Perhaps the sale fell through in the end? I'm inclined to think that might well have happened. In my experience property trading any deal priced too high or too low tends to fail and £95k seems cheap. OTOH £170k for a house there with no road access or parking seems toppy. I wouldn't pay that much for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesthenuke Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 On 05/03/2024 at 18:03, Alan de Enfield said: From the details : The property was originally a former lock cottage on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal. It has been substantially extended and over the years to form the current house. Internally there are some original parts with timber frame work still visible internally. The property offers lots of opportunities for not only family living but scope for multi-generational living and ample opportunity to work from home. Maybe the lockie had to 'walk to work. AFAIK the S&W cottage were not timber framed but all brick. I still doubt this is a lock cottage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure boats with a CRT or BW mooring used to display two license 'discs' back in the day. One being the normal boat license and the other being one's mooring license when mooring on line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the discount for an electric boat with a big diesel outboard that use to be moored there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a land-locked plot 10m x 80m with no access other than from the water's edge, it appears. £120k for that seems awfully optimistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one for several years, from recollection it was called a Mooring Permit, and had a large green capital "M" on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was previously offered at £400k so at least it is getting cheaper. The previous estate agent very carefully cropped out the large substation at one side and the Biffa skip at the other side. Took plenty of pics of the boats that are the other side of the boundary though. I wouldn't pay for one of the moorings there though never mind a property.
