You can also search directly on the land registry website. The only likely match for this property is "Old Granary Wharf" which sold for £400k on 20/11/2002 and for £722.5k on 10/10/2014. But it's not clear if it is the same property.

 

It isnt.

No, I mean if you want to see if the property price has been reduced after listing (not sold price)... zoopla shows it but rightmove does not.

for example this property was reduced from 345k to 329,950

Basically, the previous owner was too nice a person and too old to bother fighting CRT, she paid even though advised not to. 

You would have to look through historical as well as up to date land registry records to make sure, but it was a busy wharf at one point, and the piling  is maintained by the owner.

Hi all, thanks for the welcome to the forum.

First job will be to tackle the lawn and then sit down with a beer and take in the wonderful canal view, might not get much more done after that.

 

it’s nice to hear from anyone who passes by, say hi if your going by.

That's twice you've mentioned the lawn - what state is it in? Should you be wary of mowing it for fear of harming the pygmies who lurk within it?

Perhaps you could borrow a few sheep to tackle that grass !

A few years ago we borrowed some sheep to keep the grass short at our mooring while we were away. They were too stupid to stop moving when they reached the canal bank, & kept falling in until we installed an electric fence.

I suppose the electric fence cost less in upkeep than a border collie.

 

A couple we knew around here used to buy three or four lambs or hoggets each year to act as lawn mowers on their quite extensive lawns. How idyllic was the sheep's life there, and how fortunate that they never noticed the owners switching on the chest freezers in the outhouse about November.

 

We bought half a one, jointed and frozen, from them a couple of years running.

That reminds me of an incident when we had the farm in Wales.

 

SWMBO was always a 'soft touch' and the local vet used to call her up when anything came in that needed homing. Shortly after Chenoble a great many sheep were born deformed and one in particular was 'almost' ok but had almost no back leg on one side (sort of Thalidomide), so we took, bottle fed it and reared it to adulthood and it was happy running around the paddocks with the horse.

 

Running as an 'equestrian satellite centre' to the local college SWMBO occasionally got foreign exchange students for a few days.

One day a French girl, with a minimal command of English arrived, noticed the lamb in the field, pointed and asked "why" ? (as she hopped on one leg) getting the message SWMBO explained, that "in England, when you get a good sheep, you don't eat it all at once".
