There's an eyesore at the bottom of our row that could do with going on 'Homes Under The Hammer'.

Its near Plantation Street.

If they're thinking of bulldozing me I shall be demanding considerable compensation. There are a few that are grim down below but not all of us are demolishworthy.

You'r right there spuggie, single crap brick 2"x2" wood frames with the cavity filled with expanded poystyrene dust, they built some on the side of the Coppice out of concrete brick, and are forever having to replace frost damaged bricks. It is nearly impossible to fit showers etc to the inside walls, as they will not take the weight. Why they don't do like all the other towns, and renovate the substantial shells of the terraced houses is beyond belief.

Totally agree with you both there. These houses have been standing over 100 years - I doubt the little cardboard boxes being built today will last that long.

Be careful you could end up spending money on surveys for nothing, large houses can just eat up money, but on the up side once its yours you can do the work as you can afford it
