I think you failed to notice "It's in the North-West".

The bottom has completely fallen out of the new build executive market in
that area.


Which North West are we talking about? The one that's a silver BMW-
commute from Manchester, or the bit beyond that, where the poor people
live?

I've got 3/4 acre up there and every intention of keeping it as an
attractive bungalow with nice gardens. However the financial
attractions of turning it over to new-build chickenhouses are still
very, very viable.


FWIW we're talking about 'the bit beyond' Cheshire ... Preston area to be
precise.

And we siblings are a bit scattered ... from close by, to me on the South
coast, to a brother in France. The D-I-Y option reeally isn't going to
happen, I'm afraid.

The house is semi-detached BTW. I'm really not expecting anyone to want to
do development of the order people are talking about here, just 'upgrading'
to 'modern' standards. Though obviously it's not of my choice...

Thanks for all the comments.
