Re: All made out of ticky tacky
The "Little Boxes" song describes modern houses in the UK. So-called Double Bedrooms that can only take a 4ft 6in Double. Single rooms where trying to swing a cat would lead to criminal charges and really shoddy construction.
I looked at a new-build house costing £525,000 near my 1930's built semi. If the new build lasts 25 years then I would be very surprised. The builder was offering me £325,000 in part exchange. Daylight robbery as I had mine valued at £410,000 in April.
Then there is the size of the plot. It was 1/3rd of the size of the plot that my current house is built on.
The final straw was the total lack of parking. Only space for 0.5 cars per house. no garages either. The nearest bus stop (no Sat or Sun Service) is over a mile away. numpties.
All this is less than 10 miles from the M25.
They did look all the same and were definitely made out of ticky-tacky.
