Cheap house for sale in Devon

[Slicer Dicer]

The house in Devon- if you look at Google Street view (taken 9 years ago) the house actually looks pretty tidy and presentable from the outside- you wonder what could have happened to allow it to get so bad. Average house price in that street is £200k. There's 5 rooms in that house and reckon you could get things fairly orderly for say £12k a room. £60k, let's say £80k for contingencies. Still could leave a decent return for an investor.

Just out of interest what is a slutpriser (just above the map)? ☺️

There are many beautiful properties in Sweden,it can be difficult to determine how much exactly they sell for though. They seldom publish the sale price.

 

Sounds like you have the perfect job to make the most of the cheap places to live Steven.

Feel sorry for the guy who used to live there (assume dead now), there's a pile of sh1t at the top of the stairs

 

Likewise. You can tell a lot about a person from the contents of their home. That poor geezer, could have had a few cans with him (outside) and talked about WW2 and baby seals.

Do you work in a factory now J?

 

Did you sell your forwarder in the end?

 

Hardly any Swedes want to work in the sticks,there just isn't any life or opportunity there.

I don't think that you can compare a house in Ilfracombe to within 30km of a country's capital. Infact, in terms of infrastructure and opportunities, there is more to go on here than in North Devon. 

 

 

There is a fair bit. Don't get me wrong, if you don't have the right skills, work won't be so straight forward, but if you're in either primary or secondary industry and you're good at it, you'll do well. Within 45 minutes of us, we have a major IKEA factory, Nordan windows and the global manufacturing hub of Volvo articulated haulers (employing 800 people). I have returned to an earlier line of work, and now lead the resaw line at a large exporting sawmill, which processes around 1000t of roundwood a day and exports 40% of that to the UK.
 

 

Like any rural area, there are issues of course. There has been a massive influx of European migrants in recent years though, so the demographic has gotten younger and more diverse. Loads of Germans, Dutch, Danes, *insert just about any European nationality here*.

 

 

Within 30km of Stockholms centre isn't a fair comparison. And why does it need to be the capital? We live 1hr from Växjö, a city the size of Exeter, 35 minutes from Vetlanda (a smaller city) and 25 minutes from Hultsfred, a large town. We have all we need. You can fly to the UK from Växjö.

 

 

Driving here in winter is a doddle. You have a few days with dodgy snow (the wet, slushy stuff that everyone hates) but for the most part it's like driving at other times of year. Almost everyone has studded winter tyres and you just drive at 80% of your summer speed. 

 

I envy those people who have true freedom about where they can live due to remote working. That's a wonderful opportunity to have, and potentially quite exciting. 

 

 

Haha! If only. 

Slut means end and priser is prices. So Slutpris is the final price.

Pics of the sawmill please - and some more pics! 1000 tonne a day is incredible!
