**** thats a lie... Tuesday is boxing night for the nipper. Youngest at the club and spars with 11 year olds. Im praying he doesn't get bored and sticks to it, got good potential and perfect age to start (started a year ago or more though). I want him to up it to 2 nights a week though, thats my worry he might get bored if i push him.
The property might have sentimental value, maybe her childhood home, and she likes the romantic notion of seeing someone buying it who fits her idea of the next custodian, as opposed to a faceless investor. Naive and a bit daft, but I can understand the sentiment.
Even if someone bought it for themselves the likelihood is they’d knock it about and smarten it up. For me in these situations you just price the investors out of buying it if you know in advance. As the value of a property is subjective to the buyer. An investor wants to make profit so will offer less than market value to enable the profit. Where as a buyer that wants it for a home would pay more as the profit isn’t an issue. That said most buyers will still want to see some sort of profit as no one wants to buy a house that needs doing up and find its only just worth what it owes.
The market might end up diluting her sentiment, depends on the desirability of the property I suppose.
