Blimey, Ingham Towers is up for sale again? Wonder if they'll actually manage to shift it this time. Pretty sure that the same, brand new houses on the development were selling for around £370,000 a few months back?
My thoughts on why they are selling:
1) The tax bill has plopped through the door and they need their deposit on the house back in order to pay it. Any profit will be wiped out by estate agent fees, moving costs and stamp duty on a new property (assuming they buy one). Which leads me onto ...
2) They will sell the house and go back to renting. As they are running a 'business' (stop laughing at the back) they can write off a portion of their rent for tax purposes (editing etc). I'm not sure they can do that with the mortgage repayments?
Who on earth would buy that place other than one of their deluded ifam. I can picture it now, "Mum, I don't want a pop - sorry, phone - socket for Christmas, I want the Ingham's old chavpad. Can I have it Mum, can I, can I? Go on Mum, you can put it on the credit card you took out to buy me a Rubber Jason".
The new owner can then recoup their outlay by charging people for a guided tour of the house:
"Here's the kitchen where Sarah cooked the Pot Noodles"
"Here's the garage still crammed full of unused Poundland, plastic Christmas tat"
"Here's the garden where Prinny used to shit - oh, look over there - there's still a mound of uncleared turds"
"Here's the spare room where Chris used to sleep - you can still smell his beanie"
