Thats what I call wishful thinking even in London! It has a boarded-up downstairs window, and its front door is inside the work area. Network Rail will have bought that house along with the one they've demolished, and when they've finished patching up the 'join' will make it available for occupation. It was previously advertised on the rental market at £949 pcm. In 2010. That was number 27, which has been demolished. So quite likely no owner occupier lost their home. Last "recorded"[1] as sold in 2004 for £152k and currently valued by Zoopla - despite being a pile of rubble, at £260k. No sales/rental history available for number 25 (the one currently being used as a NR portaloo) since 1995. Suggests it was a compulsory purchase from a long term owner occupier. Or there has been no transfer of ownership involving payment since prices became a matter of public record. No. 23 next door was recently sold for £265,000 August 2014. And has clearly fed into the value of number 27 (had it been still standing). [1] But that's not unexpected because they only publish sales on the open market, not stuff like compulsory purchases. Presumably these properties were blighted many years ago, once the Crossrail plans were known? So number 23 might have been worth rather more without the project. |
