Haunted house prices plummet
February 4th, 2009 by admin
According to The Independent, if your house is haunted it could have a negative impact on its value.
Obviously as an online property portal whose business pivots on the buying and selling of homes, this is a major concern for us at Primelocation.com. The more we think about it, in fact, the more we realise there are many things you may not have previously considered that could be affecting your sale price. To help you identify the problem, we’ve compiled a short list of…
Other things that may cause your house price to plummet
- Neighbourhood werewolves
- The Zombies outside your house, groaning and staring through the window with dead, milky pupils at the estate agent trying to show prospective buyers the original cornicing
- An angry leprechaun that lives in your garden shed and hums the entire Pirates of Penzance score while throwing pinecones at you whenever you’re weeding the azalea beds
- A unicorn that sleeps under your bed and keeps stabbing you in the back with its stupid magical horn while you’re trying to sleep
- Oompa Loompas in the kitchen that sing annoying songs about love handles whenever you open the fridge door
- A vampire that lives in your closet and says things like, “Cheer up, it might never happen!” every time you reach for a cardigan.
Have I forgotten any? Let me know.
(Incidentally if you do have any of the above residing in a property that you are currently trying to sell, please be aware that unless you declare the problem to potential buyers you may be prosecuted under the Property Misdescriptions Act of 1991. If you are advertising your property for sale on Primelocation.com, please call us with the details of your haunting immediately and we will write it up on our imaginary typewriter.)
