    I might take a chance on it if it was very very very cheap because of what it was.

    But no way would I pay that price to live in a place where 12 corpses used to be buried beneath the floorboards, after being murdered and sexually molested after death! I bet however much they've cleaned it up and even if there's been new floorboards put in, there's still DNA around and - believing in those kind of things - an unhealthy or/and evil atmosphere and possibly ghosts.

    That property should have it's price much reduced in my opinion. After all how much is it going to cost to get the ghostbusters and exorsists in?

    Another one here that doesn't care about the history, but the price is outrageous.

    My parents own a house of roughly the same value in Buckinghamshire but it has 4 bedrooms, a garage, front garden and a back garden 4 times the size

    They're only about 45 minutes from central London by train.

    Who buys these places?!

    The Cranley Gardne flat is for sle at a substantially cheaper price thsn you would usually pay for a flat in that road.

    I'm surprised at how little I would want to live there. I'm sure it's safe and prostitute giblet-free now, but bleugh.
    Someone was murdered in my childhood home. After I left but it changed my feelings about the place.

    it wouldn't bother me as long as i knew for sure there wasn't any dna left over from the victims in the way of skin or blood on the walls etc.

    horrendously overpriced though. i thought at first that you got the whole house for that price.

    That's London for you!

    Oh shit, I only just realised that it's only for one floor of that house :eek:

    That is London, but it isn't right, at all. I mean that's even more hopelessly priced than I already thought.

    And they want prices to rise?! :confused:

    Clearly they only want the elite to be homeowners

    As long as it wasn`t built on a Native American burial site, which let`s face it is pretty likely.

    Yeah it's kind of depressing how you need around 300k just for a one-bed flat in a niceish area of London. :(

    I don't see how most Londoners ever get to be homeowners!

    You can buy a 3 bedroom house with a decent garden for 300k in a green leafy area 11 minutes from London Bridge. You just have to look for the untrendy places.

    Can't say I'd fancy that flat much, no. I'm an insomniac with an overactive imagination.

    I have nothing against people who want to live in London, it's just not for me. The price of property though is simply really bad value for money. At least that one has a garden which I believe is a good thing.

    I couldn't. I went through a period of reading about notorious killers and what he got up to there was just:eek::cry:. Didn't he get caught because human remains had blocked pipes or something? Eeww.

    He killed 12 men in the flat, had sex with the bodies and then disposed of the corpses by dismembering them and hiding them under the floorboards.

    Sounds like a nice bloke

    It looks like Tony Starks tower, yeas please!

    As to the original flat, It is beautiful, the history would make no difference in me wanting to buy it, but the price would.

    As others have said the price puts me off a lot more than what happened in it as you never know what's gone on in any house but I know paying that much money for that much space is ridiculous

    That's especially useful for a serial killer.;)

    The price is just gobsmacking. And I would never again live in a groundfloor flat - noise from above would worry me more than what used to be under the floorboards.
