I think this is oversimplified- it’s now a negotiation around planning and funding.The main thing is universals decision. We can't go any further until they decide.

Nothing really to tell except the strange markings that have appeared.
Somewhat related but there’s a Jurassic World Exhibition opening at the Trafford Centre in Manchester tomorrow.
Jurassic World: The Exhibition - Manchester
For those that don’t know, the Trafford Centre is a large shopping mall complex with other nearby activities like a ski slope and indoor sky diving, plus a large water park about to start construction (Therme Manchester).
@ProjectUniversalUK @rob@rar Interesting. The land registry site is not showing number 1 as sold, and is showing numbers 2 and 3. Zoopla is showing number 1 and 2 and not number 3. So it looks like 1, 2 and 3 may all have been sold. With the thought in mind that none of the sources appear to be showing the full picture, I wonder if any more have sold. Being a row of terraced housing, it would be better to buy the whole terrace.As reported by @ProjectUniversalUK on his Facebook page, selling price data for the houses on Manor Road that Universal bought has now started to appear (on Zoopla). Universal definitely paying well above the market rate. One house has doubled in price in less than three years (Annex, 1 Eastwood Cottages was bought for £165K in December 2021 and Universal bought it for £333K in March of this year). Looks like they are very keen to acquire the property located in the very middle of their site.
I did briefly see a video on YouTube recently from a guy who had visited that row of houses and found that a number of them were empty already (sorry, I forget which YouTube channel it was, it just appeared in my timeline). The Land Registry (and websites like Zoopla) can take three or four months to update after the sale of houses has been finalised, so Universal may have already bought more of the houses than the Land Registry is reporting. As you say, it makes sense to buy all of them, if they can.@ProjectUniversalUK @rob@rar Interesting. The land registry site is not showing number 1 as sold, and is showing numbers 2 and 3.
