Chapter 88 Fafa~~Buy a house
"Maybe I need to buy a house."
Before the age of three, Tabor's body was too small and he had little autonomy.After coming to the UK, he spent most of his time before going to school either at Prince Castle or in the basement of Axel Manor, studying potions.Now we can't go to Prince's Castle, and Taber feels like an eyesore at Axel Manor.
Taber glanced at the UK's housing prices online in his last life. Basically, there is no problem in outperforming inflation, and the vast majority of properties are freehold. As long as they are not sold, the house will always belong to you.
Yes, Tubo prefers ordinary people's houses to manor houses registered with the Ministry of Magic.Tubo obviously prefers a house where electrical appliances are more convenient to a simple magic manor.
Gringotts has always exchanged pounds to galleons at five to one, which, in Tabor's opinion, is simply giving money to his future self.
After converting all the galleons he had saved over the years into pounds, Tabor received a total of nearly [-] pounds.For the current average house price of less than [-] pounds, it is enough to buy a small house to live alone.
The goblins of Gringotts were also very happy. For them, gold galleons were the real valuable thing. As for the pound notes, they were of no use, and they had to bother returning them to those stupid Muggles.
Tubber first went to the legendary Grimmauld Place. Except for No. 12, which is the ancestral home of the Black family, all the other houses are Muggle properties.However, Taber unfortunately found that it seemed impossible for him to own an independent house here.And living with ordinary people, it is a bit inconvenient to use magic after all.
After that, Tabor looked around Wu's Orphanage and Chinatown, but did not see any suitable houses for sale.
It is worth mentioning that when Tubo was passing through west London, he discovered a long north-south road, which was the famous Baker Street.However, there is no 221b on Baker Street here, it is just a very ordinary street.
After nearly a week of understanding, Tabor also found that he seemed to think that buying a house was too easy, and his identity as a wizard meant that it was inconvenient for him to live under the same roof with others, unless that person was also a wizard.
Only then did Taber re-examine his motivations for buying a house.One is to live in. You want to have an environment where you won't be disturbed. Although Hogsmeade is good, as a pure wizarding village, it doesn't even have electricity.
The second point is for investment. At least before Tabor crossed over, the housing prices in London could be said to cycle every ten years. The average price in 1968 was more than 4000 pounds, and in 1990 it reached 7 pounds.
With this in mind, Taber's vision was no longer limited to London.Instead, he went around all the places in his memory.
In the end, Tubo owned his first house in the world entirely on Spider End Lane in Cokeworth.
The town of Cockerworth is an industrial town. There are many communities with good conditions in the central area of the town, and the prices are much cheaper than in London. However, Tubo found that only when he arrived at Spider End Alley, the fragments of his artifact could be found. can make a difference.
Compared to more than 20 years later, the place now is not too bad. Although it is just a suburb, the house is a very solid brick structure and the floor is paved with cobblestones.Most of the surrounding residents are workers in the town. The mill with the huge chimney not far away is still in operation. The original owner of the house in Tubo was the steward of the mill.
After Tabor used the Confusion Curse several times to complete all the formalities, he couldn't wait to return to the Leaky Cauldron and checked out the room there.Then he found a corner and apparated back to No. 9 Spider End Alley.
The previous owner had other properties in town, so he didn't live in the two-story building most of the time.Although the furniture at home is still very new, it has accumulated a lot of dust.
"A lot."
"Owner."
Looking at Duoduo's big eyes, Tabor suddenly felt that he was exploiting his house elves a little too much. Duoduo not only had to tidy up Axel Manor, but also had to help him tidy his bedroom from time to time. Now there was another elf. here.
"Master, do you need Duoduo to clean this place?" Duoduo didn't feel abused at all.
"Well, let's clean it up."
Seeing Duoduo's efforts to clean up, Tabor didn't dare to help and simply returned to Axel Manor.
Before entering the house, Tabor saw his parents sitting on the sofa feeding each other.
"I am back."
"Oh, where have you been these past few days? Did you have fun?" Axel seemed to be used to showing affection in front of his son, and did not feel the slightest embarrassment.
"I went and bought a house."

"?"
"Oh? It's impossible for the Ministry of Magic to sell you a house while you're still attending Hogwarts!" Axel said with some doubt in his tone.
"Is it possible that you bought it from someone else? And honey, why did you suddenly think of buying a house? Isn't this a good place?" Inas was a little confused.
Tabor briefly talked about his process of buying a house: "I just think it's more interesting to live around Muggles."
Axel and Inas have no prejudice against Muggles, and they think it is normal for their son to move out and live independently when he grows up.But Tabor is only 13 years old now and has not graduated from Hogwarts yet!
"Where is the Spider Alley? It doesn't sound like much." Axel asked with a complicated expression. He always felt that it was too early for his son to go out on his own.
"I asked Duoduo to clean it up. Let's go over there and take a look when it's done. Then we need to connect to the floo network here. Muggle-repelling spells and protective spells must also be arranged."
Seeing Tabor's excited look, Axel and Inas looked at each other, each took out a Gringotts key and placed it on the coffee table.
"Tabor, in fact, your mother and I opened two vaults for you in France when you were born. We originally thought we would give them to you when you graduated from Beauxbatons, but we didn't expect that we would end up in the UK later. .”
Inas added: "Last time we returned to France, we transferred all the things there to the vault here. Since you have your own ideas, we all think we can give this to you in advance."
"This," Tabor didn't expect that his parents, who almost only had eyes for each other, would give him something.
"Okay, put it away quickly." Axel urged: "Let's go see the house you bought now."
