Wow. I knew house prices were insane in England, but I had no clue they were that insane. Our 4 bedroom 2 bath 120 year old house would sell for about 110,000 your money. (I think its $220,000 in American dollars- well thats my estimate from the last time I looked @ the exchange rate). We're in a suburb of Chicago and about 45 minutes from downtown in traffic. And thats in about the mid-range. I have a friend who just bought a house for $70,000. A 3 bedroom. Mind you, she's out in the middle of nowhere.....
That blows my mind. ANd I thought it was bad here! WOW! You have also managed to dash my dreams of someday buying a house in England and retiring there. (hubby has dual citizenship)
