To think that there is an extra '1' in the price on this house

£475k isn't exactly affordable mind, but WTF?

I think this is the house:

(There is a gap in the streetview coverage).

It doesn't really look like a millionaire's gaffe does it?

Main road, no Aston Martins or Lamborghinis visible.

Five bedrooms, Teddington, it sounds about right[#] -- probably too high for that particular property, but in the right ballpark. We're in SW London but further in and you'd only get three or four bedrooms for that here (this is why we are stuck in a cramped flat with no garden ).

[#] for a given value of 'right' -- i.e. seems quite ridiculous but is apparently what the market will bear.

Absolutely ridiculous.

This is a house near to me and so is more the kind of thing that I'd imagine when I see that kind of price.

The house in your link would be £275,000 max.

£275000 wouldn't buy you a one bed place in Teddington.

AnneEyhtMeyer so does Basingstoke.

They take about as long too.

This one is even on Richmond Road:

That is a truely ugly house, inside and out. You'd have to be deranged to spend that sort of money on it

I agree SummerRain

Same price.....but this is for a flat in a block!

If I had a million and a half I wouldn't buy that.
But I have no connections to the place or any understanding of the local area or schools etc.
I am sure uf Teddington meant something to me as an aspirational place then I would think it worth it.

or if you fancied venturing further north still, this up for sale close to me...you'd even get some change!

Thinking about it, it seems quite often horrid looking places are very sought after. I have thought on many threads about where to live in/near Birmingham that the areas suggested are just horrible and you couldn't pay me to live there.

oops!

If this was in a nice area in Birmingham it would cost no more that 150k! London is ridiculous, you get nothing for your money.

It would cost more that 150k in Brum melika, My 2 bed 2 reception room terrace is worth 159k, and I am in South Yardley so not particularly nice.

Same money, same number of bedrooms round here

Oooh I grew up in Teddington in a 5-bed house. Parents bought it for £300k. It's now on the market for £2.5mil (outing myself completely here) which I think is mad but they've had several viewings already.

This one? www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-41694007.html

Seems to be relatively more justifiable as its twice the size and looks like a nicer location.

Would be interested to know where the £2.5m to buy the place come from, mind.

Our 2 bed flat that we rent was valued at £1.3 million. It's rather average but in zone 2 London

How utterly depressing.

Wow, that is...ummm..well..I don't know what to say.
You'd pay about £80k for that in some parts of Manchester.

How much do you pay in rent Artandco?

About right for mad-crazy London prices. A hideous house, but . . .

DEVON???? WHere???

This one offers ideal accommodation for millionaire barnyard animals:

Del Boy used to live here, now he truly is a millionaire:
