The cheapest and the most expensive property within 5 miles...

[TheFridgeRaider]

Seeing so many threads about properties and the difference in prices reported I get why it can be so difficult for people to imagine the differences between areas.

Would IBU to be curious and ask you to hop on primelocation and see what are the cheapest and the most expensive properties within 5 miles of your home? Ignore shared ownership, retirement only and investment student studios. Obviously you don't have to post links, just say the area so you can keep anonymous.

I will start.
NW big city
The cheapest:
2 bed flat 35k. Fully livable! Just needs decorating. 15 min to city centre.
The most expensive: 😮
8 bed, oh so amazing, grade 2 listed £1,995,000. 25 min to city centre.

South west

A (one bed) park home for £59,950+

If you exclude park homes, £84,950 for a 1 bed flat. The main bedroom appears to be a box room with a single bed. You could probably fit a double in the living room, but there's no door to the kitchen.

The next kindof habitable place is £104,500 for a studio flat. The bed is next to the sofa, next to the coffee table, next to the dining table. At least they get a double bed in. On the plus side it has a garage!

3mil - 7 bed detached, 10 acres with an annex, paddock, barn. Quite dated inside though!

Meant to say the 10 bed mansion with 427 acres is £10 million

Most expensive : POA
A Classical Detached Villa
Grade II Listed
Situated In A Private Leafy Park
A Designated Conservation Area
Plot Size Approximately 3/4 Of An Acre (3 Standard Park Plots Combined)
Separate Coach House Enjoying Planning Permission
Next is £1.45M 5 bed detached house.

Cheapest is £25k 'study bedroom' in student halls, but the cheapest non 'investment' student Hall type is £35k studio flat in listed building, dire need of painting but new bathroom etc so pretty ready to go.
In the NW, due to proximity to river mersey we pick up Liverpool and wirral properties in a 5m search

Ex milltown north west England. Cheapest is a 1 bed flat at £39k. Most expensive 7 bed house with pool and tennis court at £1.85m

Lots of studios. I wouldn't live in one now, but ooooooh. How I would love to play with the fold up to the wall furniture there.
I love series where they take tiny space and use smart solutions to turn it into really practical space.

South East

Cheapest £250,000
Most expensive £12m!!!

In Derbyshire.

SE Northumberland. Cheapest £15,000, one bed flat - that's the auction starting price, though. If you're talking straight-up selling, £24,950.

'The lower ground floor offers an entertainment room with a feature cocktail bar area, snug room, cloaks room/WC, 3D cinema, gymnasium, leisure suite with a 40ft swimming pool, 8 person jacuzzi, steam room, shower room, toilet facilities and plant room' That's in Darras Hall, near Newcastle, where lots of the NUFC players live.

There are villages outside the stated area where there are "vair naice" mansions and farmhouses.

1.6 million for an equestrian property 4 beds, barn, loads of stables 30 odd acres.
40k for 2 bed tce. Perfectly liveable in.

Lowest - SO £81k 3 bed house, outright 2 bed flat at £115k., £230k 2 bed bungalow.
