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.

Greater London....
Cheapest (excluding garages and shares of properties): £115k studio apartment.

Most expensive: £5.7 million, five bed terrace.

I'll let you guess where (it begins with L!)
Cheapest (excluding garages and shares of properties): £90k studio apartment.
Most expensive £82.5m - 10 bed terraced house!

£19000 for a garage. Cheapest dwelling - £41,250

To £16.5MM

Just seen that excluded studios. Cheapest is 140k for a 1 bed flat (down a street I wouldn't walk down unless really forced).

Most expensive: £1.75 country house
Lowest cost: £90,000 1 bed studio flat

both within five miles which is mad, really

£150k cheapest that isn't a studio flat

Wiltshire, small town, 30 mins to nearest big place.

Cheapest - 45k 1 bed flat above a shop
Most expensive - 6 million 6 bed detached house

Although you can buy a parking space for 5k

North Yorkshire.
Highest: £2,495,000 “country house” with a smaller lodge in the grounds. Does look rather nice actually!
Lowest: £120k 1 bedroom flat!

2 bedroom apartment 210,000.
5 bedroom bungalow 750,000.
3 bedroom terrace my estate 265,000.
3 bedroom terrace a mile away to the right 400,000.
3 bedroom terrace a mile to the left 120,000 lots of antisocial behaviour, stolen cars, drugs in estate a mile to the left.
I live in Dublin, even a tent is expensive.

South East, not far from the coast. Commutable to London.

Cheapest (discounting retirement flats, shared ownership and plots of land): £140k for a 1 bed flat: new development but just about walking distance to town and the station.

Most expensive: 6.75 million for a sprawling 9 bedroom country place with massive gardens, indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, stables etc etc

Live in Se londom close to Greenwich and checking online the most expensive I can see if for 7.1 million for a block of 16 flats.

6.8 million for a 4 bed flat near Tower bridge

1 bedroom flat above shop in forest hill for 50000

On the south coast near Southampton.

Most expensive - £3.75m for 5 bed with a pool and 22 acres on the edge of the New Forest
Least expensive - just shy of £90k for a studio close to station and city centre

I think it's interesting to look at the spread of the values to give an idea of the disparity of wealth in the area - 42 studio flats or one 5 bed house?

Jersey.

£35,000 very small shop. Think average bedroom sized.

£18,800,000. 8 bedroom. 8 bath. Pool. Games room. Parking for 20. www.places.je/property/5991
