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.

I live a five minute walk south of London Bridge.

On primelocation, most expensive: £115,000,000 (that is not a typo); cheapest (not a garage/houseboat/retirement flat/investment property/land/business property): £179,000 studio flat.

Rural SW - cheapest is £72k for a 2 bed semi which seems very reasonable given the next cheapest is £78k for a 1 bed flat.
Most expensive £2.5m for a 6 bed grade 2 manor house with 6 acres and an indoor pool.
