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.

SW
£4.25m for some horrible modern converted monstrosity, entirely not in keeping with its beautiful surroundings. 7 bedrooms, a pool and a gym.
£70k for 1 bedroom flat. It has its own allocated parking which is worth its weight in gold here. There are some cheaper but they have holiday use only restrictions on them.

Bristol.
Highest 3 million.
"A truly magnificent double fronted Grade II listed Georgian townhouse (c. 1780) boasting light and airy accommodation over four floors (5,606 sq ft) with its own sizeable self contained basement flat with private entrance, generous 114 ft x 45 ft south facing walled gardens and nearby double garage with inspection pit."

Cheapest £75,000
"This is a well presented light and airy one bedroom first floor flat of approximately 41 sqm/ 413 sqft."

West of Scotland (approx 30 mins away from Glasgow)

Cheapest - 1 bedroom flat (just liveable imo) Guide price of £16,000

Most expensive - 5 bedroom lovely detached house offers over £479,995

There were a couple of POAs listed before the max

South east London- most expensive 8.5million 9bedroom detached house, cheapest 55k 1 bed flat

South West Surrey. Most expensive - £5,950,000, although there’s also a POA that may we’ll be more. Cheapest is a studio flat for 135,000.

1.8 million 4 bed detached house in 4 acres, some parts 17th century.

I’m in SE, commutable to London within an hour.

Fife/Kinross

£1.6million for a farm with 267 acres, a 4 bedroom farmhouse & various outbuildings - they say meticulously upgraded I say needs some a lot of work

£40,000 tiny one bedroom flat.. essentially 2 rooms with a weird wc & separate shower set up off the bedroom

South East Essex on the coast:

5 bed detached house £3,750,000
Studio flat £80,000

Lots of huge houses with POA

Moved here 5 years ago and prices have risen significantly

Lowest price: £15k for a fucking garage. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-72992233.html
Not even garage. A parking space.
Though how much is parking in that part of london? Might pay for itself in few years😮

East london: £12.5 million for a 3 bed penthouse. £49,500 for a 2 bed houseboat

Whoops forgot to say where I am - town in Buckinghamshire

Most expensive: £15m for 10 bed on 6 acres

Cheapest: £120k for a studio flat in a place I wouldn't walk through wearing my watch

North east Scotland

£3 million - castle, grounds, cottages etc
£30k 1 bed flat.

Both well within a mile of me.

City: London £60 million
City: Cambridge £3 million

I am equal distance between them really in Essex

Nearest to me most expensive - £6 million 2 miles away
(Jamie Oliver lives near me in that kind of house
Cheapest to me - £130k 1 bed flat 10 miles away

I live 15 minutes from Durham
Most expensive is 1.7mil for a 7 bed detached new build. Nice large house but not my type at all. Not that it's an option

Cheapest is a 2 bed house for 24k

East Lancashire.
£2,950,000 for an 8 bed Georgian house with oodles of land.
£5,000 for a 1 bed terrace.

Derbyshire Dales
Highest - £2.13m 7 bed farm house, 65 acres, in beautiful countryside

Lowest - £90k 1 bed flat but relatively close to a town.

North Essex.

Most expensive : £4.2 million, 70 acres, 5 bedrooms

Least expensive: £12k 2 bed mobile home. First thing that isn't a park home, a mooring or a beach hut is a studio flat at £65k.

Cardiff.
2.3 mill, semi rural family home
65k flat.
It's a city of contrasts, like many.

Worcestershire -

• cheapest £9k for a "pod home" to be sited elsewhere

• most expensive £3.5m, 7 bed house just outside Kidderminster

Edinburgh:
Cheapest: 1 bed flat 85000
Most expensive: 6 bed detached townhouse 1995000

Don't think the primelocation website is used much here though. If I search other websites, same criteria, there are more expensive properties. The highest being a 7 bed detached house at 3750000.

Ohh. This is quite eye opening.

Lowest: 1 bed flat £90,000 (it's a bit of a dive, and tiny.) Lots of garages and shared ownership before this though.

Highest: 5 bed detached £5mil. But there are 7 properties above this, including a 10 bed, that are POA....so god knows what they cost

East Lothian

1.35million 7 bed house 0.5 miles from town centre (there's a 6 bedroom Equestrian centre for sale for 1.9m but I won't count that)

£73k 1 bed flat in a different village
