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 Northants.
Most costly - offers over £1,250,00 for an 11 bedroomed detached house. Fabulous. (Can I have it please?)
Least expensive - £79,999 - one bedroom flat over a shop.

Rural SE England most expensive £3,050,000 11 bedroomed country pile in a 50+ acre estate. Cheapest 100,000 1 bed maisonette described as needing total refurb. Zero internal pictures so I assume even the bath tub is a fright!

Home Counties. Cheapest: 1 bed "park home" (ie: non-mobile mobile home), £90,000, but you also have to pay site fees of £143/month. Next cheapest non-park home - 1 bed flat, "offers in excess of" £110,000.

Dearest: well there are several above it in the listings which are "price on application", but the most expensive one with a price tag is a 7 bed detached going for 6.5 million.

Most expensive...12.5 million for a three bed flat
Cheapest...a garage for 25k

Teesside

Most expensive £1,995,000 5 bed house with land

Cheapest auction £7,500 guide price 2 bed flat above a shop

Cheapest with an actual price £20,000 for mid terrace which the estate agent has no access to and there's no internal viewings. They have been told it's 2 bedrooms. There is only an external photo.

The cheapest house with an actual price and pictures is £27,500 2 bed terraced house.

Also surprised at how cheap you can get a one bed flat in some southern places/London outskirts etc.

I'm in Midlands in an area people on mn always tell others to move to as it's "cheap"...

However : cheapest 1 bed flat £74k
Cheapest house £110k
Most expensive house £3,750,000

£15k-£35k for NE/NW/Wales is ridiculously lower than round here.

SE London.
Pages and pages of parking spaces and garages for sale from £22k to £85k.
Cheapest residential property is a studio for £90k (leasehold).
Most expensive, just under £30 million for a 7 bed townhouse.

Newcastle

Highest: £2,950,000 for a 5 bed detached - I love it! (But if I had £3mil I wouldn't be living here)

Lowest £80,000 for a pretty basic 2 bed flat in a tower block.

There's a house just round the corner from us, two bed terrace, guide price of 11 (yes, eleven) K.
I very much doubt there's anything more than 750K within five miles.

Most expensive £11,250,000.
11 bed house.

Cheapest
£43,750
1 bed flat.

In the south east.

Interesting that it's the top end prices that wildly differ. But not surprising if you think about it.

@Felyne is looking at the same properties as me. She must live down the road from me!!

£2,250,000 for a 5 bed house
£4,000 for a garage
£60,000 (auction guide price) for a 1 bed flat that's a shit hole.

It sounds like I live somewhere lovely, but in reality it's somewhere very ordinary. The SE is just so expensive.

£3 million 5 bed.

£22,000 2 bed flat in a derilict looking block.

W mids.

North west here.

Most expensive is a five bed detached at £2.4 million.

Cheapest is a 2 bed ground floor flat at £40k

NE London

Cheapest
One bed studio £280k

Most expensive
Two bed flat £1.5M

Isle of Wight

Most expensive: 5 bedroom Victorian house with gorgeous sea views. £2.5 million.

In the middle somewhere: Our detached 3 bedroom Victorian cottage in crap condition, prob worth about £190,000.

Cheapest: Attractive 1 bedroom flat in Victorian house in the centre of Ryde. £70,000. There are usually flats available around £55-60 K, but not on Primelocation right now.

Mid Devon Village

£65k - 1 bed maisonette.

Co Durham, 4 Bedroom Country House, 2 Million, and its gorgeous!

West Midlands

SE London / Kent borders:
Most expensive - POA. Next one down - large house in private estate - £6.25m. Cheapest that isn’t a park home, a studio or needs loads of work done - 1 bed first floor flat for offers in excess of £200k.

North London... most expensive, £60 million 6 bed house (wtf?!) opposite Buckingham Palace.

Cheapest that isn't a garage, a boat or a plot of land is a 1 bed flat overlooking the motorway outside Luton, on at £150k.

Oops forgot Lowest, Bungalow which looks like a static caravan but hey ho, £10000

Oh I like this!

I'm just outside of Glasgow - Five miles covers a good bit of the city and surrounding areas.
Cheapest; £15k. One bedroom ex local authority in a pretty grim area. No photos of inside and billed as an investment opportunity so suspect work required.
Most expensive;£1.3m in very niace area popular with professional footballers. 5 bedroom, 4 bath detached traditional sandstone villa with huge garden. Very flashy.
