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.

Cheapest - a 1 bedroom houseboat for £40k, or a second floor studio flat about a parade of shops for £149,950 but they're clear that it needs to be a cash purchase so goodness knows what's wrong with it.

That £1.5m house has 11 acres, a three bed staff flat, at least two spiral staircases, panelled library etc etc. It looks to be in walk-in condition and grounds look splendid. It was originally for Robert the Bruce and has a Burns connection. Within 40 mins Edinburgh Airport. Seems too cheap...
