100k, massive council estate, but all built with faults and can only be sold to cash buyers.

When it was first allowed the council sold some of the houses for 30k, the faults were found and the council then had to spend 60k on each house to rebuild them from the ground up. These sell for about 250k

Since then mortgage companies won't accept them. I think its a positive thing, the houses are are fine to live in, all have 3 beds, large gardens etc and as they can't get a mortgage on them people that want to buy have to move out leaving the council houses for those that need them.

£500,000

£44k (not a typo)

Our house was 3 x that but still a lot less than most of your averages. We actually live in a pretty nice town but a lot of our postcode is made up of small old, very run down flats that in recent years have been auctioned off for ca. £20k, gutted and turned into lovely airbnbs as we are a popular tourist town - one was on homes under the hammer - so I imagine in 20 years the average will rise significantly.

No idea, it’s only 4 houses and (apart from ours) they’ve all been in the same hands since the 1960s. Would be interested to know because they’re all decent sized Edwardian properties with big gardens but they vary hugely in condition and state of repair!

margotrose · 05/11/2023 07:54

118k.

Ours was 60k seven years ago.

Evaka · 05/11/2023 07:54

£1.4 but we rent a 1 bed here.

It might be helpful to say roughly what area people live in. It looks like a lot of posters live in London judging by some of the prices.

It is difficult to find average house prices in our street as people tend to stay put. Only two houses have been sold in our street in the last 15 years, and current estimated valuation is anything between £600k and £700k (Village in South Yorkshire).

I'm in Sydney, Australia in a very average suburb with very average houses about 30km from the city. A house here is around 1.4-1.5m AUD (approx £750-800k I think).

RichPetunia · 05/11/2023 08:08

About £2.50😁

BitofaStramash · 05/11/2023 08:13

£307k

It's a SIMD 10 area

Some of which might be made up it's just an internet forum 😁 statistically not that many people live on £1million+ streets

About 285k here

Well, I don't know for sure if people are making things up

But statistically in the UK ,1 in 40 people live in houses costing more than £1million.

We don't know the proportion of those visiting mumsnet...

did you read where I said we don't know the proportion?

Approx 23 replies ( ignoring the 80bln) out of 137 replies are over 1m.

I find that to be believable.

RampantIvy · 05/11/2023 13:21

did you read where I said we don't know the proportion?

Yes. Hence the tongue in cheek grin. There are also a disproportionate number of mumsnetters on 6 figure salaries as well.

£1billion £344,000

10HailMarys · 05/11/2023 13:29

£330K, according to RightMove. Not sure it really means much, though. It’s a long road and the properties would range from some very nice four/five-bed detached houses to one-bed flats above shops no outside space.

AnotherCountryMummy · 05/11/2023 13:33

Living on an expensive road doesn't make somebody a millionaire.

They could be like us and have a fucking great big mortgage and the house that brings the whole average down 😅

womencalledwendyarebendy · 05/11/2023 13:34

According to RightMove, £1.8m.

Vitriolinsanity · 05/11/2023 17:51

450k

Hardly anyone moves though. It's a bit niche.

Prettypaisleyslippers · 05/11/2023 17:52

800k

bippityboppity87 · 05/11/2023 18:03

It varies. £200k+ to about £500k+ the next street along. Central Edinburgh, about ten mins walking distance from the city centre. Bog standard flats

Getmeoutofheere · 05/11/2023 18:26
