How much money did you make on your most recent house sale?

[EasternFall]

• Bought in 2010 for £ 260 k
• Sold in 2016 for £ 465 k
• Increase of £ 205 k in 6 years
• Location: West London (Zone 4)

Anyone else? It would be interesting to see the differences around the country. I realise I have benefited massively from the London property market, which is bonkers IMHO.

Bought 2011 for 460 K
Sold 2015 for 580 K

Berkshire. New build. No extensions or work done on property.

Flat we sold in London for 320K in 2011 recently sold for 600K

N London
Bought 2005 £315k
Sold 2009 £500k
Spent about £15k on it
So that's £170k, tax free, in 4 years
Completely insane
(it's now worth about £800k )

Bought 2011 for £290, moving next week , sold for £395k ( spent 15k on new kitchen though )

Buying house last sold in 1999 for £280k, bought for £499k
Home Counties modern (ish) estate houses both

East Midlands, small 3 bed detached,1970s build

Bought for £140k in 2009
Sold for £153k in 2015

We had a new bathroom fitted in 2010 (c. £5k) and the garden landscaped and new driveway in 2013 (c. £5k) plus the previous owner was an extremely heavy smoker and we left it lovely, so I feel that's pretty fair.

Just had a valuation. Bought for £440k in 2008, spent 150k on extension, current value £1.1m. Can't complain

Bought 2011 140k sold 2014 180k. South east, broke the ceiling price in our road by 15k.

You don't really want to know

..... over 23 years we netted £3.3m after deducting expenses. Had to move out to renovate to 2015 expectations.

SW London. 50% risk/50% luck. 1992-2015.

Bought my old house (East Anglia) for £133k in 2001. Sold in 2015 for £507k. Nuts....

Last one we sold was in the late 1990's
Bought for £36k sold for £100k about 8 years later. No plans to sell anything anymore only buy to keep and rent out.
Not London.

1997 - £55k
2015 - £215k

Oh not London
Rural SE

Bought 2005 £360k - did £100k renovations, just valued 2016 as £950k. North London zone 2.
But as much as that looks like an easy half mill profit in ten years, all the other places that we could move to in London which have one extra room (for our bigger family) but are one zone out (for economy) are now £1.2m+, when they used to be £500k. The extra profit would help the deposit but the remainder would be assessed on our salary, and we dont earn enough to increase the mortgage to the double it would take- so we are stuck. So it's not real money unless we leave London and our jobs and friends, never to return.

£170 000

South London flat bought for £165k in 2004, sold for £345k

Terraced house, bought for £375k in 2007, sold for £800k
