😭

When I picture a nearly £2m house - this isn't it

Just to rub salt in the wound even further - what does £1.7m get you in your neck of the woods?

Omfg 😭

It is 6 bedrooms so bigger than a average. just in need of a lot of work!

For the same price you could have this in West Yorkshire

Enfield is hardly even London!

Surely these prices can't be sustainable?! Can they?? Will there be a sensible correction any time soon or are we stuck with these ridiculous prices for the foreseeable.

I'm gutted I was born in London as all my friends and family are here so chances are I will never leave... but the housing situation makes me want to cry! This isn't even near central London - way out in the suburbs, still a good hour commute into the city 😩

Exactly! It's as far north as you can get!

11 bedrooms! 😲

House in Somerset.

It's a big 6 bed, 3 bath house with a garden in a fairly desirable area. To be honest, I'm not that shocked at the price. I'm ever so slightly further in to London and for a house that big in a better condition you're looking at far, far more than £1.7m.

Nothing in that price range round here. This is on at 1.5 million.

That is probably structurally sound but not really London you could do better closer to London try Finchley.

About the same size but at least you don't have to do a full reno job

It’s amazing they can keep going up isn’t it.

You are looking at £1m for a two-bed cottage round here now.

A 4/5 bed terraced house will be from about £1.9m.

Totally unremarkable houses.

Quite depressing really knowing how completely unattainable what was in recent memory an ordinary family home is.

Crikey, it's a reasonable sized house but needs a lot of work.

Here's one in Glasgow for just over £1.7

Gosh, that needs a little bit of TLC doesn't it? 😆

I just searched, and the only property that came up was a 1.9m dairy farm with 110 acres. 230 sq m house with four bedrooms. Doesn't say if the cows are included...

OOIEO 1.6m

The next one in Oldham is 1.25M but much more remote but with more outbuildings and 11 acres

To be fair I think it is probably better value than this near me which is in better nick but much smaller in terms of plot and house size:

edit: just checked the floor plans actually mine is 10 sqm bigger - must be a very inefficient layout!

This is what you can get near me.

@MiddleagedBeachbum Wow! That's really nice compared to what you can get in the place that we just moved out of:

The description for this is the most annoying I've ever read. I would almost make a point of not buying it because of it (not that I could ever afford it🤦🏻‍♀️)

Highest priced around here, a little more than £2 million but it's lovely

Where I live you would get a similar house but fully refurbished for that money.
