Location, location location - HOW MUCH?

[Ubik1]

jeezo
This is insane.

Young people forking out £££ for tiny conversions.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

i know was amazed a 3 bed house was think £91k - blondesland thats £250ish

[millimat]

I was amazed at what you could get for 100k tbh. I'd love to know what region of Manchester was less money than where thy were in Nottingham area.

[Owllady]

I hate the way the couples on it always think they are the first person in the world ever to have had a babby

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Young couple with £100k budget this week, that's more like it!

[TheHiphopopotamus]

Location, Location, Location and the programmes similar to it (A Place in the Sun etc.) should be renamed, "Look how much money we've got. Take note, everybody"

Haha, I agree! I'll never forget the episode with a couple of first time buyers who didn't go with Phirstie's suggestion and were so smug that they'd found their own place (probably in the centre of London somewhere). They paid £300,000 for a basement flat with a living room that was so small it was basically a TV in a cupboard. But it had two (two!) bedrooms, which could only fit a single bed each in, and a kitchen that was a microwave over a sink.

Up here that would have bought you a detached house in its own grounds.

But where do these young couples get the money from? Do they take out 55 year mortgages

I have just watched Location Location and I'm sure I have seen that house (the 1.5M) one on a mother programme maybe Escape To The Country some time ago. Weird thing is I don't watch many property things, can anyone help or am i going mad???

[mollie123]

you can rub shoulders with the millionaires in this house

[IPityThePontipines]

Back - I noticed that! Many people work considerably harder than a pair of City workers and they'll still never, ever have £1.5mil to spend on a house.

[BackforGood]

Having now watched this episode, it was really grating on me how they kept going on about how this was "a hard working couple" - like somehow people who haven't got that sort of budget obviously aren't hard working

[Blondeshavemorefun]

But were a lovely couple

Ps if you are reading this and once have children and need a nanny then message me

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Was a beautiful house but funny how they accepted neighbours as in the other 4 houses

Also weird only 4/5 own the woods

Was trying to work out where it was - I think it was turn at the church and down that road somewhere

Some amazing houses there worked in one as a nanny

[annandale]

Might have been a private sale?

The hilarious moment was when they tried to make the Plaxtol house sound like a 'project'. Oh yes, it's an absolute wreck. Because you fancy a different colour on the walls.

[228agreenend]

Disclaimer - I don't have £1.5 million to spend on a house, or anything else for that matter.

[228agreenend]

Bi looked for the Plaxtol sale also and couldn't find it. I wonder if it was too recent to show on the housing sites. I loved the Plactol house and wanted it for myself < stamps feet>

[Vixxfacee]

I love this show but it annoys me. I see people of my age (I never know exactly how they got a 'whopping deposit' or what job they do. They rent somewhere but somehow can buy a house for £350,000 -£1500000!

[SheHasAWildHeart]

They said on the show that the sale price was "confidential" all very odd.

[mollie123]

I know it is a bit obsessive but I tried to find sales results for the plaxtol house - doesn't appear in recent sales so I wonder if it fell through.
It seemed a lot of money for a house among other houses and with only a 'share' of the 8 acres plus woodland. Doubt the other 'sharees' would agree to 'glamping' on any part of it.

[BackforGood]

Never used to be millimat. They used to help people for all sorts of reasons, from people just being nervous to buy their first property, to couples who couldn't agree, or for people who were moving area and weren't confident about the best buys in the area.

[228agreenend]

This week was local to me also. It's always fun to play 'Guess where the house is' and 'spot the familiar landscape'.

[millimat]

But surely the point of LLL is that outs to help people who are struggling to find that certain house, typically because they're in places where houses are high in demand. High in demandb= high prices?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Lovely houses in PLAXTOL - plus fab butcher with lamb/mint sausages

'blonde drools'

Havnt got to that house yet .......

[annandale]

Woah wideboy, I grew up near plaxtol too will have to watch it now.

Not many pubs left, the rorty crankle is long gone. The Golding hop is for sale on rightmove as a going concern though. Hold on, were they featuring it on LLL?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

loving this weeks - local to me

i eat in the white rabbit lots :)

£200k will buy a 2/3 bedroom in that area and other couple for 1/5million i would expect and want more then 3 bedrooms

[BackforGood]

Yes Trills that is a small factor, but mainly they used to film all over the UK. Now they seem to only film in London.
Outside of London, there are lots, and lots of places you can buy property even if you don't have £400K ++ to spend.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Yes houses now cost more but the houses on LLL are always way above the national average.
