It's a 4 bed house but as it's in need of some modernisation the price is cheaper. We were told it would have been on for around £325,000 ($652,000) if it wasn't in need of work. We are north of London... start going south of us and the prices rocket up even more. Everyones circumstances are different. I do know that first time buyers are finding it a real problem to get on the housing ladder.

Pip, you have a
home right? not an Apartment? That bit you quoted from Paula said an Apartment cost $250-500k.......(why would you be talking about being a single parent??)
what are the wages like over there?? just curious, trying to get a feel for your cost of living...
