Marlow, Bucks, £318,330, 163.0% People like me n Lee have absolutely NO chance of getting onto the housing ladder, worse story was this bloke who was left some money £80,000 and was on bout £16,000 a year in his job at the council on the outskirts of London but in Surrey, still couldn`t afford the average house of £200,000 cos the bank would only offer him about £60,000 as a mortgage, bloody ridiculous aint it???

McRic Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 tell you what the prices down there r mad, my sister lives in Southampton and just paid 130k for a 2 bedroom terraced house. We checked what she would have got up here and it was something like this ! living room, dining room, 5 bedrooms 2 with en suite, bathroom, w.c, breakfasting kitchen, garage, along with open views over the River Forth. Prices in England are a rip off we found this in Dalgety Bay which is a very sought after area about here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
