Go on then, sod off

The spiders and snakes are limited to certain areas from what i understand.

Only where the sharks and crocs eat them

£100,000 buys you this in France.

We had a look in a few estate agent windows when we were in France. You certainly get a lot more value for money over there.

[StMarks]

Looks to me like you get pretty good value over in Liverpool too.!

The one thing that puts me off NZ and Aus is that is a fecking long way to anywhere else and i do like to travel.

Well..if it's a long way from anything, and you like to travel, isn't that the perfect place for you??

[duke63]

Not if you are stuck there.

Travel will get more expensive over the coming decades anyway unless some one comes up with a teleportatng machine.

[D41]

Yeah, but you'd look like a total hillbilly if you beamed-down somewhere carrying a suitcase.

That house would he close to double that round here

[Cav]

That house would be about double around here as that's probably a semi 3-bed... mine's an end terrace 3 bed worth £200k, in a rough area you can get a 3 bed semi for about £170k

UK house prices are ridiculous

UK house prices are ridiculous

I couldn't agree more. I feel sorry for anyone trying to get on the property ladder these days.

NZ is a great temperature in summer, but cold in winter, for me, probably lovely for you guys. No bitey stuff there.

Aussie can get a bit nuclear in summer but you adjust. Lots of bitey stuff but I’m in the bush a lot and in 19 yrs I’ve encountered 4 snakes (one on my door step) and none have caused me grief.

As for travel, Indo and pacific Islands are close and cheap, but I do have massive jealously of your guys European access. That’s like a once in a lifetime trip for us.

This is about 3 miles from me and not in a most desirable area either

[D41]

I'd feel too exposed using that bog.
It's stuck out there in the middle of nowhere.

And then someone comes in to take a shower....what would you do? Wipe right in front of them??

[Kwacky]

It's had a lot of work done to it and the garden looks long. But otherwise it's not got much more going for it. There's no garage or parking I can see.

More than a £200k increase in price since 2013. Jeez.

[bb41]

No parking anywhere nearby either.. . The garden looks long but the camera is deceiving slightly .

All of that area is permit parking only and the costs per year are pretty high too

I know I've improved my home but our house value has increased more than £20k in 2 years where other properties have only increased about 5k

[Kwacky]

The listings says that the garden is 150 ft long. Loads of room to extend the house into

[D41]

The kitchen is the strongest selling point on a house. Then bathrooms.
A decent front garden helps. Back garden is generally irrelevant because everyone changes them anyway.

[Cav]

Something overlooked until it stares you in the face are the windows and doors too.

Bathroom
