LMAO, OP house prices are largely based on where the house is, not what the house looks like.

2 bedroom flat middle of london in nice area = millions
2 bedroom flat middle of newcastle in nice area = less than 50 thousand.

Both are cities, one's a shit hole (sorry, I just came back from newcastle....my god!)

Where did I say it was about image? I didn't; I gave the estate agent links ffs. Don't try to play down my OP by misreading it please.

Why is Newcastle bad? Where did you go? The Sandyford and Jesmond areas are fine. Also you are forgetting that for a 2 bedroom flat in London you could get a luxury 20th floor apartment on the coast of Miami.....Now why on earth would anyone want a tiny apartment in a wet, depressing city over a sun-kissed city?

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't having a go mate :)

I just thought you weren't aware it's "location, location, location", there's a even a tv show by that name as I'm sure you know :)

Oh yeah I know it's location, but I'm thinking trans-atlantic at the same time:

VS 

 

Man Newcastle seems to have fallen - I was there post recession and it sounds a far cry from what you describe =
