I think that you Americans have to remember that houses built in Europe are real houses, while your houses are built from toothpicks. Also these prices are just sick and I find it hard to believe them. My parents often watch HouseTV which has many shows from UK and when they show the houses and prices they look really very good and are affordable or at least worth the price.

Belief has nothing to do with it...they're from estate agent sites and you can see that for yourself. 

Some people put some crazy prices there, but that doesn't mean that that's what the market looks like. I seriously doubt that what was shown in the OP is the reality in the UK. That surely isn't what the estate agents show in the tv.
