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.


Dude if you are going to just cry denial find another thread - as I showed the price of one of those houses was the SOLD PRICE. I don't care what you think you see on TV, if you want to debate this go and find prices that prove my OP wrong, k?

Dude, take a chill pill, it's not like I'm hurting you or your family right now... When I find some free time I'm gonna take a look into it and show you what I find. As for now just in a minute I found this house on your web site:

http://www.seymours-estates.co.uk/property/norwich/6-bedroom-detached-house-for-sale-in-norwich/full_details_adv4/467507

I don't know about the location, but it's cheaper than what you found and actually looks really nice. I think I could live in such a house :P And it has a pink pool table! Sold ;)

Yeah it's over 100k away and in a location that makes getting to work a bitch...Unless you work in Norfolk, well, not much you can do from there....

The UK is a troublesome one as location is so important, but more vitally, location in regard to vacinity of London. Finding work 50km North of London is damn hard, let alone 100+ hence why finding somewhere cheap in Manchester or York isn't hard. Ultimately I could rant on about the economy, but I won't :-x
