What does 1/2 million buy you where you live?

In Milford On Sea in Hampshire, this: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Or this: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Which is why I'm moving to Ringwood, where for less money you could buy this: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Saw something similar to that second one there in Kew the other day for £1.6million

house is a bit odd and decor very questionable.

Quirky 5 bed bungalow for £430k in Birstall (yeah, where Jo Cox was murdered). That's the most expensive house at the moment in the area

This needs a lot of work but it's in a fantastic location:

What an utterly bizarre house and layout and the pool squeezed into a small room when there appears to be plenty of space around the house to move it outward. I don't dislike the place but just very strange.

I reckon I could make that mine.
Worth £400k of anyones money.

In Farnborough, £500k gets you in to 4 beds and detached.

If however you've only got £350k, the choices are really, really ste.

This looks rather average compared to the last few, just a few roads from me:

Using Rightmove as the yardstick, in Cambridge £500k doesn't get you much. £550k buys you a 2 bed apartment on the outskirts; £575k a victorian terrace about 20 minutes' walk from the centre.

As I keep telling my old man when he badgers me to move on the basis "you must have done very well on your house": "if I sell my house I can afford to buy...my house".

It's a bit depressing.

You cannot buy a 2 bed in Cambridge for under half a million? I haven't looked but that sounds quite tough to believe.

[andym1603]

This is the closest to 500k in Inverness. With the "offers over" system it will probably go for a lot more.

I thought that area got a lot more sensible due to oil prices over the past year or two...?
Or is that specifically Aberdeen?

Round the corner from me next to the road out of Ashbourne as such.

Right next to my local thou which is very nice

Love the way the description is of a 2 bed detached house.

Good old estate agents; never let the truth get in the way of a good advert.

[gizlaroc]

I know this is a smidge over, but I reckon this is one of the best value places to come on near me in a very long time...

[Sunnysider]

This is literally a stones throw from me and been listed for ages, so I reckon it could be had for half a mill.

I was amazed to see a house near me,similar to this but mid terrace up for £417.5K.

Banstead ,Surrey.

It's not anything special at all.
