Does amuse me how people from other parts of the country totally and utterly under-estimate how expensive London can be.

One of the worse value places around me for £500k - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Not just the price but having to live there!

I like this a lot, although the inside is dated, yet for the first time ever I found myself thinking; strip that paint off back to bare wood and stain it, change that flooring, a lick of paint, and I'd need a new ride on mower for that grass.

Very depressing. £500k to live in a bland small 4 bed near Coventry.

So what stops you moving? Huge swathes of the world far nicer than Coventry where your money would go far further.

You could either go for a nice and normal 4 bed with double garage:

Or a 2 bed flat in a stately home:
