    That's unusual. How come?

    Because they are unaffordable?
    The area clearly needs a government-funded shared equity scheme.

    Maybe it had some really nice laminate or something, innit?

    Or a nice bit of marble.

    In the first letter & number of my postcode (eg b57 or cv67 etc) only 2 houses have been sold this year.

    Okay, but I just wondered how come since 2006? Perhaps a really nice area that people don't tend to move from?

    I don't see why that would necessarily be the case. There are plenty of seemingly 'unaffordable' areas that have seen transactions over the last four years, and conversely plenty of cheaper areas that have seen no transactions of late.

    I was born & bred rural Cleaver.

    Lived & worked in 2 cities before moving back to the countryside.

    Where I am now people tend to stay or move to another village more expensive nearby.

    All I need is a couple of hundred thousand & we will chip in & !!!!!! off down to the West Country, sit on a beach & work 20 hrs a week for the rest of my life doing something that I enjoy... Sorted..

    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I've geeked out and done a graph of average sale prices of houses down our road from 2000 to 2009. I've done it because I love you guys and also have no life whatsoever.

    Interested know how many houses sold per year as well.
