Everywhere'd be a nice place to live if only there weren't criminals, violence, neighbours from hell and feral scum.

That's true and it's not just feral scum that are the trouble.
We lived in Virginia Waters for several years and there's a lot of "celebrity" scum about.
Don't just think council estates are a problem,they are'nt.
There's just less room between houses on council estates and the problems are a bit different but you can still have your life made hell in the nicer areas.
We live in Newcastle now and there's good and bad here just as there is everywhere else,it's a nice place though on the whole and we got a beautiful house in a nice area for a fraction of what we sold the one down there for.

Flamin' 'Eck. 5 pages added while I dreamt of VdV scoring a hatrick.

Well it looks like the source could be a good one. I wonder if the £35,000 place is one of those houses that used to sell for a few hundred quid in the late-90s...? Someone might be making a lot of money on it still. I digress though. £4,000 down and £40 plus change in mortgage repayments (not IO) for 25 years at 5%. A road sweeper could do that.

the mantra in here is that 5 bed room houses are too expensive to buy on £22k a per year salary...

Not entirely true.

Perfectly good 5 bed house £89,950

Train station close by taking you into Cardiff (where apparently there are 400 jobs) - and a University round the corner so you could even get a lodger or two easily enough.

you shouldn't have done that Miss Pastures...

it now proves that 'anyone' can buy a 5 bedroom house and house prices are cheap...

clue - look at population distribution / density. most of the high paying careers concentrate geographically in london / se, created historically due to the better climate / farming conditions of the se as well as the geographical location of the thames river.

And there is me thinking that 'historically' most of the best paying jobs were created in the North due to the Industrial revolution, climate, railway and Canal network etc I admit sadly no more
