Yes, absolutely. Conversely you could buy a semi detached in Gorton for £100,000. Massive price swings depending on area.

Didsbury apparently varies greatly even between East and West Didsbury and also even a particular street can cost significantly more than one next to it for a seemingly similar house.

Theres a semi for sale in Didsbury at the minute asking for "offers over £1 million"

Seems nuts to me, but puts prices in Northern Ireland in perspective i guess - wages here arent that much higher either. Maybe 25% tops in the areas i'm engaging with.

Yes, its not like they have a vested interest in drumming up sales / prices increasing or anything.

So Manchester is like Belfast then. A semi about that size up from me "sold" for 750k a few weeks back. Belfast has equally mental areas. Bubblicious.
