at the top average property UK got to almost £300K,
moving home with Charlie who seems to the expert all the radio shows have on say’s property is falling £1000 per week around £52K per year.
it seems he is right if average property price falls to about £250K a year after the top-1 -
The gap between house and garden was a track - still marked on maps but appears to have been taken over. Views not turning into offers might be because viewers have learnt that they wouldn't own a big wodge of garden - and others may have a right of way along it.0

What's bad? It's too expensive. One could get a better, if smaller, house in the beautiful South for equivalent money. The decoration is to my taste, which will mean everyone else will hate it and immediately want to rip everything out.
But that's not even the half of it. Stairs! Stairs everywhere leading to more stairs. Having to lug a vacuum cleaner up four flights of the things just to hoover the floor in the top bedroom. Hellish. Even Miss Casey Treadryze-Stairman, head of the British Council of Stair Fetishists (affiliated with the UK Step and Ramp Fanciers Society) described the house as 'a bit much'.
It's got a garage! Great, but where? Behind the neighbour's house and up his drive, apparently. Parking divorced from the residence itself is never good. Parking shared with someone else up a lane muddy enough to ruin one's shoes is categorically bad. The garage is unlikely to have power and light, too.
We've done the track.
What's good? It's a nice building to look at, and the view! The view of rugged, roughly grassed hills criss-crossed by pylons is enough to make any true Englishman/woman look to the pewter plate sky, listen to the crackling thrum of a thousand drizzle dampened pylon insulators and cry: 'shall we go t'pub? They've got t'fire!'
Bad outweighs good here, unfortunately.9 -

I was actually out walking yesterday and went under some big pylons and realised I could hear the crackle. I wonder if it can be heard there to......

Possibly, not sure it would put people off if the price was right though?0
