    That's not how I remember Preston. If this is the result of global warming, I'm willing to put up with the loss of a bit of the coast.

    It certainly throws British property prices into sharp relief.

    Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.

    Hmm the pool is a drawback, but not sure it's pokey.

    I mean this maisonette in Islington costs £97,000 as well and it's 350 sq ft smaller.

    Edit: the flat in Islington actually costs £975,000. Silly me. Not overpriced at all.

    Similarly priced to er ten of those is this 1-bed flat: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-10327647.rsp?pa_n=2&tr_t=buy

    It's amazing. Most countries manage to find a way to house their people at a price that isn't utterly crippling. Not the UK though apparently...
