Probably some inner city studio dive where the lifts are rank, the stairwells full of junkies and it's not perceived to be safe to go out at night. Or is that on your list of 'not proper property' either?
I really don't understand where you are coming from when you say not ex-council. Why on earth do you consider that not proper property? They've stood far longer than any new build is likely too, a lot have lovely sized gardens and with the space between properties you could sell it to a New build company and they'd manage to fit in a terrace of townhouses.0 -
I think jenner meant which area of the UK has the cheapest average house price???
Somewhere up north?? I remember some of the pit villages around Durham being really cheap.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

Is it? Never heard of anyone having any problem where I live. You'd think they'd be easier to mortgage as they're far superior build quality than many (most?) new builds.
Lochgelly used to be the cheapest place in the UK - don't know if it still is. Why do you want to know?0 -
:T I think down here in Wales you could pick up a few bargains.
Prices tend to be lower up in the valleys.
I'm not sure why cos the people are friendly and some of the views of the Rhigos mountains, for example, or the Afan Valley, are beautiful.
I suppose being stuck up in a valley will be difficult when we run out of fuel.0 -

Why? Running out of fuel means that I won't have to go to work! So long as there are deer bounding round the hills and I've got veggies in the garden, I'll be ok!:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls
