houses in N Staffordshire cost a fraction of the price of houses in Surrey. A

Makes one wonder why there isn't a mass migration to leafy N Staffordshire :-)







You're telling me.



I've just moved (within the same town) to a small 3-bedroom detached bungalow for ?400,000.



You tell me why I don't move to Staffs - or, more especially, Spain! :-))







Zuid Holland isn't any cheaper than that.







For some reason I thought you lived in Harwich.

Nah - deepest Surrey. Apparently the most expensive for property in the UK except for central London. :-(



I guess Surreyman was a clue :-)



The bungalow is cheap by Zuid Holland standards. There's a property boom here

prices have reached 2003 level. Some years ago the Dutch government killed the

housing market by making mortgage payments not tax deductible.

Just realised I don't know where you are, either (& I don't mean Zuid Holland!)?
Are you Brit or Dutchish?
