Included in the sale is the Lordship of Sampford Spiney and 202 acres of common land.
You'd probably get a country estate, complete with a title, and staff of serfs in bonded slavery

When living in town, there was a new tower being built over the moat that had studio flats going for just under a million.

@zippykona, it looks like everyone else thinks that listing is a joke too - been listed since November; maybe people are waiting for them to drop it to a sensible price

Looks a bit manky from the outside, but it's a 6 bed detatched house which looks to be nicely finished, in prime commuterville, doesn't seem too bad.

Strangely enough I was watching the Good Life (filmed in the mid to late 70's) just before I came on here and Tom had just been to see the bank manager with a proposal that the bank would give him £2000 per annum once he retired and the bank could keep the house once the Goods died.
Bank manager pointed out that the bank would be putting out £80,000 against their detached house, in Surbiton like the one above, with a value of perhaps £27,000 that may increase over the 20-30 years to £40,000.
I think property values may have risen a little more than expected since then.
Also, in the series Jerry Ledbetter has a house of similar value (£27,000) but a salary package of '£18,000, an expense account and a car' stated in one episode. Now I know it's not real but I assume the figures stated were somewhere near reality at the time, again showing the growing disparity between house prices and pay.
You can have my house for £1million, I'll even throw in my van
You could go on holiday with the change - for years.

Nothing quite stretches to a million in my area - the really,really nice houses are half that, the stuff that nudges close to £1m are really working land with a house - however if you can stretch to 1.1million then a '53 bedroom property' is available, but it is if fact a portfolio of 22 tenanted homes being sold as one lot.

4 beds. No real land to speak of. The North.
I think this thread has finally brought home to me the reality of the North-South divide.
The economic factors that control house prices are just so marked.
wwasawas: did you see the other thread on what we can buy up here for 100K?
