i've mates in cardiff, bude (cornwall), southampton & oldham and the
prices they paid aren't THAT bad but still steep. the taxes here are f
ing outrageous. cheers.


Cardiff is in Wales and is quite a cheap place to live to be honest. and
Bude is a holiday resort and oldham is a bit like your bronx ;o)
Not sure about Southampton i think its somewhere inbetween. I lived near
Swansea a few years back and that was just up the road from Cardiff. The
house we bought there was massive in comparison to a lot of UK houses, it
had a huge garden and a garage at the top that more resembled a bungalow,
with hot and cold running water and inspection pit. It was half the price of
houses in Birmingham UK as there arent many skilled jobs there.
I know of course it depends where you buy to the prices.... The image also
is Americans all live in big houses with well paid jobs and have huge
gardens and gas guzzling flash motors whereas we all live in a little house
and catch the bus and its always raining
I blame Hollywood for that ;o)

pretty close to the hollywood idea graham. except for the well paid jobs
that is.
