And that's another problem with the housing market. My father in law lived for years in the same house in the North East of England (Co Durham). He figured his house would be a legacy for his three girls as property prices "were going up everywhere". Not only were they not going up in his town...

We paid lots less than that for one of the crappier smaller ones but you're right because that's exactly the figure the chancy landlord's looking for. And to answer "who lives in a house like this" solicitors. management consultants, plumbers (and yes, from your name I guess you're one but he...
