When we bought this house it was under 2000. Of course this was 1956. Brian

There was a place near me, a flat for sale £25k one bed, nomally they go for 300k-400k on looking closer it only had a 5 year lease , which explains why it was so much cheaper.

I like the bath in the front garden ...

We don't have leasehold up here.

Just unemployment and stabbings.

I bought my first house in 1970 for £400.

Compared to some rents that could actually be cheaper than renting for 5 years.

I'm sure the 5k price is just clickbait. The more people take part in the auction the more they get for it

That's how a lot of auctions work, excluding dutch auctions of course.

Crikey. And if it still exists today, close to a million?

Mine was 13,500. Bought as a first time buyer when working for the BBC as a sound asssitant. No fire damage but lots of work needed.

That job pays about 35k now and wouldn't buy a garden shed.

Oh, indeed. If you buy in what was built as a nice area, went downhill, then comes up again after you buy, you get the maximum profit.
