If Only

Those houses look lovely, but they're all awfully big. Were most families surviving with just a daily to "do the rough", or worse, with just the lady of the house to do it all?
 
Wow, I just cannot get over that house in Tottenham Court road, it looks like a country mansion, unlike the tacky discounted electrical and vape shops which adorn it today.
 
My dad paid £500. a house he later sold for £200,000
In the mid 1990s we bought a house for £27,000 a few years ago next door sold their house, same as ours for £280,000 and I've seen some near here get over £300,000. It's mind blowing.
 
I bought my first house for £52,000 and sold it 5 years later for £125,000. But you usually have to buy and sell in the same market so unless I wanted to move into the All Mod Conned caravan the values were inconsequential…..
 
The first house we brought in Welwyn garden City in the 80's was £34,000 it sold last year for £390,000 crazy money for a 3 bed terraced home

My dad's was a 3 bed terrace, the 3 beds are very popular. Our bathroom was built on end of the house. Took me years to stop walking through the kitchen to look for the bath!

Once you've paid your mortgage off you're in a position to buy a caravan near, in or on the sea!
