this sounds like a good idea
I believe, up north, you could even buy six houses, and become a slum landlord.

pfffft
I remember when I moved down to England, I was appalled at the cost of houses.

you know why houses cost more in the south?
because it's that much nicer

House prices are inversely proportional
to relative regional grimness.

or directly proportional
to geographic niceness?

within reason
clearly if things were correct my old one bed flat in Devon would be worth a couple of mil.

Even in towns next to each other prices can be ridiculous.
I wanted to live in Hebden bridge which is next to Tod and the type of house I could get for the same price as the one I live in now would have been a tiny one bedroom terraced.

my mate is buying a place in Bristol
a house like mine but finished rather than a project was slightly less than I paid. If he got the same one in a different area of Bristol it would literally be twice the price.
