I actually quite like this which is only just on the outskirts of the town.

That's nice. House prices here are going mad. This is a tiny terrace house on the main road

Hi it's dry here cloudy with 20c, I've got nothing to do so it could be a long day, can't go for a ride or walk as the back is still not right and still taking pain killers ......stupid Garmin thingy had just told me to "move" but where too

Blimey it's cheap where you two are!
I'm looking at stuff up to 475K.
Sounds like I could buy Welshieshire.
We've put an offer in on one at 435K. Fingers crossed.

We're not planning to move for another couple of years, but I can't stop looking. It's annoying because I keep finding something I really like but knowing that it won't be available when we want it.
I agree with @Dirk re Welshieland, I'm looking at £300k for anything half decent.

Is anyone else here a member of Which? I'm trying to decide if I should continue my membership, it's £153pa which is a lot. The thing that brought it to mind was the last monthly magazine. I found myself irritated by rather simplistic journalism and several articles reporting the blindingly obvious. On the other hand the reviews can be very useful before a major purchase like a phone, white goods or car........but how often do I make those????

I was, and a reviewer on their, many years ago. I stopped both when the reviews, and some of the advice, got downgraded to the obvious.

Maybe the same advice was being given elsewhere, which didn't help. £153pa! postage included in that figure.

Very wet start to the day.....think its in for the full day.
Was in bed early last night and slept well but was awake at 0430.

You could have replied to numbnuts!

That's the cheapest around. Another one is £300.00 for 2 beds right on the road with a garden you need climbing gear to get up.

Can't say I would pay that tbh.

The www has all the information I need to complete major purchases.

Not sure I'd want to live somewhere I can't pronounce
