New research suggests that people pay extra to live in a nice location!!!!

Any one got any other "Research" they need to share with the world.

I can't believe that.

I want one of those research jobs, I could do that. One that I have found recently is that rich people have more money than poor people.

They spent our licence fee figuring that one out?

How about this nugget of wisdom------If nothing changes, things will stay the same.

I think the Research was done by the National Housing Federation, not the BBC

In other startling news, people on the internet often don't properly read links...

In other startling news, someone was reading on a phone and couldn't scroll down to read the article because the pictures were taking an age to load.

Clearly then, someone at the NHF has too much time on their hands.

The interesting bit for me was that prices were higher in National Park than just outside. Now, Assuming 'just outside' means within a mile or two of the boundary, I'm guessing a lot of the cheaper properties still have lovely surroundings. And I don't know, but can there be more planning restrictions etc inside a park? So the real 'not news' is that some people are paying far more than they need to for something that may not be hugely better that they may then be restricted to if they want to extend etc.

Basically, people are stupid. That's not news either!

That's how it works round here. Gosforth is very overpriced for what it is, but sits just on the inside of the Lake District NP. THe prices in Keswick were ridiculous when I looked at a few the other day. Smaller houses than mine in reasonably urban parts of the town were more than double the price I paid for mine 18 months ago and I'm within 2-3 miles of the NP.
