Sorry I've gone over budget but its a stunner that's been up for sale for 3 years. Fuck-knows what it used to be, probably had chickens in it. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/12469529

You have no idea mate! 20 years outside the UK, and I can promise you the really big money exists outside the UK. Sure inequality is huge in Asia and some people still work for peanuts (relative

Weird layout. It’s as if it’s been added to incrementally. 

Yes. And it has zero curb appeal (hence no front shot). But it is a great location, and more importantly likely to stay there.

If over budget is allowed I'll put up this £1.4m inner terrace, would be nice for someone who likes to be near the tourists @One percent

Pokey kitchen and then you have the football changing room for some reason. Then the wankpanzers parked where your front garden should be.  I bet the neighbours are insufferable white settlers too.

I'd better do one within budget. £895k for a 3 bed 2 bath flat in a block of 14.

Talk about delusional, this has been reduced from near a million.  The epitome of white settler bait

The heating bills will be a little on the high side...

I run past that house on a regular basis and will be doing so in about an hour - on a sunny day it looks lovely, but on a cold wet winter day I imagine that the heating bill would be enough to frighten me into an early grave.

The woman who lives their spends a lot of time in Australia over our winter, and her husband seems to spend most of the summer cutting the grass.

It has a small lake, several fields and a decent sized wood, it's a fantastic looking place but you would need very deep pockets to live comfortably in it.

Reminded me of a scene from a Bourne film, where in their HQ they scramble everybody because they have picked up where he is going to be. Keep a look out today. They will be pretending to be workmen etc.

Is this thread only for houses in the UK?

I live in Taiwan and the housing bubble is insane over here. This is just with a quick search in the city I live in (not Taipei).
Not quite a million pounds... 930,000 pounds...
Again, I didn't even look for a specifically bad one.

somewhat different in HK - most Hkers cannot leave, land for building is tightly controlled so prices have been forced up, mainland chinese used it for decades to get money out of the mainland, etc etc.  

Getting 1 30 year mortgage for a million quid is a rational choice for many Hkers; crazxy for us to see, I know, but it's a very strange economic position for humans to be born into.

What is even stranger is how 50% of people live in government flats, and these are integrated into private estates. So much so that the newest ones can be barely differentiated from the million dollar properties. So someone may live is a government flat for free, with sea view, and someone may live in a flat 100 ft away, maybe 20% bigger, facing a wall for a million quid. complete nuts.

The waiting list is long, but with tight immigration law and a commitment to house the population, it works

Jeez….thats an eye opener for me. 

I think many westerners would assume that houses in the third world are £2000 to buy and everyone lives on one bowl of rice. I appreciate this isn’t third world but many would assume any east of Ukraine is just shanty towns and buckets for toilets  

Much of the East has quietly improved and their middle classes are growing…..we won’t be able to get our consumables made in factories @ 10p an hour for much longer.

Labour, energy and commods have been almost free for decades and we squandered that (nod to @Cattle Prod) and the globe is changing.

but the Hker's are money focused.  Having a property, especially when prices are rising, means that even with a mortgage you have an asset you can borrow against for investments, business setup, etc.  The public housing neighbour can't do that.

It's fucked up, but I don't blame any Hker for going balls in.
