Looking at selling me house in the UK

[scooterscot]

managing it this far afield is beginning to erode my sanity.

Latterly I'm also considering buying something out here in Munich, which is expensive but not London expensive.

So I started looking at house prices in the UK. My goodness.

How does anyone afford to buy a house there? Have salaries gone shooting up in my absence? They seem massively overpriced.

I'm pleased I can possibly get what I could get for my place but nonetheless it's not a patch on what I could get out here for the same money, which has a certain quality of life attached to it.

Salaries have gone down if anything. Just how people are managing to buy is beyond me. Some have over stretched so much, a little increase in interest rate will tip them over. It is mind boggling what a flat costs in London. Unless you spent half a million and above in Surrey its just not worth it.

Even contracts rates have been fairly static since the dotcom boom, as for houses anything south of the Watford gap is over priced, anything north is either a tulip hole or a nice place but there's no jobs there

Still renting in Munich. I reckon I'll have spent €200k on rent if I'm here another 4 years.
