Perthbum Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 If you live in Australia you will pay whatever the price is FACT Different states different prices FACT If you live in UK you will pay whatever the price is FACT If you live in London you'll pay the price for doing so Same for any other town or city Wherever you live you will pay that price Research what you can afford wherever that may be Noone tells you to live in a place you can't afford so don't do it We will all have our own thoughts on what and why a place is best for them but it won't suit all Live happily ever after because you chose where you wanted to live Rubbish, no one pays the asking price in cars in the UK, you always can save a lot of money with a lot of goods with haggling.

paul1977 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Any discussion which refers to house price comparisons is always flawed. We are moving from Surrey to QLD. Can't tell you what the averages are for both but our very average 3 bed 1930s pebble-dash semi-detached house has sold for £423,000 ($846,000). We will be able to buy a much better property and still have plenty left over so UK/Oz generalisations/comparisons on properties are meaningless. the thing is your saying your get more for your money in Queensland... you will but then your moving from the southeast where property is high to somewhere where property will generally be cheaper, you try buying something in Sydney for your money and see what you get, how much of a bigger property would you get and took your 423 grand up north...? a large period home i would guess . you can only compare house prices from London and the southeast to Melbourne and Sydney, the only 2 true cities in australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1977 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sold our house in the outskirts of Bristol for £163,000 built here outskirts of Perth for $306,000 Mandurah...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelensvaleHoward Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 one problem. it is over twice as costly in Oz for almost everything When were you here last to get those facts? I live it every day like you live the UK every day So don't try and tell me about Australian prices and I won't tell you about UK prices Rubbish, no one pays the asking price in cars in the UK, you always can save a lot of money with a lot of goods with haggling. Haggling is not confined to the UK You can do the same in Australia My point was if your in London in the UK you buy from their If in Brisbane Australia guess what you buy from their Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should have done some travelling on your time away from site, May have made you less depressed. my point being somebody with London and the southeast money will buy a bigger property in Australia unless they move to Sydney or Melbourne, like i said take your money up north and see what you get. They are the only cities you could put in a bracket with london Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Different Country Paul had you not noticed? Lots more space! But according to Auspost and Deliveries etc we are part of Perth. Personally I'm happier being part of Mandurah as I'm not a big city person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzukiscottie Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Just googled Mandurah, looks a lovely place. Yeah! Just googled "Mandurah breakfasts" and there are heaps of nice places listing average prices from under $10 to $25! Great value!

But legally and technically we are the outskirts of Perth Metro, so not misleading at all. 45 Minutes Drive, how far do you get driving 45 minutes out of London?
