The benchmark price for here australia will be $370.000 and a uk price of £210.000, no higher please. Anything you can find really - BUT IT MUST BE LOCAL TO YOUR CURRENT LOCATION within 30km or 16 miles. But then surely we should say within an hour of the large cities.

No because road conditions differ in different areas both in Australia and the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice places though. You would need an army of staff to help run one of those large houses and surrounding land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieMum Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm on the outskirts of Geelong less than an hour from Melbourne. For that price around here, at least one and probably multiple of these factors are going to be playing into the price: old but needs work, new but low-quality build, limited number and/or small rooms, small land size, part of a unit/townhouse development (though may be freestanding), in a "lifestyle"/retirement village , or in a lower socioeconomic suburb (eg, Corio and Norlane have their good pockets and their less desirable ones). These first two are less than two miles from me. The asking price was $360K to $390K but no data yet on the final sale price. The carpet would have to go! https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-lara-127594170 This one is renovated but small with a courtyard as it looks like they've taken their old quarter-acre block and subdivided the backyard into a second house block that's ready to be built on. https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-lara-127708630 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
