England Real Estate - Just for Fun

[Steve]

Ever wonder what type of house the Dursleys might live in, or just
wonder about the real estate prices in England.

Just for fun I searched a couple of website for UK real estate
concentrating on Surrey, although I search a few other areas like
Fullham that I was interested in.

My search was for 3 to 4 bedroom detached houses between 100,000 and
1,000,000 Pounds, or about $160,000 to $1,600,000.

Some of them were unbelievable. What I would consider a tiny cottage,
they considered a 500,000 BPound house.

Interestingly, I did find one Middlesex home that considered a room
8ft by 6ft to be a bedroom. I think here in the USA, we call those
closets.

Anyway, I thought others might have some fun looking, so here are the
mutli-listing sites I was on.

Although, I wouldn't have thought so, you can actually find some
reasonably nice homes in Surrey for 150,000 to 300,000 BPounds (approx
 $240,000 to $480,000). Note: exteriors can be deceiving. I saw houses
that looked like nothing on the outside, that were very nice on the
inside.

Just for fun.
