The message
from "." contains these words:

Sounds like a lot of swanky houses - all about showing off rather than
being useable and nice to live in.


LOL show us some photos of your house, go on.


It's a 70s council terrace - nothing to write home about. It's the
cost/benefit that gets me - this place cost 28k five years ago and has
proved to be adequate for bringing up two kids and so on. For twenty
times the price you don't get anything approaching twenty times the
utility.


That's very true.

This house cost £2,400 in 1964. They're now selling for £160,000 +.

So what?
