[Anyone know what the time lag is between filming and airing these

I thought the same when they said they'd paid £35K for that property
in Lincs. I'm currently looking for properties in Lincs and you've got
to pay around £135K for a detached 2-bed bungalow. Even a terraced
property seems to be a lot more than £35K! Mind you, that property was
in a bit of a state, wasn't it?

That one was done over a winter, I'd assume 03-04 but the prices would seem
to indicate a year or 2 further back. Must make a note of passing number
plates in the next one to judge the age.

Not sure I know which programme you refer to. I was thinking of the ones
recently repeated on BBC2 with the horsey-looking blonde presenter(*). They
may have concentrated entirely on country properties, not sure. But the
prices for some seemed extremely reasonable which made me think we were in
some time warp.

(*) Not even on the same playing field as the delightful Melissa Porter.
With her as a relocation agent, I'd soon be bankrupt, moving every 3 months
or so...
