I live in the midlands (ish) (65mins train ride away from London St Pancras) in a nice town. The other day the house across the road went up for sale and it was only up 1 week before it sold. I was shocked at the price it went for £325k. (4 bed detached with garage but not massive) The house next door is bigger and sold for £290k in July 2014 so in 8months houses around here have shot up.
A bigger 4 bed with a double garage last year would have sold for £320k now theres 2 on the market round the corner for £430k.
Redrow are building houses down the road and a 4 bed house is £450k. You can buy a 2 bedroom flat in a block, right across from the station for £325k (why?..I don't know)
So even though houses are rising so much and you can get to London in an hour I'm still charging £3.50ph and can't really see any option to raise them. Childminders charge between £3 and £4 (the ones charging £3 are seriously under doing it and the ones at £4 offer cooked food which I don't want to do)
Grrr.. :censored:
