  The average house in the US costs just under $400K, which is £295K. So they are basically the same price.

    I only wish that was the case in my area. The average price for a house in my state is $660,000.

      Same for here too though. You won’t find many £300K houses in and around London

  Yeah but then you have to deal with the stupidity of the UK government. Which is currently trying to out perform Florida for dumbest politician of the year.

  The race is close!

  If you live in a “less desirable area” you can still get a house for less than £100,000 in some places in the UK. You might find yourself with limited job opportunities or a long commute, or poor local facilities though.
