Having lived in Canada for the past 30+ years I can never undersand the UK housing market.

I sold the family home in 1968 and got 600 pounds for it, It is now worth 70K+. It was a leasehold 2 up 2 down mid terraced house with outside toilet and no bathroom and I'm sure that improvements have been made to it but 70K or more is still a lot.

In comparison I have a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached house in Canada with an attached Granny Flat, double garage with loft, 2 double driveways and nice front and rear lawn.

THere's big difference
