If you read my post you will realise that the house prices are high in comparison to wages in Australia and NZ..... I was not referring to the UK. All of my recently emigrated friends have found houses Down Under and moved in within a month of buying them.
The housing market is booming in Aus and NZ with prices very high, this reflects their own markets. Most Brits manage to buy with no hassles and do get more for their money than here (generally). However, wages are generally poorer than here for a lot of professions, especially in NZ. I would be taking a massive pay cut in order to move but for many people, money isn't everything....... My mates all moved for lifestyle. They have quality free time with their families, better weather which enables them to do something with their free time rather than freezing their bits off and staying indoors but, they also have less money..
