Quote from rightmove... Aberdeen, with an overall average price of £207,494 was more expensive than nearby Sheddocksley (£136,747), Rosemount (£125,749) and Hilton (£184,425). The majority of sales in Birmingham during the last year were terraced properties, selling for an average price of £129,515. Semi-detached properties sold for an average of £162,297, with flats fetching £115,220. Last year most property sales in Poole involved detached properties which sold for on average £425,286. Flats sold for an average price of £233,579, while semi-detached properties fetched £232,240. You lot don't know how lucky you are ;)
