Yeah, they do that by charging people a preposterous amount for doing **** all, not by risking their own money.

A bit like most of us lot really.

And your point is?

You might think so, but their economy is in much better shape than ours, so it's actually more like £200,000 of your debased and worthless pounds.

First raised the possibility of this a few years ago.
Looks like I was right and should have done it since property prices have shot up.
Still nowhere near London prices though, and with war-chest at a massive level now, I'm sorely tempted.
Plus one of best mates used to be an estate agent in Berlin so I have the inside expertise.
Will visit in autumn and ask his opinion.

Buy a castle and estate in East Germany. Then you can live in the manner you obviously want to become accustomed to.
