Aye. Our apartment centre of Munich is 130 sq, I could never afford that space in central London.
Even Switzerland can offer more bang for the buck than London (though less so at the present exchange rate).
I asked about Lodon prices here on CUK circa 2003 and for what I was paying here I was perhaps looking at a cramped 2 bed flat overlooking a railway junction. I think my main bathroom was larger than many double bedrooms in the UK. 103 square meters, with almost as much again on 3 balconies, lift straight into the apartment, and underground garage. Property taxes, heating and leccy were in that price too (obviously the heating and leccy were subject to a year end adjustment, and some years I got a refund). No contest!
A stunning view as well. Rates in London may have been better, but I simply couldn't have found anywhere as nice to live for the same price.
My mum gave me the address of her brother in Lubeck, so I checked it out on Google Maps. Wow, what a monster house with a monster garden containing monster structures in what looks like a nice area. To buy that in England, if possible at all, would cost £millions I guess. No wonder Germans look happy. They aren't squashed into bedsits like here.
