We sold out BTL's in Dreadhill; one a 2 bed bungalow, the other a 3 bed detached, and totaled 740k. In Redhill, a dire place. Our own home, in Reigate, went for £790, and that was a moderate 4 bed detached.

    I am, of course, assuming he's telling the truth...
    Reigate is the place to be if you're bringing up a family these days. Good children's play park complete with pirate ship. Still I'd rather Munich, it has the edge.

    £500K today is £1M tomorrow with crazy Osbourne stoking a housing boom.

    Doh. Skis obviously. Spent far too much renting the buggers.
