However I suppose that compared to present day prices in real terms it
would work out at 'well over' £1000 now, when you consider that my brand
new house back in 1967 costs under £4000, and the last time I bothered
to check, about a year ago, it was worth over £200,000 it certainly
makes one think, although the way things have been rapidly panning out
over the last few months I suspect that before long will soon be back
down to £4000 pounds again!
Might as well, a used house
*is* a used house. They don't last forever.
