There does seem to be a massive price difference across the country, but is there much of a price range within each town. ? Many years ago, perhaps 25, I was struggling to get £1.50 on a former council estate but 3 miles away I could get £3 without a murmer ( what price would they have baulked at, I wonder?). The thing is, they had no more windows but they had more disposable income. On the other hand you can get houses with a lot more windows but the owners don't neccesarily have a corresponding amount of extra cash.
