Check the Prices in Your Area

Did you know that not only can http://rightmove.co.uk hunt down all the prices of current houses for sale in your area, it will also give you the prices that houses have gone for for the last 7 years? I didn’t, but tonight I enjoyed checking out the fact that someone bought a house in my road for £40k in January (but I think either this is a typo, or the place is a hole!) and in 2001 I could have got one for £10k. If only I’d taken Mum and Dad on that offer of a property back in my first year of Uni, I’d have made an absolute bundle.
