General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Only £300,000?

Shit, I should move to the UK.

Yeah but then you have to deal with the stupidity of the UK government. Which is currently trying to out perform Florida for dumbest politician of the year.

The race is close!

are houses normally around £500,000 in california?

[–] WALLACE@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The average house in the US costs just under $400K, which is £295K. So they are basically the same price.

I only wish that was the case in my area. The average price for a house in my state is $660,000.

[–] WALLACE@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Same for here too though. You won't find many £300K houses in and around London

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Fair point! Grass is always greener, I suppose.

If you live in a "less desirable area" you can still get a house for less than £100,000 in some places in the UK. You might find yourself with limited job opportunities or a long commute, or poor local facilities though.

Yep, bought for £230k in a town in the south coast.
