Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, is most certainly not in Northern England. Anyone who suggests so probably has suspect knowledge.
However you both have points. But I expect that the houses you’re looking at on rightmove are not affordable, new builds, which typically are not clustered around the kinds of places you used as examples.
And a lot of USA houses are built so very cheaply. You don’t get many thatched houses stateside, right?
Not to say that English new-builds in the last 20 years are stellar examples of construction, but you do generally get a lot more house for your money.
- dagw 4y agoAnd a lot of USA houses are built so very cheaply. Hopefully things have substantially improved since I last lived in the UK 20 years ago, but all the places I've lived in the UK where pretty bad. Single pane windows that rattle in the frame when it's windy, drafts from everywhere, damp everywhere, people arguing that a bit of mold in the bathroom is normal, no insulation, 150 years old houses with 120 year old plumbing, no central heating...and no one seemed to see any of this as a problem
