Why is the British housing market so fucked and why are their houses so shit? I understand that it is a small island, but this is ridiculous.
Probably because it's a tiny island with no space
Same problem in Australia m8
If you think Britain is full you should check this place out

>Girlfriend
She's not your girlfriend if you've never met her, m8.

This and if you have met you're getting cucked hard if it's long distance

I just bought an 1800 sq ft house 10 miles outside of Austin, TX for $200,000.
The real estate market in bongland is wonky, that $/sq ft is ridiculous. If it's her money then who gives a shit though, just don't marry her and it's all good.
>>53655343
>moving to a different country for a woman
Lmao @ you
Good thread.
>>53655937

do you get Google Fiber brah?

wew lad.
>>53655853
I've been with her 10 years. We've lived together for quite a while now.
>>53656065
No, unfortunately :(
>>53656292
Must be a great relationship if you're mature enough to open a thread complaining about her on an anonymous Bahrainian lead smelting forum.
>>53656121
I ran the numbers, those really don't make sense unfortunately.
>>53656013
op never indicated that the picture was the house in question
>>53656013
Why would I post the exact house she is looking at?
>Semi-detached house LIKE pic related
>>53656292
I bet she's sucking Hasib and Haroons dick back in England
Then you'll buy the house live with her and she'll still be sucking Hasib on the side
>>53656379
She's pretty anti-muslim
>>53656344
What about shipping containers? You could be one of hipsters on the block.
>>53655343

pls.
>>53656569
Shipping containers may seem like a good idea, but they are pretty shit in practice.
t. guy who looked into it
>>53656567
That's good m8
I just don't want you getting cucked, be careful
when i watched that show with the guys who are misfit losers they lived in doll houses and stuff
>>53655343
Jesus fucking Christ.
I live in NYC and I own a 3 story house that's separated just outside Manhattan for $500k. That house in your pic is made for ants.
>>53656746
Not too worried about it, honestly. If anything ever happened, I wouldn't stick around and put up with any shit. I'm more worried about how fucking expensive it is to live there and how awful the country itself is.
>>53656629
you would be able to afford a similarly sized condo in downtown vancouver for that much. if you want to live in a detached home, then hongcouver is not the city for you.
British homes don't have basements either, so it is much smaller ebe
>>53656889
>not living in a detached home
Fuck that sounds awful.
this is what 450k gets you in my area
>britbongs complaining about american carboard houses

Why have claps found more reasons to make angry threads about us than I have bacteria in my body? Why are you so perpetually obsessed?
>inb4 denial and 'b-but you post about us too'
>>53656985

For 450 000 where i live you could get a 1 bedroom unit. Maybe 2 bedrooms if your very lucky
>>53656985
>american dollars
that shit would be expensive in cuckbucks
>>53656989
also i just looked at places in my area and found this for roughly the same price as what OP mentioned

>>53655343
Literally looks like a traphouse I went to once, that was bought by a bunch of college age white kids.
>>53656013
Good reading comprehension.
>>53657109
>http://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-46367020.html
If you look at the floorplan, that place is tiny as fuck.
Also
>almost $500k dollaridoos
You could get something like that here for about $200k plus you would get a 2 car garage, a basement, and a bigger yard.
>>53657109
Place looks pretty cramped, tbqhwy.

>pakis
>getting with white girls unless the girl is underage and its somewhat non-consensual
>>53655343
In all fairness, in rich towns here in the U.S. a house like that cost the same prices.
Here in Greenwich because of the proximity to Yale, the fact that Greenwich High is an above average school, and the average house here is priced in the millions, it's pretty normal for a house of that size to cost that much here.
>>53657170
>>53657193
How much room do you lardarses need goddamn
Our housing market is definitely fucked, but consider that you're paying premium for a home that won't blow over in the wind
>>53657109
Jesus, it is also in the middle of nowhere and north of Manchester.
>>53657230
Yes, but that house isn't in a rich area of a city. It is in the middle of nowhere and far away from any city.
>>53657109
>living in the north
>>53657713
>wanting to live close to london-stan
>>53657743
Why would you want either? Why would you want to live in the UK in general?
>>53657858
>living in Britain
hue hue hue
English land is more scarce and valuable. Even if you're in the middle of nowhere you'll be paying out the ass.
You're all doing it wrong lads, get a foreign gf, learn their irrelevant language and then move to their cunt. Because of how strong the pound is if you save up before you go you can start off with loads of money, even in other western euro cunts they are mostly poorer. Being British and having qualifications from here is very valuable
>>53655343
england weather always looks so gloomy

>if you can't drive you can't even get to a store or a bar in less than an hour
>even if you can drive you can't drive away from home
Shitty desu. At least British suburbs have some degree of community that isn't an uppity homeowners association and have pub and shops in walking distance
>>53661604
I live a 5 min walk from multiple stores and restaurants, train station, bus stops, my doctor, dentist, garage, etc.
>>53661604
Kek. Nice memes. You know nothing about here.
>>53661390
Just keep expressing an interest in her country and culture and say you want to learn more about it. Try to travel over there as often as possible, even just a week away you'll pick up a lot of the language faster then if you was here
British houses are made of brick and mortar though, not sheets of plywood and glue. Our houses don't fall down in a strong wind.
>>53662015
Most American homes are full masonry brick

Terraform that shit you lazy abos
Anyone want a free synagogue? It's in my town, no more jews,all went on vacation in summer camp. The place has potential
>>53662676
With your dollar that's like $99 and change
>>53662676
Oh my god I was expecting something really nice
>>53655937
cardboard boxes don't qualify as houses tho

Is the Canadian dollar like the yen, where 1,000,000 of them usually buys a used car or something?

I doubt you do.. Not many people that haven't lived or travelled western Europe realise just how fucking full it is here.
