We paid £12750 in 1977 for a 3 bed semi in West London now its worth £400K we sold it for about £75K around 1995 , its staggering when you write it down like that.

£2,500 in 1963 in a small town in Scotland for a tiny semi-detached bungalow. We were mortgaged up to the ears and higher, so don't assume that it was an incredible bargain.

£38,000 for a 3 bedroom house in NW London in 1979. It needed a lot doing to it. Sold it in 1988 for £135,000. If on the market now it would be close to £700,000- frightening.

Cheeky question...but I'm intrigued when I keep reading about the property market gone bonkers. We paid £23000 in 1981 for a 2 bed flat in north London. Goodness knows what it's worth now... If only we'd been in a position to keep it!
