You can't get anything for £125k in Cambridge these days.

Exactly, so what's your point?

You claimed 2-bed flats were around 400k. They aren't that much.

There are several cheaper, but this one isn't:

I don't think that proves anything

even in the depths of the crash there were million pound 2 bed flats for
sale in Cambridge

Know any £125k flats on sale today?

No, but that wasn't the point

which was:

showing that there are 400K+ flats available doesn't negate the claim that
the average (median) price is now 250-300K

In the two developments mentioned by Colin, or throughout the City?

city wide


Remember the context: this is about how much a flat would cost if a
builder had a brown fields development under way at the moment.

IME Developers want to charge premium prices for their new-builds far in
excess of what they cost to build

whether they get away with it depends upon the strength of the local market
