What utter nonsense

whatever Thatcher do, or did not do wrong, creating a housing shortage was
not one of them,

That came much later (mostly on the watch of Mt T Blair)

Letting in 8 million immigrants , most of them on Labours watch, might
have something to do with the housing shortage and NHS queues. Though no
doubt the left will continue to put their fingers in their ears and sing
La La La whenever this is mentioned, inbetween calling the person who said
it a Waaaacist! naturally.

A reasonable interchange of educated, professional, cultured people is
a very good thing. It brings fresh ideas and energy and helps
international goodwill. Unfortunately the UK has become the dumping
ground for every one else's trash.

Our educted minds leave. Then we pay our unskilled to stay home while
eastern Europe's bottom feeders do their jobs.

Don't talk about my neighbours, m/f.

Only 8 months on the tenants agreement that I assume is an AST, so you
could move in in April if you wanted to. Not that specialist really.

I wonder why the vendor is selling now. He'd acheive a lot simpler sale
(and to people who get a mortgage rather then in effect cash-only
buyers) if *he* waited until April.

St Matthew's Gardens is a bit cheaper with 3/4 bed houses nudging
half a million. St Andrews Road, on the other hand, is much more
expensive for freehold 3/4 beds with several valued at the moment
in
the 700-800k bracket. Leasehold 2 bed flats are around 400k.

Last week's property supplement has a 1 bed flat in St Matthew's
Gardens with an asking price of £260K.

Not sure if that's evidence of a high price (£260k a bedroom vs
£125k) or what.

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

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?

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
