I know darn well I wouldn't be able to afford this house (3 bed detached with garage) if I was buying it now.

I also know that, even though its price is around 3.5 times what I paid for it, I couldn't afford to sell up and move elsewhere unless downsizing . . even if I was younger and still working.

I've also thought a few times when having a new bathroom, new kitchen, double glazing, electrics, central heating boiler, and all the fencing, that It would have cost me less if I was in a council house . . .
