The average house costs £230,474 in the UK, which works out at $496,247.21 atm. That's about the same as a house in Sydney, and much more expensive than Melbourne or Brisbane. If we compare London to Sydney for housing costs, it's £377,807/$813,757.62 for London compared to Syndey's $500 000, more than $300 000 difference.

If you have a good deal of money stored up here, you could get a good deal in Aus, but once you settle there you will be on an Australian salary, so won't benefit from the current rate of conversion.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
