Using information found on Rightmove.co.uk, we’ve compared prices from locations all over the UK.
Stoke-on-Trent
So to start off, let’s choose a high budget home in Stoke-on-Trent. For £495,000, you can get a lovely 4-bedroom detached house, with one of the bedrooms being a home office. This also includes en-suite and family bathroom, a large extensive garden and even has easy access to local schools and transport.
This is what £495,000 can get you in Stoke-on-Trent, but what can it get you in other locations?
London
London is a place known for it’s high budget accommodations, being the most expensive place to live in the UK. So you can imagine that £495,000 isn’t going to quite get you as much as it would in Stoke-on-Trent. But let’s take a look anyway.
You can get a lovely 2-bedroom apartment by The Royal Docks in London for that price. It includes 2 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen, reception room and a balcony.
While this is a very nice property, it does not give you as much room as the family home in Stoke-on-Trent. It is also quite a large budget for just an apartment.
York
If you decided to go for a property in York, you’d definitely be getting more for your money than you would in the likes of London.
This detached property is located in Copmanthorpe, York and has 4 bedrooms. It has 3 reception rooms, a large open plan kitchen and a luxury bathroom/shower room. You also get a workshop garage and a large garden for that price, not too bad at all.
A budget of around £495,000 will tend to get you a nice 3 to 4-bedroom house or a nice apartment closer to the City Centre.
Altrincham
Now Altrincham is a bit pricier, with the average house price being almost £200,000 more than York, and over £300,000 more than in Stoke-on-Trent.
With the budget of £495,000, this could get you a 3-bedroom apartment with a beautiful roof garden. The property is located in Hale, which is near to Altrincham and has good local transport access. It has transformed into a sleek, stylish penthouse, suitable for anyone with a luxury lifestyle.
Not exactly a family home though, if that is what you are after.
Surrey
This property is a 3-bedroom detached house located in Guildford, Surrey. It features 3 double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room, 2 reception rooms and a garage and space up for to 4 vehicles. This property is priced at only £485,000, being under budget by £10,000.
The location gives it easy access to the local train stations and it’s close to the A331, A3 and M3. Another benefit to this property is that it is situated opposite a primary school, making it ideal for families.
This kind of home is relatively cheap for Surrey though, and hard to find.
What Can The Average House Price in Stoke-on-Trent Get You Elsewhere?
Now let’s move on to the main question.
Stoke-on-Trent’s average house price is around £128,255. Compared to a lot of other places in the country, this is cheap. Therefore, meaning you can opt for a nicer home without having to spend huge amounts.
For example, you could get a 3-bedroom semi-detached house for £130,000. Situated in a good location, it features double-glazed windows, a large drive leading to a detached garage and has great access to the local parks and the City Centre.
Now we know what this price gets you in Stoke-on-Trent, let’s see what kind of property this amount will get you in other locations.
Sheffield
This budget will tend to get you either a 3-bedroom terraced house or a nice apartment in the City.
Like this property, which is a 2-bedroom apartment priced at £130,000. It has an open plan kitchen/dining area, an en-suite bathroom and it’s good for transport access.
Not a bad start, but you’re definitely getting more for your money in Stoke-on-Trent.
Edinburgh
Now we venture up North. A budget of £130,000 can get you a spacious 2-bedroom flat located in Edinburgh.
It’s a modern building, located in a popular residential area and has a modern fitted kitchen, gas central heating and a family bathroom. The average house price in Edinburgh is over £100,000 more than Stoke-on-Trent, so this shows why this amount will tend to only get you a flat.
Newcastle
Newcastle’s average house price is around £194,958, which doesn’t seem like much more than the price in Stoke-on-Trent. But let’s take a look at what you could find for £130,000.
Take this 3-bedroom end of terrace property for example. It has an open plan lounge/kitchen and a drive for off street parking. This house also benefits from gas central heating and laminate flooring.
So again, not a bad property, but you’re likely to receive more in Stoke-on-Trent.
Cornwall
Cornwall is a place where £130,000 will most likely get you a flat or a 2-bedroom terraced house at most. This makes sense because the average house price there is £247,536 and it’s a sought after place to live.
But let’s take a look at what that money could get you anyway.
Here we have a 2-bedroom end of terrace house located in Callington, Cornwall. It features uPVC double glazed windows with two parking spaces outside and an enclosed garden.
This is a cheap and affordable option, but there is more to be had elsewhere.
