    Well for me in Scotland, I will assume an exchange rate of $2 to the £1

    House $600,000 - 3 bedrooms, 2 public rooms, 1 bathroom, small garage and garden

    Local council taxes $350 every month for garbage collection, water, etc...

    We have no equivalent to the council tax. The only tax we have is a "Real Estate Tax" for us maybe $500.00 a year.

    We are of course out in the sticks, we have no fire service, just a volunteer fire service which is kinda Keystone Cop'ish. No police protection as such, a sheriff's department etc. a lot of people are consequently armed house holders.

    House insurance is high, about $2400.00 a year on the structures.

    Electricity is cheap, about $140.00 month.

    We are the same for electricity although we pay about $200 per month as we have electricity and gas. House insurance is high right enough, ours is only $800 per year.

    Mind you we pay near $2 per litre of fuel way over what you guys pay.

    I'm staying out of this one (not well endowed Google Earth-wise here at work) but I refuse to believe it's Kyt's house in the pics as there is no evidence of a mountain of books.

    I was thinking about this, our council tax is $260 a month.
    Electricity is about $180 a month (No gas)
    we own our house, but 2 doors up is rented at $1800 a month

    Here is mine. Its at the corner with a red car in front of it. The car is my old cavalier, so the picture is old indeed.

    This is our house, the corner one of the semi-detached pair.

    If you look carefully, you might be able to see my wife in the nude through the attic window. :becky:

    The only reason we can live in such a large house is that we half-own it with my mother-in-law - in may 05 we sold both our houses and bought one jointly, with an annex and a loft-conversion. Living with my mother-in-law, has been, shall we say, rather more difficult than I thought. :mad2:

    Reading through this thread makes me wonder how young people in the U.K. can ever afford to buy a home.

    Simple answer to that, David, is that they can't!
