A UK homeowner has left social media users astonished after revealing the surprisingly affordable price she paid for her spacious six-bedroom property, highlighting the dramatic north-south property divide.
The Property Breakdown That Shocked The Internet
The new homeowner, known as Laura, shared a detailed cost breakdown with her nearly 7,400 followers on TikTok. She expressed that the price was a "very reasonable price for the size of house" and shared her gratitude for being able to afford the stunning property.
Laura disclosed that her new home, located in Lincolnshire in the north of England, cost a total of £391,060. She explained the two main costs involved in purchasing a new build property.
"Our home cost £359,950," Laura said, "we did add a lot of extras and upgrades to the home and this cost £31,110."
Social Media Reaction to the Affordable Price
The video quickly went viral, amassing an impressive 112,000 likes and over 1,700 comments as people expressed their disbelief at the property's cost.
One user put the price into perspective, stating: "£390,000 would barely get you a one bedroom flat in London." Another commenter simply wrote: "Crying southern tears," capturing the sentiment of many living in more expensive regions.
When one person questioned the specific location in Lincolnshire, suggesting prices there were higher, another user identified it as "North Lincs" and speculated it was likely a "Keigar Homes build."
How This Price Compares to UK Averages
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average UK house price was £272,000 as of September 2025. This represents a 2.6% increase compared to the previous year.
The regional breakdown shows even more striking contrasts:
- North West average: £215,000
- North East average: £162,000
- London average: £556,000
While Laura's property significantly exceeds the average price for the north of England, it remains substantially below what a comparable property would cost in the south, particularly in the capital.
The data also revealed that UK house prices rose by 2.6% in the year to September 2025, though this was down from the revised estimate of 3.1% in the 12 months to August 2025.
In a separate video, Laura mentioned that her six-bedroom house is located next to a graveyard, but noted that this "doesn't bother her," suggesting that the property's affordability outweighed any potential concerns about its location.
