I was lucky to have travelled the south with work at a very early stage in my career. I remember Harlow being a particularly odious place full of shandy drinking onanists.
I would have thought Hemel Hempstead tops it for property prices.
Hemel Hempstead is in Hertfordshire, not Essex, which is basically what the story was about on the Essex live website. Best stick to t' village, sorry, hamlet.
BTW Theres a place up in London called 'Mayfair' and I think that might top Hemel Hempstead.
I’m surprised you don’t own a couple of properties in Mayfair and have a few Lords round for drinks with t'lads. I can just imagine you, Sugar, Bezos, Musk, Branson, Gates sitting down playing a game of top trumps.My bad. I assumed the article was focusing on "the most expensive towns to buy a house with a garden in the UK", & not just focusing on ESSEX, even tho' it was written in an Essex noozpaper & no doubt by an Essex boy.
Please forgive my lack of geographical knowledge of the UK & I am, as you all well know, terminally stupid, but the last time I checked both Harlow & Hemel are still both within the boundaries of the UK.
Are you an Essex boi' by chance Mottie???
Is Mayfair a town? IDK, I never lived there but I did do a fair bit of of work for its residents.

Sounds far to manly for me. I bet the air was so thick with testosterone that us mere mortals would have choked the minute we entered the room.Amongst the ageing rock stars, the captains of industry, the inventors, the investors & the retired sports stars, we have the forklift driver, the sub postmaster, the 'grunt' & the local pub's landlords.
Houses have not increased in value. The rising price is due to the decrease in the value of money.
Only if you value your increase in wealth against buying another UK house.But, if I sold my house today I couldn't buy 10 similar houses with the proceeds; I could only buy one.
So, houses have not gone up in value relative to houses.Houses have not increased in value. The rising price is due to the decrease in the value of money.
As an illustration, the current value of my house in pounds sterling is 10 times what it was in the 1990s.
