P.S. A pound is about 1 dollar 50 in the US
Way off !
It's about 1.85 at the moment so a £160,000 UK house would be nearly $300,000
It's depressing when you live in a mid-terrace in the UK (esp. in Salford!) and the same 'value' in Canada would get you a nice lake-side 4 bedroom detached house with a view of the Rockies !
