What could I buy in your country for £300,000

Urban...interesting discussion...:) It depends upon the kind of climate you prefer. I would recommend Ooty...people there know English so getting along would be far easier. Though theirs would be heavily accented, and you would need to reduce the speed at which you talk, and may be repeat your requests more often. I am presuming you will have to pay more for everything because of your skin color, so you would have to bargain ...hazards of being a tourist.. I did see a nice house in Ooty that had come up for sale...about 1200 sq.yds. with about 2500 sft. construction about 2,00,00,000 worth plus registration. You could even get some tea farms in places nearby like Coonoor. The other option would be places like Simla, Darjeeling or Goa, where you could still find some European settlers. Ooty does have a few Europeans out there. And so also Goa. Kodaikanal is another place that is supposed to have good climate. Ooty's climate, incidentally is quite like the UK climate. It is also known as Ootachamund. Amenities...however...we are not as good.. :(

In New England, Western Massachusetts to be exact, you could get a house with a barn and 11.1 acres of land for $399,000. The weather might be similar to where you live now. There is a wide range of prices. For a lot less land but a much newer house you could pay twice as much. And no barn, either. There are a lot of rural homes for sale that also have land and outbuildings.

I believe that works out to be $150,000 and that would barely even buy you a condo here. If you're lucky you could buy a 1 bedroom condo. Unless there's something available on a power of sale, then you might be able to get a 2 bedroom house. However, in the country, you could get a large piece of land with a decent sized house.

Multiply that sum but about 145 and you will get it in our currency. This could buy you an apartment in an upscale gated community with 24 hour security with swimming pool and tennis court with its own private beach. This price would be about US$320,000 and I just happen to know one for sale if you are interested. Seriously, would send you the visuals

Well my country is so advance as in the US. so you could get a pretty massive place with that amount. In my country that amount would be $43389300.00 jamaican dollars. That could get you a two story house with possibility of holding 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, a kitchen, dinning room and a living room at lower story alone. So you can imagine the top story would roughly be the same space. With such space you could have a total of 5 bedroom, 1 master bed room, 4 bathroom, 1 master living room.SO that is a decently good space. The problem though is that, you could use that money to get a house like that if you are willing to build the house and not just buy it ready made. Ready made house of such size would increase dramatically. Because a 20 million dollar ready made house. About 150 000 pounds in your currency could get you only a small ready made house with only one bathroom, two bed room, a small kitchen, a small dining room and really small living room. It isn't really worth it to buy ready made house in my country especially in places of high demand.

i think if i have this amount i like to buy hotel in my country.

I live in northern Virginia,a suburb of Washington DC.Here for $300,000 you could probably find a two bedroom condo here or possibly a two or three bedroom townhouse.

Ooooh! That's a big question. It depends how, when & where. I had a look today: http://uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=fxcalculate&action=convert&amount=300&from=GBP&to=AUD&btn=Convert I think you'd have only A$452k due to the "down cycle" we're in at the moment against the pound (my keyboard doesn't even have that symbol - can you believe it?). Wait a bit & it'll get back up! If you want the biggest "bang for your buck" in Australia, I'm recommending - one guess - Adelaide! Cost of living versus level of services has consistently been better here than anywhere else. We're also well known for being the closest capital to resemble an English city. Now, most of what you hear about the driest state in the driest continent on earth might make it all sound very unappealling, so I've found some of our best, greenest countryside just for you! You'd love it in the Adelaide Hills. Green all year 'round & always a few degrees cooler than anywhere else. There is one town, not far from the freeway & well-connected that is very well known for its remarkable resemblance to "all things English" from the town planning to the house styles to the way they do things. I've checked median house prices in that area & they are just a little out of reach right now, but as you can see from the previous chart, the pound-dollar relationship is quite volatile. http://www.sa.gov.au/subject/Housing%2C+property+and+land/Buying+and+selling/Advice+for+people+planning+to+buy+a+property/Metro+median+house+sales+statistics/Adelaide+Hills This is one of the best places in the world to successfully invest in real estate. We're in a slight down cycle now, but prices are tipped to skyrocket in the next 6 - 12 months. In Adelaide, the median overall residential house price is currently at A$390k. You can go here to compare house prices in the other capitals as well as for other data & trends: http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Pacific/Australia/Price-History I've been reading that England is in some sort of a financial trouble from one of the pop-ups on one of those pages. It says something about no matter how much money or property you have in England, you about to "lose it all"! Are your politicians messing about with people's assets up there? Or are you just looking to get out of the country?

Well this is really an interesting topic,so i wanna know what kind of things you want?Clothes or products.An apartment maybe in small city.But it's a lot money.

The amount is enough for a baby camel to buy -- the first class camel

urbandekay Location is everything...it all depends where you want to live as to how much you will get for that money. You can goolge and the internet is chock full of advertizing by many agents only too happy to let you know what you can buy. They often have vitual tours of the properties as well..

It happens to be around 4,579,890,000 rupiahs in Indonesia. And you can buy everything!!! Moreover if you live in my town. You can buy a new house or a new car, or even a store and still have a lot left!

In my country a pound can be converted to more or less 64 pesos depending upon the current exchange rates. If you spend that kind of money in my country, you can buy a modest condo, a car and many things else. I have a British friend and he is astounded at the things he can buy for a few pounds. The fact is you can have a burger and coke at a fast food joint with 2 pounds. Perhaps that is the reason why so many tourists and travelers prefer going to Asia since their dollars and pounds can go a long way to keep them entertained and well fed.

You can buy a apartment in the downtown of my city about 130 square metres with £300,000,but it just the empty flat you need to use your other money to buy the furniture and household appliances.

I live in the capital in my country and property here is a lot more expensive than in other cities here. Here you could probably buy a house with 3 or 4 bedrooms and 2 or 3 bathrooms in a nice neighborhood with that money. In smaller towns, property can be maybe 2/3 of what it is here.

You ask what can I buy with close to RM 1.2 to 1.5 million in Malaysia. With this figure I could buy a double storey link house or terrace house or a semi-detached double storey house. I could even buy a condominium, 1 unit. It all also depends on the location. In greater Kuala Lumpur then it is more expensive. It is cheaper in suburbs or smaller towns.

it is close to about 1.5 million rm in my counntry and in the KL suburban neighbourhood i live i can buy landed property perhaps a corner lot double storey linked house,or perhaps an upscale condo..with. only about 1500 sq ft living space but with all the luxury facilities, pool ,sauna ,gym etc but if i am thinking of investing then i can buy a huge detached bungallow in a rural town..away from the city..and have few thousand sq ft to play with, maybe vegetable farming or freshwater fish rearing digging few ponds in the property..

That sum when converted to malaysian ringgit is more than 1.2 million ringgit malaysia. With this sum of money, you would be able to buy a shop lot, or a small bungalow, or maybe 20 acres of land which is actually one of the best property you may consider. Other than that, I cannot think of much of an option here. The value of money has dropped so much that it frightens me.

In my town you could probably have the best house in town but in Maui not so much.

You can purchase a home in my country :)
