A good deal, it seems. The price of property is always rising (on the whole), so if one is going to be in one location for long, it is usually better to buy than to rent property. I have to say that property prices don't usually rise as fast as this and there are generally legal fees to be taken into account.
Hitting lucky with conversion rates is not always so easy!
