I think the government really need to start looking at building homes so we can afford to move into them.

The NE prices are still rising quite dramatically at the minute so it'll not be that much cheaper.
My flat has went up £30K in 12 months and my Mam & Dad 4 bed detached has just been valued a £400K

Wouldn't say it was cheap just less than the equivelent in Surrey
If you're talking about living in Newcastle, Gosforth, Jesmond etc. you'll be looking at double that.
We're just about to start work on some 2bed apartments that start at £385K
