£25 in 1957 is the equivalent of £538.70 in 2026. That's how much we're being stung today. They were buying houses for £538!

My grandparents had a mortgage like that on their house brought in 1959 for £2,500 that was within commuting distance of London. It sold in 2008 for £650,000 and was only a small end of terrace two up two down
