How Did Ordinary UK Homes Become So Valuable?

In this episode, I examine original 1930s property brochures from Bexleyheath and Barnehurst to uncover how ordinary suburban homes evolved into some of the most valuable assets in the UK. By comparing historic prices with inflation, wages, and modern market values, I explore what truly drives house prices today: the building itself, or the land beneath it. I also address whether current prices are genuinely inflated and what would happen if they were to fall.
