When I mean decent I mean a 4 or 5 bedroom house, with a large kitchen, and living room. A inground swimming pool outside, and with 31/2 bathroms. Witch Grantite, and marble countertops? 255,322,191 GPB converted into US Dollars it's $500,000.00 dollars. And over here in the US you can find great beautilful houses like my description. So anyone from the UK who can answer that, or anyone really that would be great. I plan on moving to London someday.

No sorry, you might get a two bedroom apartment for that amount. London is extremely expensive. You would probably have to spend around $2,000,000 US to get that kind of house and it would be not central London, but more of a commute.
If you came to Sydney, Australia though (I have just moved here from the UK), you could pretty much buy something like that.

Around £260,000 would currently get you either a small two bedroom flat (apartment) or a small terraced house in the outer suburbs. Anything, even the smallest flat, within a five mile radius of central London would cost a minimum of £350,000 as a starting price. Its a great place to live, but if you want to come here you'd better start saving up!

Oh God - I have only just stopped laughing. Ha ha haa haa ha!
OK seriously - no!!!! My very small two bed terraced house with tiny garden cost £150,000 and thats in the countryside - London prices are huge.
Go to www.rightmove.co.uk and check out the prices by doing a search and you'll see. In all honesty I guess you'd be looking at £500,000 minimum for that - probably tonnes more.

£250,000 in London, you may get an apartment or very small house. If your lucky. What you have decribed could be in the region of £850,000 min.
