*dies at all the prices mentioned* I see now why Ian always complained about housing over there *finds a way to get him to move over here (US)*
I still think it'd be cool to live next to her.............do I wanna ask about Edinburugh?
*goes to the bank to add more money to save up to be JK's neighbor | |

Ask what about Edinborough? I'm sure her house there is more expensive than this one. However, it doesn't have 15 bedrooms as was previously rumoured  | |

It's kinda funny actually, last night my fiance suggested we sell everything we own and move to England... Which would put us exactly... Nowhere near JK Rowling!  | |

Wow that would certainly be cool to live in her neighbourhood!! It would still be cool to live in the neighbourhood next to hers, or pretty close.Without sounding rude but I guess the property agents would make a nice sum out of a house in her neighbourhood. I mean at one time the neighbourhood but not be well known, but now... | |

Er....impossible? That was my first thought when I read the headlines. And yet, it is possible. A very expensive possibility, that is.  I suppose you must be very, very, very financially successful (or...just extremely successful in... some... way) in order to buy a house that expensive in UK. | |

Nowhere near JK Rowling! | Not true, you're not in England now, so being there is already closer. Besides you could always move in across the street...............and live in the park of course.
I wouldnt mind living in England, but housing is just way too expensive. *sighs* oh well, so much for collaborating with JK! lol | |

8 million dollars? LOL I don't even think we have houses in America that go for that price! Well, maybe if you went to Hollywood to live near the stars... maybe.
*sigh* It would be grand to live near her though. lol Not that I could go to England... I have knee problems where the weather makes it hurt. *sigh* | |
