12th-century Welsh manor with full banqueting hall goes on sale for the same price as a London flat...but which would YOU choose
Tucked away in the Welsh countryside, Crick Manor dates back to the year 1270 and has been in the same family since since 1971.
Situated in the village of Crick, Monmouthshire, the house has good transport links despite its quaint surroundings.
The four-bedroom home also comes with its own Banqueting Hall with stone-arched windows dating back to 1270.
The stunning manor is available as a freehold for £750,000.
For the same price, a one bedroom flat in Marylebone in London with just 511 square foot of space is on the market.
Crick Manor has been described as an historic residence with features including stone walls and inglenook fireplaces.
The iconic banqueting hall is currently being used for business purposes and has two raised platforms for office and work space.
The description for the property said the hall could be used for events, parties, or could be adapted as a luxury living space.
Beneath the hall, there is a basement with an original cobbled floor which was once used as a kitchen for the hall.
The property also features three stone-faced outbuildings, including a garage/workshop with shutter doors, a stone shed and a detached workshop with power and lighting.
Inside the main house, a porch leads through to a dining hall with exposed stone walls, timber beams and an inglenook fireplace with a gas coal effect fire.
The dining hall provides access to the kitchen, inner hallway, and a spacious lounge, which features exposed stonework, wooden beams and another fireplace.
The kitchen is equipped with a range of wall and base units, providing space for appliances, including fridge, freezer, dishwasher, freestanding cooker and washing machine.
There are four double bedrooms and a large loft room which the listing says is suitable for conversion into additional bedrooms.
There is a family bathroom with a bath, washbasin and a bidet.
Another shower room is located next to one of the bedrooms, which could be converted into an ensuite bedroom.
The property also covers around half an acre of grounds, with multiple seating areas, a rear patio and a car park with enough space for multiple vehicles.
Crick Manor also presents a business opportunity. The listing says that the property is perfectly suited for a range of business ventures, with its ample parking, sizeable gardens and huge Banqueting Hall.
Meanwhile in London, and coming in at the same price as the manor, a one-bedroom appartment in Marylebone is up for sale.
The home is around 40 times smaller than the grounds of Crick Manor, but does sit on a 'quiet street close to the attractions of the West End', according to the listing.
It features just three rooms, a bedroom, kitchen and reception room.
The property is also a short walk away from Regent's Park as well as the amenities and attractions of Baker Street.

I just wanted to buy a home - but the real estate agent blew up the deal with a wild cash demand before I could even make a bid. Here's the real reason WHY they did it though…
A Melbourne real estate agent has sparked outrage amid claims it demanded $2,000 from a home buyer before they would be allowed to bid at an auction. The potential buyer claimed on Reddit that a real estate agent for Local Expertz Realty, in Melton, west of Melbourne, demanded the 'deposit'. He insisted he had attended auctions previously without having to pay any such fee. 'They always make you fill out the same bidder registration form with all your personal details, along with a copy of your driver's licence, which all makes sense to me,' the post read. 'Today however, after filling out the bidder registration form, I get a call from the agent saying I need to deposit $2000 into their company's account.' The buyer claimed he was told by the agent it was 'standard practice'. 'They tried to reassure me by saying that the money will be refunded if I don't win the auction, but I wasn't having it,' the buyer posted. 'There is absolutely no need for such a ridiculous stipulation. He told me it was a company rule and there was nothing he could do about it. 'I simply refused and said I'd just look elsewhere before hanging up.' But Local Expertz Realty director Jesse Singh hit back at the claims, telling Daily Mail the buyer planned to call in his bids over the phone. 'We do not ask a potential bidder to pay any deposit to attend an auction,' Mr Singh told the Daily Mail. 'However, if a potential bidder wishes to bid over the telephone and we've never met or transacted with the individual previously, we may ask the bidder to deposit $2000-$5000 in our trust account to validate that we're dealing with a genuine bidder to protect the owner's interest and avoid facing a false bidding situation. 'The deposit sits in our trust account which is a non-interest bearing account and the money is fully refunded the next business day if the potential bidder does not win the bidding or chooses not to bid at all. 'This is permitted by Consumer Affairs to filter out a false bidding situation. 'It becomes tricky for the public when someone is telling part of a story. 'That buyer obviously didn't mention on Reddit that he wanted to bid over the phone and he was interstate.' The original poster mentioned that detail in a later post near the end of the Reddit thread, although it was almost hidden among the hundreds of comments on his post. 'I only preregister because I don't live in the area and can't attend the auction in person,' he noted. A spokesperson for Real Estate Institute of Victoria told Daily Mail the practice was legal, adding: 'Some agents may use this as a way to confirm the validity of a bidder. 'The legislation does not prohibit this. The key is that it is fully refundable and held in the agent's trust account,' the spokesperson said. Reddit users slammed the little-known practice and questioned if this was now considered 'normal'. Many noted the actual seller was likely unaware potential buyers were being put off even bidding due to the 'refundable deposit'. 'Lots of people out there looking to find a home would be attending more than one auction,' one said. 'When we were looking, we planned out a weekend with six auctions (fortunately, we found and "bought" a place before we needed to go through that...) 'Having to front up with a deposit for EVERY auction they plan to attend is really cutting down on the amount of potential buyers.' Some readers suggested other real estate agents across Australia have demanded similar deposits. 'I had one tell me today I had to pay a $2,000 deposit to put in an offer,' they posted. 'It's my first time going as far as wanting to put in an offer so have no idea if this is normal or not, but I thought they had to present the owner with all offers, so I don't see why I'd need to pay a $2,000 deposit. 'You got off easy, I was asked last year for a $5,000 deposit to make an offer. That was for a real estate agent in Eltham, VIC,' another person claimed. 'I would think it's to make sure they're only dealing with legit buyers; if you don't have $5,000 then how can you possibly afford the property. 'Didn't have that experience when looking at any other properties.' Other Victorians have shared similar stories on Reddit over the past year. One posted seven months ago that the home buyer needed to transfer a $2,000 holding deposit into the agent's trust account and send a screenshot when it had been made. 'We have registered for a few auctions and never had to do this before,' the poster claimed. 'The text also said that if we are successful, the $2,000 will go towards our deposit, or if we're unsuccessful it will be transferred back to us within 24 hours.' 'In Victoria there is no requirement to register for an auction, unlike in other Australian states,' one reader responded. 'You are better off not replying to this and just showing up at the auction and bidding if you feel like it.

UK's biggest bailiff firm forced to issue REFUNDS after overcharging hard-up households
THE UK's biggest bailiff firm has been forced to issue refunds after overcharging hard-up households hundreds of pounds. Marston Holdings has apologised after charging people multiple "enforcement fees" - which are £235 each - relating to unpaid road traffic penalties. 1 This is a fixed fee added to debts when a bailiff visits someone's home in England and Wales. Thousands of people may have been wrongly charged more than one enforcement fee by the company, sources told The Guardian. Marston said the issue with its systems had now been fixed and refunds had been sent to everyone affected. However, minutes of a trade body meeting last month said the company, which was alerted to the issue in April, was reviewing seven years' worth of cases. It also said the company would be setting up a full refunds scheme with a dedicated call centre that would operate for three years. Marston works for several public bodies to recover debts, including dozens of local authorities, Transport for London, National Highways and HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS). Bailiff watchdog the Enforcement Conduct Board (ECB) slammed the incident as "unacceptable". ECB boss Chris Nichols said: 'It is very concerning to see breaches of regulations that are there to protect the public from overcharging. 'This is unacceptable behaviour, and the ECB is taking strong action to ensure that people who have been impacted are found and refunded, and that this behaviour is never repeated. 'We have ensured that Marston has signed up to a robust action plan to put this right.' 6 easy ways to boost your credit rating A spokesperson for Marston Recovery told The Guardian: 'In the spring of this year an issue was identified where some individuals with multiple unpaid road traffic penalties had been overcharged enforcement fees. The issue has been fixed. 'Letters, with cheques for a full refund plus interest at 8%, have been sent out to all of those affected. "Those letters include an apology and guidance on how to contact us if there are any questions or help is required.' It added: 'Since the issue first came to light, we have worked closely with the ECB … and all of our clients. "We take full ownership and have worked hard to do the right thing by repaying people back what they are owed.' It comes after The Sun revealed that Council Tax debt is "skyrocketing", with the use of bailiffs by councils having increased by an average of 13 per cent in the last year. How to get help with debt There are several ways you can get help to clear your debt to avoid bailiffs turning up at your door. Groups like Citizens Advice, StepChange and National Debtline can help you manage your debt and negotiate with your creditors. Citizens Advice says it's important to work out a budget and k eep an eye on your bank balance. Try and pay off more than the minimum on credit cards each month, and pay your most expensive credit card first. If you've got several debts and can't pay them all, it's important to prioritise. Your rent, mortgage, council tax and energy bills should be paid first, as the consequences can be serious if you don't pay. You should always have a look at what free options are available for managing debt before you turn to a private firm for support. There's also a government scheme to help manage debt called Breathing Space, which gives you the right to legal protection from creditors for up to 60 days. .

London pays three times as much inheritance tax as Scotland and Wales
Families in London have paid triple the amount of inheritance tax than those in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined. Estates of those who died in the capital paid £1.53 billion in the 2022-23 tax year, according to the latest HM Revenue & Customs data. This compares with the total £525 million that was handed over by estates in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The average bill in London was £300,000, compared with £213,000 nationally. Some £6.175 billion was paid by estates in England, and the UK total was £6.7 billion. The figures come as Rachel Reeves is said to be considering an inheritance tax crackdown in the autumn budget, which could involve a cap on financial gifts given to family members while still alive. The surge in inheritance tax payments is down to rising house prices and frozen inheritance tax allowances, which have pushed thousands more families into the tax net, delivering a record windfall for the Treasury. The value of homes included in estates that had to pay the tax has jumped more than 50 per cent in three years, from £10.1 billion in 2019-20 to £15.6 billion in 2022-23. Over the same time, the number of the estates subject to inheritance tax that included residential property rose from 19,000 to 26,600. The cash savings held by estates that paid inheritance tax grew from £5.1 billion in 2019-20 to £7.15 billion in 2022-23, while the value of shares increased from £8.9 billion to £10.8 billion. These increases have been compounded by a freeze on the inheritance tax-free allowances. The £325,000 nil-rate band (the value of an estate you can leave tax-free) and the £175,000 main residence band (available if you leave your main home to a direct descendant on an estate worth less than £2 million) will not go up until at least 2030. Above these allowances inheritance tax is charged at 40 per cent, although anything left to a spouse or civil partner is inheritance tax-free, and they can also inherit one another's allowances. This means a couple can pass on up to £1 million tax-free. Sean McCann from the wealth manager NFU Mutual said: 'The continuing rise in house prices coupled with the long-term freeze in the tax-free thresholds means that a growing share of UK property wealth is being caught in the inheritance tax net. With the thresholds set to remain frozen until at least 2030, this is a trend that is likely to continue.' Nationally, 31,500 estates paid inheritance tax in 2022-23, raising that total of £6.7 billion for the Treasury. London's three top paying constituencies — Kensington; Chelsea and Fulham; and Finchley and Golders Green — each generated more than £100 million. The southeast (excluding London) recorded the highest number of taxable estates, with 6,650 paying a total of £1.45 billion. In Scotland 1,680 estates paid £331 million, in Wales 1,030 estates paid £155 million and in Northern Ireland 334 estates paid £40 million. Together, London and the southeast accounted for 44 per cent of all inheritance tax receipts. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts that inheritance tax will raise £14.3 billion in 2029-30, with 9.5 per cent of deaths triggering the levy. From April 2026, agricultural and business property relief will be made less generous, and pension pots will be brought into the tax net from April 2027. McCann warned that these changes would 'significantly increase' the number of families affected. 'We are seeing a sharp increase in calls from those seeking inheritance tax advice, particularly in the light of proposed changes to agricultural property relief and business property relief from April next year which will have a huge impact on farming and business communities,' he said. He added that giving away assets in your lifetime can help to reduce inheritance tax: 'Each tax year you can give away gifts totalling £3,000 immediately free of inheritance tax. If you haven't used the previous year's allowance, you can go back one year — so a couple could potentially give away £12,000 without worrying about the seven-year rule.' Under the seven-year rule if you give away an asset — whether cash, property or shares — and live for seven years or more after making the gift, it will be exempt from inheritance tax. If you die before then, the value of the gift will be counted as part of your estate, although the rate of tax due on it falls on a sliding scale after three years.
