Here’s what £1m can get you in London and Sunderland

If you have ever wondered how much £1 million could get you across the UK, then look no further as we’ve compared a £1m property in London and Sunderland to find out how much of a difference location really makes.

London is not known for offering bargain buys with flats in the centre of the capital rarely being below £1m. 

In comparison, the North East region of Sunderland offers a vastly different landscape, with £1m properties ranging from one-of-a-kind builds to historic mansions. 

To see the real differences, we’ve got two current listings on the property market site, Zoopla.
