Yeah. I had an ex who's dad bought a place in primrose Hill outright in the early 80s for "only" whatever it was (I think £100k, but don't hold me to that).
Totally oblivious to how much he must have been making to have that sort of cash back then as the sole income earner.
Admittedly he did also luck out on it becoming fashionable and the resulting uplift.
