Hmm ... well, all it cost me back then was a weekly rental of £3.10/-. (That's £3.50 in today's money, for the benefit of those members of two younger generations ... i.e. MOST on here!).

Yes ... the *semi-detatched was/is part of a high-quality housing development begun by the then Perth Town Council in late 1967, and completed in the Spring of '68.

So, me and my entourage at the time, were its *1st occupants.

... God knows (and I'm scared to check - for fear of giving myself a heart attack!) what the rents would be nowadays ... because - as the sitting tenant - in common with more than 90 percent of householders in the scheme, I was able to purchase the property for around £15K in 1991 ... earlier in the year my first wife unfortunately died.
