The house in question is a new build - the old house was demolished and a new one built. However it has been on the market for a little while, so wasn’t built for a specific person, Ben White or otherwise.

Put this in the mixer. Ben White cannot be on tremendous wages....yet. So how much does NSC reckon he could spend on a house......500k. That amount may get you a nice semi with a drive in Sussex. He could probably buy Yorkshire for the same amount. *

It was on the market for a little under double that.

As a cash buyer, £500k seems affordable for him, after all that's only £10k/week (not taking into account tax/ni obviously) .
But as a deposit, a single year's salary probably gets him half a dozen very nice properties (or a huge portfolio of 1-bed rental flats) on what are probably just a 5 or 10 year mortgages.
So even if the Worthing pad is worth a few million, it's not a big deal if you don't actually have to save a deposit and will be paying off the mortgage in a couple of years.

So is it true or not 
Crikey.....make that Yorkshire & Cumbria*
*or any other Northern country
Have you see the prices of property on just the edge of the Lake District?? https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-66054732.html
PS - the Lake District is wholly within Cumbria (sorry to say that if I tell people I live in Cumbria they often look blank - if I say 'near the Lake District' they know where I mean!).

I'll add to the mix re property prices in the North. Go and try and find a property for less than a million in Alderley Edge/ Prestbury in Cheshire or Formby near Liverpool.
Anyway, good to see Ben is putting down some roots in Sussex. I'm assuming his girlfriend is from Sussex too.
Exciting times to be an Albion fan, but let's not get too much like stalkers please.

Somehow suspect that mortgage companies would be fighting a way to his door .............

By all accounts, his girlfriend is from Leeds (or at least her dad is supposedly a huge Leeds fan). However, even if that is true, he didn't meet her since he's been WITH Leeds - he was seeing her for months prior to his loan spell starting.

His girlfriend and her dad are both from Hull. (My current other half is mutual friends with CM on Facebook) The dad does have a Leeds badge in his profile picture, fair few people living in Hull follow Leeds or usually Liverpool.

From the social media stuff, it would seem that she is from Hull, and that he met her while he was on loan at Peterborough.
