At what price is a house considered 'expensive' in Britain?

My parents own 3 houses, 2 in the UK and 1 in France.

The one in France is worth roughly £150,000 (in the Pyrenees) while the two UK ones are around £130,000-135,000 (in Cardiff)

When i look at house price differences the largest difference i see between the two countries is that land is WAY cheaper in France, a 1 acre property in Shropshire could cost you £350,000+ if it's decent, in France you could pick one up for half that.

I said £300,000 or above is expensive, this is because most people can't buy a mortgage for a house if it's over £150,000 for their first home, so double that is £300,000 which could realistically be your second home if your willing to keep paying mortgage, and anything above £300,000 is normally out of reach even for middle aged peoples mortgages.

obviously this is a little bit subjective and varies from region to region. But in general, what do you think is the cut-off price where anything above it is 'expensive' (in other words anything below is 'not expensive' ). More in terms of what older generations (i.e. your parents) would think.
