The cost of an estate? Written by Benedicte (4/13/2010 1:26 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, The liberty of a manor, and other ramblings, penned by Elizabeth K

as opposed to that of renting a manor (with the rights attached to it)?

How much would the rental of Netherfield have cost?

What kind of an estate could Mr Bingley afford with his 100000 fortune? I assume one did not borrow before buying, so the purchase of an estate resulted in the loss of ready money, but on the other hand the estate yielded a yearly income...Was it supposed to yield 4% as money seemed to do in JA's novels?
