There are still cheap places to live all over England and Scotland - I bought a 1 bedroom flat with small garden for £90k in Peterborough (a smaller city about an hour north of London) 3 years ago, and the garden has enough space for a few raised beds with vegetables in them
Don’t flats like that usually come with the worst of renting and owning though, as you usually still have ground rates that cost quite a bit and the leasehold expires eventually? Plus they usually don’t have gardens.
Kinda yeah, but I was still able to buy it with only £10k down, my mortgage is only £350/month, and I’ve repainted the place to suit my taste and cut out a wall to make space for a washing machine (I put a dishwasher in the kitchen instead).
Not saying it’s for everyone, but it worked for me 🤷
