Best cheap place to live in UK?

[alltootired]

We are considering moving and buying a house elsewhere in the UK. But we don't have much ,money.
Where is the best place to live in the UK where houses are still relatively cheap?

Teeside - there's some lovely places which are still very affordable

@AltitudeCheck That's fair enough. Though, OP mentioned Selby, 20 minutes drive from York, is too expensive. Nearby area of Leeds can be worth checking.

Look around Bacup area in Lancashire. Close to countryside and grammar school. Houses within your budget.

There's 2 here in OK areas

I'm very keen on the chapel - what an amazing big space 🥰

The areas surrounding Preston maybe?

Herefordshire is really pretty and chocolate box. Low crime and excellent schools. Check out Fairfield school. If you have kids it's a good choice. For work you will need to travel though.

I've proper messed up those links!

Penistone

Clayton West

Pp mentioned lytham st annes, in lytham you won't get much but st annes you would and its lovely. Lovely beach, good independent shops, close to countryside. We live just over the border in Blackpool but I grew up in lytham.

@alltootired no problems- I also limited it to areas I know aren't bad at all- indeed several are what you would call nice areas - reason I suggested it is it's good for countryside , has a good hospital , isn't on a limb and has tons within budget for you both modern and period.

If you really do mean "anywhere" I'd look somewhere like Perth.

Cornwall is much cheaper inland in places like Bodmin, St Austell, Camborne etc than on the touristy coast, OP.

This house is in a very affluent village, equidistant between hereford abd abergavenny. Both towns with hospitals. Catchment for Fairfield school.

Scarborough ? close to the North Yorkshire moors and lots of lovely coastline

Barnsley town centre ish walking distance to hospital.

Clayton West again
Suburbs of Wakefield

@Dmsandfloatydress do a search on HD8, WF4, S75 and S36. That's the rural/semi rural bits between Huddersfield, Wakefield and Barnsley. Each of those towns has a hospital? If that's the type of nhs work your DP does. Handy motorway access, nice countryside, but has the advantage of not being so nice recovering by tourists on weekends! But drivable to the Peak District and Dales for other walking.i walk a lot locally though.

Accessible to Leeds and Sheffield if you need a city fix. Manchester is manageable too, if you must!

Have a look at Chesterfield - it's not the nicest town (no offence to anyone who lives there!) but very close to the Peak District and to Sheffield, and very affordable

Suffolk - loads of options and beautiful countryside and coast, Good Luck!

Funny you should mention that as it's where I want to move to in future! 😂 the place I live now in Derbyshire is worse than Chesterfield.

Skelmersdale, west Lancashire. 12 minutes from Wigan centre and 20 minutes from Liverpool centre. 35 to Manchester. . House prices are still pretty cheap and lots of green spaces.

That’s actually a really nice road, very convenient for schools and hospital

This is in Skelmersdale

@Beezknees sorry! Bits of it are actually very nice! Like biggish place I suppose. My parents live there and find it very good in terms of amenities, transport links, etc.
