So where can you buy a 4 bed detached for less than £450k?

Inspired by the previous thread.

Where in the UK can you buy a 4 bed, 2 receptions detached house with a garage & garden?

We were all set to put our house on the market last summer to upsize... and then we didn't.

Now there's a huge influx of people from the SE moving here, which has pushed up prices. In a way this is good because our house is worth more but we want to upsize so we would have to take on a larger mortgage than originally planned.

Are there any areas left in the UK where a 4 bed detached is £450k or less?

The Wirral. Easily. Lovely houses. Grammar schools. Countryside. Beaches. Close to Liverpool and Manchester and Chester.

Loads. You'll need to go to the Midlands or higher though.

Well, loads of places. But you know that. What are the other criteria? What are you looking for from the area?

Ribble Valley in Lancashire. Usually near top in best places to live surveys.

South Norfolk.

Most places in the North of England and probably all of Scotland.

Lots of places in Hampshire..

This one?

Northamptonshire and upwards

All the lovely parts of Sheffield (bar Whirlow and some parts of Dore and Ecclesall). Fab access to peak District, 2 great theatres, loads of lovely bars and restaurants and fantastic schools of you choose the nice areas, even pretty good schools in less nice areas.

Most of Wales, Scotland and England except the south east.

In the south? Around Swindon.

@FilthyforFirth where in Hampshire? I was looking there previously and struggled to find anything

North of England apart from hot spots. Easy.

East Yorkshire

Definitely the Midlands. 360k the four bed I'm planning to rent out. Though a small garden but near a nature reserve (near as in you can see it). Midlands is also good for transport links if you need those. But there are other things to consider

Nearly all of Lincolnshire (maybe not the old town part of Stamford) which has some lovely towns and villages and still a grammar school system.

Norwich as well.

South Ribble - recently voted one of the best places to live/grow up in

Yup, there’s a modern 4 bed 2 recep, with garage and garden in my village, under offer at the moment for £275k, OP. That’s pretty standard in my part of Scotland. If you didn’t mind a dodgy area, you could get one for quite a bit less than that too.

Most places in the North of England and probably all of Scotland.

ALL of Scotland? it's a big place you know! Some places you will manage to get what you're looking for but certain places in Scotland will be more expensive.

Rightmove search of 40 mile radius of my house gives over 3000 houses that are 4 bed detached £450k or less

North Lancashire.

We’re in a 5 bed detached. In a quiet village over looking the sea and only 30 minutes from the lakes.

We paid just under 400k

Peterborough if you want a city with quick commuter links to London - only 50 minutes to kings cross.
