Is it possible to buy alone as a first time buyer???

[Flawedperfection]

Inspired by another thread…
If you are single, low-ish salary, approx 10-15% deposit, no help whatsoever from any other sources, buying in a fairly pricey area, is it possible to buy alone?
Have any of you done this? Really fed up of ridiculous house prices and having little money and no help from elsewhere (not that I expect a penny).
I have just split up with my other half and want to buy alone. I currently live near Brighton and obviously wouldn’t look there due to expense, but am open to a fresh start in either Wales, greater Manchester or Peterborough areas, some of which I know well.
Where I live, people think you can get a 4 bedroom detached house for £120,000, which I obviously know is not true but while pricey for a singleton, would surely be more affordable?!

What exactly are you asking? Can you get a 3 bed house for £120k? In some places yes. In most cities, no.

Can you save up 10-15% deposit? No idea, it depends on your income and outgoings.

I'm not really sure what answers you're looking for

Check RightMove and use an online mortgage calculator to get a rough idea of house prices and how much you can borrow. Take it from there.

You can generally get approved for a mortgage of around 4.5x your salary (other factors depending).

So if your salary is 20k, you can usually get a mortgage of about 90k. If you had 10k saved, you could then get a house for 100k. If you had 30k saved, you could get a house for 120k.

If your salary was 40k, you could get a mortgage of £180k. If you had 10k saved, you could get a £190k house, if you had 30k saved, a 210k house.

Depends on the house and area, how good your credit rating is etc. It is possible but not everywhere.
It be worth talking to a broker to see what they could help you borrow.

Get a mortgage broker to work out what you can afford. Nobody here could accurately predict this without details about your income and outgoings. That would then inform you of budget and you can then research areas which would be within your price bracket. It’s positive you are flexible re geography so it sounds quite likely something some where will match your needs and budget. Good luck.
