Could you buy a 2-bed where you live for £115K - £117k?

[CryingShame]

If you can, where do you live? I want my mum to move to your neck of the woods

Mum is divorcing and struggling to buy where she is (SW England) or where me and my DSis live (NW and East Mids) for £115 - 117k, which is her share of the house proceeds minus a few grand to cover moving / storage / legal costs. She can't have a flat as she has a small dog, and wants to park her car / be near shops for when she's older and no longer driving. Not much then .

She wants a freehold, as she won't have the income for a leasehold service charge, and isn't eligible for deals with new builds as she's not a first time buyer, just low income as she's retired and got a crap level of pension from PT working.

I think I'm looking for the impossible, but I'm just hoping for some possible ideas of areas I can look at for her.

You can buy 2 and might get change!

Totally possible in many areas of Northern Ireland! But that's not very helpful
I guess :)

Yes probably. But why not a gf flat? Definitely nice gf or garden flats for that here.

Could barely by a garage here for that

Couldn't buy a 1 bed flat for that here.

We live between barnsley and Rotherham in south York's. She would get a 2 bed house easily. Probably even a 2 bed bungalow.

A one bed in my road has just sold
for £210,000 .

Oh yes, easily. Would have to be careful about location, though. North East.

Ha ha no. Couldn't buy one for £300k here sadly.

Definitely in certain areas of greater Manchester. She'd probably get change.

We've just reduced our 2 bed terrace to £87,950. We're in Bradford though, not the most popular place on earth.

Cumbria, most definitely.

Lincs/Cambs border and yes...could probably get a 3 bed for that

Yes NE Derbyshire

A relative has recently bought a 3 bed terrace in Carmarthen for £110,000 5 minutes walk to all the town shops.

Not a hope in hell.

Yes, certain areas of Swansea.

About to put our 2 bed on the market. NE Cambs and will be on for less than that. Off road parking and walkable to town and local shops

you got a lot for your money in west lancashire.

Or you can get a 3 bed recent build for £115k

And yes, northeast. Good public transport, too.

I did think of somewhere like Uttoxeter, for closer proximity to family, but it seems that house prices there have risen a fair bit since I last looked.

Just looked at houses for sale in Leicester and she could get a lovely property for that.

Leicester is in the midlands isn't it ?

You can get a 2 bed in an ex LA tower block for £110. Or a studio apartment in a small block if you don't fancy living in a high rise. Essex.

You would in Coventry, Hinckley, Nuneaton or Earl Shilton.
