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.

Yep bolton

Yes, even on the edge of the Lake District.

Stoke on Trent / Newcastle under Lyme and the surrounding area. In fact you could look at the majority of north Staffordshire right up to the Cheshire and Derbyshire borders. Lots of choice 115k and under. She will need to be careful of the area though.....might be another thread in its own right!

In North Shields about 6 miles from us

South London - no - you're looking at about £400,000 for that

I'm in the NW (fylde coast) and you could get a decent 3 bed terrace/2 bed semi for £115k in St Anne's, you could probably get a 4 bed in Blackpool but lytham/ st Anne's are nicer.

In modest housing in a more deprived past of the city. Might be up and coming though!

She could buy a lovely place in North Staffs/Staffordshire Moorlands for that.
