£200k deposit and can't afford a family home

We have a sizable deposit, household income just shy of £100k and we can't find a basic 3 bedroom house (that's not a flat) that we can afford. Our budget is circa £600k but everything in our range is either a total dump, in a dodgy area, or we get totally outbid. I know the housing market is bad but seriously, what the hell is going on? We have don't have time or money for a big renovation. Where is everyone getting all their cash from to afford these basic houses?!

And yes we're in the SE and sort of in the London suburbs. And no we can't move to the north East 😂

You wouldn’t call ‘any’ of those houses a dump? I definitely would. 600k for Croydon? Wow.

It's Selsdon.

600K is cheap for Selsdon.
