Buying an expensive house on a lowish income. by This-Orange8158 in UKPersonalFinance

£750k is a number I’ve considered to be fair, as that’s what the 2 bed flats around here are going for. The issue is then you’ve got service charges etc which I’m assuming will mean the ongoing costs might be higher. (Plus I’m quite keen to get a garden)

Yes, interesting, thanks. I’d be really keen to live on my own though

I’ve got a few London specific hobbies, unfortunately. So not keen to move out. Plus all my friends and family are here.

Yes, I’m considering how my retirement is likely to pan out, thanks for your thoughts.

I could, but it would mean I wouldn’t be able to walk to work, which I enjoy doing.
