Owning your own home

Only in London where property prices are very, very disproportionate to salaries.

Seriously, what sort of person wanting to buy a 1 bed flat has a spare £300k?

We bought a three bed flat for £190,000.

Yes, it needs a lot of work, but the identical but better decorated flat upstairs went for £250,000 months before we bought ours.

There is a lovely one bed downstairs which is in great order, going on the market for £120,000 shortly.

So, more affordable and nice housing stock is out there, simply saying "all decent 1 bed flats are £300k" is not a true reflection of the market.
