Owning your own home

Cheaper property in the UK is usually value by number of bedrooms more than by price per sq ft. It'd be much better to buy a large one bed than buy a small two bed and make it a one.

Of course, but Sparky is struggling to find a one bed at the right price and he might be able to afford this place.
He could always switch it back to sell.

Also, great point on checking with the council.
Trust nothing the EAs say.
