Soldato
What is stark is the attractiveness of some of the new build properties abroad, compared to these horrible little brown/red brick boxes, with pointy roofs, and no ventilation in the UK.
In my last postcode, £250 would get you a 2 bed flat/apartment. Only one house was for sale, some grotty 3 bed terrace that you'd stick 5 students in and charge them £300pcm, then laugh all the way to the bank.

It's probably not possible most places in the UK. You'd need planning permission. Risking it without that would mean you have no address.It'll get to a point where affordable housing in London will mean a tiny boxed flat. I am surprised more people are not buying and living in shipping containers.
I was priced out to the outskirts of London but prefer the peace and quiet than a busy and noisy place.
I don't drive but it has now become a necessity. Traveling to work is not too bad and may get better very soon.
