    Mortgage rates are dropping and the Stamp Duty holiday ends next Spring. Pretty decent time to buy right now, depending on area. Some areas of North West have really picked up recently

      You could do that outside London if you’re set on that approach. Please also remember the market moves quickly, so you need more ££ to buy the same house next year compared to what it would be now, in some areas you could be priced out the market

      @ thanks adeola x your 100% right. I’m from London ( Shepherd’s Bush ) moved to Leeds for work and love it here. Want to be based here while my family house is In London. So I’m saving crazy to buy a house up north but I didn’t think about saving more than the listed prices your right. It goes up in value. I just hate the idea of mortgage payments. But thanks for highlighting this

      The longer you wait to be able to afford a house (even if it’s 2/3 bedder), the more expensive and longer it’ll take you to be able to afford a house. There will NEVER be enough properties for people to live in here in the uk 🇬🇧….so the rule is: buy what ever you can afford and live in till you’re able to move to that dream home, it’s a win-win situation, even if you don’t sell the flat you’ll make money from it for ever. Do not buy new build flats by the way.

    • @chisomsingz6142

      Good points there, however flats are mostly leaseholds which means in the end you "never really" own them, because ownership returns to the land owner after your tenure ends. ​
      Usually people buy flats as investment properties by charging more rent than they pay in mortgages.
      I'm sure there are people who prefer to live in flats on a leasehold basis for personal reasons, however I feel if you want to own your home plus the land it's built on, I would imagine getting a freehold house would be a better option.@@Michael.P247
