I would see a broker. To be honest with you 30k isnt going to go that far as everyone wants a deposit now, and in Bucks, you dont get a lot for 150k. Especially if you will need that cash for refurbing.

I personally think you wont find what you are looking for yet.

In Lincolnshire 30K would give you a 50% deposit on a 3 bed terraced(where I am anyway).Is the OP prepared to travel?

Well up here property is fairly cheap compared to south, and there are many properties available that could be renovated.

For example http://www.lowsorkney.co.uk/propertydepartment.htm

two plots of land there i see, although that would be a new build, i can assure you there are many properties needing renovation

There are also other benefits like little to no crime, ie you can leave your tools on an unlocked site and be sure they will be their the following day

Skilled builders are also very much in demand, so if you wanted you could earn that way as well

I'm thinking don't give up the day job

Self employment does require a certain amount of drive and desire and in the this market you have to be pretty bloody clever. You have to ask the right questions at the very least.

You're not going to affect my business at all so I don't care how much advice I give but I you don't seem to have the gall Sorry.

Thanks for your advice. But I prefer to stay where I am at the moment just because it's so cold down there.
