Thanks

Remember the golden rule:
Buy the worst kept house in the best street you can. You can fix the house, you cannot move it!

You may well struggle within the M25. I'm in Essex and there are villages close to the M25 but still outside it where your budget would be tight. On the other hand, as you move further from the M25 the prices drop reasonably quickly.

Go just outside to Brentwood or it's surrounds and you might find something.. Go further out to Rayleigh and you certainly will but it's not as rural as Hockley where you will struggle."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0
