What bearing does meeting a new partner have on you buying your own home? Are you wanting to take their income into account and buy a place together?

I would want to meet someone, rent and then buy together like most people.
I could afford my own place
But seems logical and less stress doing it together with someone rather than the upheaval of buying own place and then selling it a year or two later with all the fees and stress attached.
And it would be double the issues attached if any future partner had their own place.
I earn above average UK income so I wouldn't need to rely on anyone and as you can see have my own savings

I guess I'm asking: if I bought a 140 000 apartment with 1-2 bedrooms in of the top 3 sought after areas in my city (leafy, affluent, good amenities, schools, middle class, etc), would I be able to sell it down the line (short term)?

questionss

If schools are part of what makes the area desirable then at the very least you'd want a 2 bed in terms of renting or selling in future
