Anywhere in the local area.

Not just the suburbs, you can get 4 bed houses fairly central to Guildford for £400,000 - £500,000.

You can, but there are very few of them, and unlikely to be in the greatest of areas. Typically north of the A3.

Actually there is about 40. (granted - I looked for recently sold ones too) I just checked. So there are plenty available.

If you were to look now there are 6 - that isn't a lot - even very ordinary 4 bed semis go for well over £500k.

You're talking about 2 totally different markets.

I'm sure the vendor is gutted that you won't be placing an offer.

Also....

If you want to go to smaller towns in the area...Farnham is a nice enough town. You can get 4 bed properties here for less than that £490,000 2 bed Guildford flat.


.

Ah,
That'll be the part of Farnham only known as Farnham by those that have just moved there. Known to everyone else as Aldershot...

For that sort of money near me in South herts, you'd be getting a 3 bed house

Zone 6, walking distance to the train station, 25 minutes into Kings Cross, in the catchment area of a few decent schools.

So £490k for a 2 bed flat? No thanks. You'll get a newbuild 2 bed flat for about £350k - https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/find-your-home/england/hertfordshire/borehamwood/gemini-park

Waste of money. Better off having a life and moving a bit down the road...

I am OUTRAGED that there's "help to buy" on any property, anywhere, at this price. H2B should be for poorer people.... not the wealthy!

Guildford's a lovely city, very convenient for commuting to London.

804 sq ft is very large for a 2 bed flat.

The combination costs.

I don't agree that 804 sq ft is very large for a 2 bed flat. I live in a 2 bed flat with about 1050 sq ft (plus a garage for storage) and it feels nicely spacious but not vast.

I live in a 2-bed house, that has to include space for stairs and a top landing, and it's about 750 sq ft. I'd say 804 is large and 1050 is pretty vast.
