If everything you like is over budget, it appears that you simply can't afford what you want in the villages you are looking at. Looking somewhere else is the obvious answer. If you can't find anything there then it might well simply be that you have to settle for a worse house if you want to live near where your wife works. You balance that against the commute.0

Renting could be an option ......but we cannot find a house we like or isn't over budget.
TBH, if all the houses you like are over your budget, it may be that you are being unrealistic about the type of house you can afford.
If so, renting for a while won't change anything.
In fact, if prices rise whilst you're renting, you'll have to lower your expectations even further.
(But I guess that if prices fall, you might be in luck.)0 -

Thank you for joining from the USA to post that; I will assume it's not the forerunner of some spam.
You may however be unaware that in the UK "selling your house" generally means "vaguely agreeing a price at which you may or may not sell your house some months later."0 -
