This will really depend on the area you are looking at and the market for that area.
No-body on here will be able to give you very good accurate advice without knowing a lot more info.
You really have to go do your homework.
Go to http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices and you will see a list of house prices sold.
Also start looking at the market and note how long properties are on the market for, what price are they marketed at, has the price been lowered etc etc etc etc.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

The trouble with looking for properties just outside your price range is you soon realise the difference £10,000 to £20,000 makes, and end up stretching beyond your limit.Been away for a while.0

If I had 190k to spend, I'd look mostly at the 190-200 band, but if there were some nice places up to 230k I might put in an offer at 190k - shy bairns get nae toffee - as they say round here."Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
