Why Cardiff are you working there? You should probably think of earning extra income with a second part time job and save as much as you can. If you buy a flat there will be ground rent and service charges to pay.
i have followed this with interest
Note: I have never been to Cardiff and don’t know the area
I just did a search on. Rightmove. Maximum £120k and within 5 miles from Cardiff. It returned 185 results. Removing the “flats” option this went down to 28.Apologies if I’ve missed something.I can see the point that rigolith is making.I do object to the use of “rocket science”, it’s one of the easier branches of Physics.. Try “quantum mechanics”. *
