UK still has some cheaper areas. I know a guy that bought one near Burnley for £60k. Like the whole estate went to shit and so many got sold for this price. They needed a lot of work and the dude I know is a builder so he spent two years working and now it’s livable. Sadly he did it to rent out, but I would live in a shit whole. If I own it.

The town I live now is pretty rough, although we live in the nicer area but I’ve grown up working class and people ain’t that bad.

That's another thing: You can certainly buy older, cheaper objects if you're competent in doing a lot of things yourself. But with rising energy prices, the necessary transition in e.g. heating technology and so on, I wouldn't be able to do all the work that would be required to get an old house up to a somewhat modern standard where I won't be actively harming climate and paying out of my nose for gas (or even worse, oil) to stay warm in winter.
