What Can You Buy for £350,000?
At £350,000 you are firmly in the territory of the average first-time buyer purchasing outside London. In the East Midlands, South West, and North West of England, £350,000 buys a three-bedroom semi-detached or detached house in a well-established suburb with good schools and transport links. In Edinburgh, this budget reaches a three-bedroom tenement flat in desirable areas like Morningside or Marchmont. In Bristol, £350,000 covers a two-bedroom terrace in popular neighbourhoods like Bedminster or Totterdown. On the outskirts of London (Zones 4–6), £350,000 typically delivers a one-bedroom flat or a small starter flat in areas like Croydon, Ilford, or Romford.

If using a mortgage broker, their fee varies from £0 to £500. First-time buyers using a Lifetime ISA can withdraw the savings plus a government bonus of up to £1,000 per year (25% of contributions up to £4,000 annually) to help cover stamp duty and purchase costs.
