The cost of property varies enormously. Some one-bedroom flats in the centre of London come with an eye-watering price tag of over a million pounds!
Generally, a flat is cheaper than a house, and larger cities are more expensive than rural areas. Expect to pay around £125000 for a two-bedroom flat in a small town.
