Hard to say, but I saved like hell and then looked for houses no bank would ever lend on, and no landlord would want. Got a dumpy old architecturally protected house on three acres an hour from the city (by train) for €68k. Of course it's a huge pain in the ass (thatcher started yesterday) but I had almost no buying competition.
