Homes in UK under $200K

$200,000 (~£160K) unlocks Manchester's outer suburbs (Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale), Liverpool fringes, Sheffield's north, Leeds outer ring, most of Wales, and Glasgow's West End flats. You can buy actual three-bed terraced family homes with yards. London and the south are still out of reach entirely except for studio flats in unpopular zone 4-6 neighborhoods. Factor stamp duty: £0 under £125K, then 2% to £250K. Non-UK residents pay an additional 2% surcharge. Leasehold versus freehold matters — many cheap flats are long leasehold with escalating ground rents.
