yep
using me as the specific example, you can get a beautiful 2 bed for about £80k where my cousins live in yorkshire. i could afford that on manchester wages, and i could commute to manchester from there.

£80k wouldn't get me a cardboard box where my dad is. this is my point. either bloo bloo about not being able to afford cheshire, or suck it up and rent in cheshire or buy elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure your wages in Manchester would stretch to more than an 80K mortgage.

How many high powered solicitor firms are there out in the middle of nowhere in Yorkshre where you can buy these 80K cottages?

It'll be the middle of nowhere petrol stations in Yorkshire
that'll be her biggest problem when she comes to refuel her 25mpg car when she travels to her high powered firm in Manchester.
