Believe us, house prices in the UK, especially the south, are STUPID expensive.. ow any first time buyer could buy is beyond me..
Our flat, as an example (admittedly we're in London, but not one of the nicer areas!) is small - one bedroom, the tiniest bathroom ever, a lounge and kitchen.. around 600sq ft is worth about £220,000.. so $400k roughly.. doesn't even have a shower in it.. no outside space what so ever.
In our planned move out of London, we will be able to buy a 2 bedroomed semi detached house with a small garden.. or 3 bedroom mid terrace..I'll send you my postcode via email and you can look us up on Google World.. that will show you how little space there is here!! And London isn't unusual, which is a shame..
