Out of curiousity, how long is the commute and how much less would you the cost of living is? 25%?

Roughly the sliding scale is that 250k buys you:
- a garage in London
- a small flat in central Edinburgh
- a medium sized house in Edinburgh outskirts
- a large house in Edinburgh commuter belt
- a mansion if you're prepared to drive more than an hour
- or a small island in the middle of nowhere

My commute is about 50 mins door to door - 10 min drive, 30 on train and 10 minute walk. Mind you even pre-coronavirus I was only going into the office 2 or 3 days a week, working from home the rest of the time. The train trip is actually quite nice as you go along the coast then across the Forth Bridge.
Property is much cheaper in Fife than a comparable property in Edinburgh. We got a nice 5 bedroom house in a rural area with a large garden and fantastic views for about a third less than a 4 bedroom flat in Edinburgh.
