SloveniaPhilly Garrett, a British woman earning around £55,000 annually (€64,500) with over £40,000 in savings, found that her income was insufficient to buy a suitable home in London due to high property prices. Instead of waiting, she decided to purchase a three-bedroom house in Reading for £267,000 (€313,000) in 2020. She renovated the house and rented out two rooms to generate additional income, which helped cover mortgage payments and renovation costs. Over time, the value of the house has increased significantly, now estimated at around £415,000 (€487,000). This approach allowed her to secure a larger home while reducing financial pressure through rental income.
