Cyclone, thank you so much for the links!

I'll actually be mortgage free. I'm selling my own house abroad and moving back to the UK. So yes, single mother with an £80,000 budget. Cannot qualify for a mortgage as I've been away for two years.

Thank you all for your answers, I did check flat prices on righmove and yes, seems like S5 is a good option. Hopefully safe enough too.

Hi all! I'm moving to Sheffield in the next few months and will be looking at buying a two bedroom flat or house. My budget is £80,000. Can I afford anything in a safer area or should I rethink the whole move and maybe look elsewhere? Single mum of a 7 year old. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
