Dear Forum Members!
I'm new here so I figured I'll start with adding some value (well, probably for someone this will be actually useful).
I read everywhere that property is F*cking expensive in the UK and the USA, so I advice you to look for cheaper places. For example, where I live, which is Budapest, which is a nice international city in the middle of Europe, Hungary.
Living costs in Hungary are much cheaper than it is in Western countries and housing is way cheaper. So I think if you're open to travel and new experiences you should check it out. If you have a more or less automated business which makes like 10k a month you can live like a king in Budapest. For comparison feel free to use this site (not an ad, its not mine, but it can be useful)

So for housing, if you're interested I help you with this little cityguide.
1 million HUF is approximately 3.7k USD, of course it differs on where you change it.
http://realestatehungary.hu/ helps you with the browsing, the price range is in millionHUF as you can see.
Budapest, Hungary's main city and a fun place to live in, is divided to 23 districts. There are nicers ones and less safe ones.
Use this for info: http://www.budapestbylocals.com/image-files/budapest_crime_map.jpg
Blue being the number of registered crimes per 100 000 inhabitants in 2009
Red is number of registered criminals per 100 000 inhabitants in 2009.
It's basically the same in 2015 as well, regarding the districts comparable safety.
Also if you're browsing houses you'll notice that some areas (like XXIII, XVIII, XVII) are more rural than others. District I, II, III, V, XIII, XIV being the better neighborhoods. The main "tourist districts" are I and V.
If you can't find good property in Budapest you might also want to consider our "county capitals" which are Hungary's county's biggest cities. I personally recommend Pécs (European Capital of Culture 2010) and Szeged, but others might work for you too. Cost of living is even cheaper outside of Budapest.
Just do some research or PM me and I'll help you!
EDIT: Originally I listed these:

but as someone pointed out I f*cked up the currency exchange and they actually go for 444k, which is still a high price. I'll try to find for 45k in neighborhoods that's nice. Sorry for the inconvinience, I was in a hurry, had little sleep and such.
