A woman who thought she'd never be able to afford her own home found one and paid 90% of the cost in one lump sum - after coming across cheap homes in Sweden. Sophie Falke, 28, has bought a remote house in Sweden for just €28k (£24,000) - after randomly stumbling across cheap homes listed online.
Sophie paid 90 per cent of the cost upfront - after originally believing she'd never be able to buy a house in her lifetime. Having gone on several holidays to Sweden in her childhood, Sophie finally decided to take the plunge in June.
But while browsing some “dream” homes in January this year, Sophie found a small real estate website local to Sollefteå, Sweden, which sells houses for €28k to €40k - roughly £24k to £34k.
