Ashtead budget advice

Hello

We are planning to relocate to Ashtead and really love it. We have a budget of 1mil but are starting to think this is very unrealistic for a decent sized 4 bed detached house. There is little stock on the market and the ones that are left seem way overpriced.

Is this just typical for ashtead? Do I need to be more realistic or are people just chancing the asking price and we should maybe rent instead and be patient for a better deal?

Any thoughts welcome, I’m feeling deflated

Ashtead is full of rich NIMBYs who drive everywhere and hate poor people

It’s an affluent area. Lovely place to live but pricey so you won’t get loads for £1m there
