Buying a very cheap property up North

Hey there,

I'm considering buying a cheap property up North, where houses in less desiderable areas cost 20-30k.

I have right to remain in the UK, but I'm self employed and work remotely. I was told by my UK accountant that given my circumstances and if I don't become tax resident elsewhere, all I need is to be in the UK for a couple of days every year. Currently I have a house that I plan to sell. I plan to buy up North anyway and I came across these affordable houses in Grimsby and Cumbria villages.

It looks like a decent plan to buy a house, be mortgage free and continue my digital nomading life. But I may not be aware of negative implications.

My idea is to buy one of these houses, rent out a room or two to lodgers and go travelling, returning occasionally.

What risk am I taking that I may not be aware of? Has anyone done something similar?
