If your location is still N Yorkshire then you don't have to look far for a 172 at £70 per tacho hr or an Archer at £80 per tacho hr. No initial outlay. No hangarage, maintenance costs or home landing fees. £65 per month standing charge covers both aircraft.
If you are hour building, that (tacho) cost can constitute a significant saving.
Wiping out the monthly in short order.
There's also the Day VFR requirement with a Permit aircraft which, with our weather, you might find limiting. I do.
