What it costs
Half the homes for sale in the Faroe Islands are asking more than DKK 2,600,000 — about £298k — and half less. That is 25% below the middle of the 31 islands on this site.
Cheaper, if the number above is the problem: Grenada (£241k), Belize (£188k), Bahrain (£180k), Dominica (£154k). Search every island by budget.
Costs about the same: Vanuatu, St Kitts & Nevis, Cyprus — worth a look if you have not fixed on a place.

What this page does not tell you
Nothing here is tax, residency or immigration advice, and we do not publish rules we cannot source — those change, they differ by nationality, and getting them wrong costs you far more than a search does. Take them from the island's own government. Prices are asking prices from agents' own sites, not achieved prices. Flight times are estimates and routes change with the season.
