  • I know it's not for everyone but I'm glad I'm off the London rollercoaster. We shipped out to Hertfordshire and houses here are showing some increase in value (5-10% in 6 months) but in the current market, how can you put down any roots in London when you might be priced out of upgrading a few years down the line?

    Where abouts? We're in the process of moving to Tring, some nice Chiltern cycling round there.

  • We're in Hitchin - 25/35 minutes to London with a last train at 1am. Lovely countryside and great cycling, esp. Heading out to Cambridge.

    Houses are around £150K less than in London and my commute is less than an hour (though it does cost £3K p/y).

  • Agree with the pros, our last train from Euston is 1.30AM which was better than when we lived in town. We've sold a one bed and are buying a four bed detached for not much more, hopefully we can whack on an extension and benefit from a continued price rise in the Home Counties. It helps that I value a workshop over being able to wobble home from town on my bicycle.

    @sparky you were right there bro, now you have to come visit when we've completed!

    Likewise to forumengers, LFGSS hospitality available in Tring if you get lost or need BBQz.
