  • I know this isn't actually news, but... was out in West London last night and for a pokey 2 bed flat (much like mine) you are looking at around 1mil. 1 mil. For a 600 sq foot flat. Insanity. Location really is everything (not news at all).

  • I'm on the border of Greenwich and Charlton.
    Would put my house at around 425k

    Move half a mile toward Greenwich and the same house is 650k
    Another half a mile, 800ish
    Another half a mile (in the posh bit). Easily over a million.

    It's an expensive 15 minute walk.

  • Which is why a 4 bed house in Walthamstow can be circa £900k. The wave of money washes outwards and suddenly places which were "i'd rather die than live in xxxx" for a certain sort of people are now somewhat desirable.

    So part of me is slightly annoyed that I now live cheek by jowel with sort of people who previously would rather have died but they sold their two bed flat overlooking Clissold Park for £750k and needed a house now that little Hattie has arrived.

    The other part of me is quite pleased that I can now get decent coffee at the end of my street.
