You may have to accept that you can't buy in the area you want and look elsewhere.
We rented in Shepherds Bush for years. When it finally came to buy, we realised quickly that there was nowhere in the area we could afford. We moved to Hither Green (SE13) where we could afford a two bed flat at the time. We were priced out of there when it came to get a house but moved down to Bromley where we could afford a house and garden.
If i look back 5 years to living in Shepherds Bush, i would never have seen myself living in Bromley but we couldn't be happier.

Seriously how the hell are we meant to work on this? I've saved for years and finally have a £15k deposit and I'm earning £40k + a year, and there is NOTHING in East London-ish that I can afford. How do people do it? I am completely at the end of my tether.
