The tl;dr of this is that if I'm going to have to live in London I might as well benefit from owning a flat here so I can benefit from the stupid property prices. Living in London and renting is the worst of both worlds: a c. 10 mile ride out to anything resembling countryside and zero property-based economic uplift.
This is why I will own until the day comes that I can leave this place, then sell and live like a king.
