  • ^ also my plan.

    Bought our first property in Walthamstow in 1997. Everyone was like "why the f*ck do you want to live there?".

    Time changes things.

  • Holy shit you must have made a killing. Lucky!
    My Aunt was offered a flat in Barbican when it was first built for £7k. She said nah.

    There must be a lot of folks in the East End who have made a killing, all these 1mil terrace houses were being given away for a few bob to anyone who would take them when my mum lived here...

  • I'm always confused why the residents of Albert Square look so fucking miserable. Dot Cotton must be minted!

  • at the moment it is somewhere to live. back in 1997, it was a pragmatic decision as well.

    we were living in one room sub let of a housing association place in Chalk Farm.

    walthamstow was cheap. I knew the area a little. we needed somewhere to live. we bought somewhere to live.

    if only it were that simple for people now...
