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...

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...
