You’re paying for potential and location..
Yes, of course. We've lived in W2 for eight years but want something a bit bigger that doesn't mean uprooting completely and having to start again. And we have new small human that would benefit from a garden.

benefit from a garden
I'd just say that while fresh air is lovely make sure it's suitable for them. We had a massive garden in Brighton but it was steeply tiered with either concrete or decking or rock gardens or hypodermics. We've actually moved into a place with a much smaller garden (about a fifth the size) but the interior is enormous by comparison and having a 40-odd-metre length of corridor/open-plan for him to run through is a game changer.

In same position in SW, other half is from Yorkshire and grew up in fields and countryside and wants a garden, and another room in case we try for little person no.2.
Places that are already modernised are out of our price range and the ones that need doing up are at the top of what we can afford with an extra £50k-£70k to make them work for modern living.

I agree with this. Lot of work required for a million pound house. You’re paying for potential and location..
