    Pros

    • new build house, should be efficient and properly wired / arranged for modern living
    • ,so no need to do anything with it before moving in
    • car port thing to put e cargo bike and camper van, get straight to the fucking golf thread
    • terrace/s
    • lots of interesting stuff nearby
    • I know the general area well, have family in Hackney
    • access to La France via Stratford Int.

    Cons

    • Freehold but assume has some awful conditions attached
    • Obvs couldn't extend / change that much if at all
    • No idea about services in the area
    • Build might be shit, warranties not worth the paper they are on
    • Community might be completely missing and / or rubbish
    • access to Europe might be revoked

    Anything I've missed, other than north [edit: of the river] London being a fucking hell hole?

  • Depreciation on new builds?
    Eurostar doesn't stop at Stratford?

    And yes, that's not North London, it's East London which is the best London.

  • it's East London which is the best London.

    West is best. It rhymes so it's fact.
