This appeals to me / us

https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/find-your-home/england/london/stratford/chobham-manor/the-moselle-b-template

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?

HA HA North London. You joker.

Stratford, especially the Olympic park area, is more and more looking like a nice place to live, it has a clean European city vibe especially in the summer time.

Walking distance form Hackney wick, Victoria park actually and London Fields which I am sure you know are the only places worth going in London.

I would thoroughly recommend one of those builds and the area.

Hopefully, they'll have either entirely displaced all of the previous inhabitants, and anyone living in - ugh - affordable housing will be gated off and using separate entrances...
