Where would I park my camper van that doesn't exist yet but might?
Leytonestone is full of crazies. Wanstead flats is nice though.
Fully prepared to learn about gouging 'service' charges and would use that to negotiate heavily on price. If it ever got anywhere near that stage. The place might be shit.
I'd also be worried about the service charges applicable to that house. I work with someone who has one of the flats in the Olympic village and he was complaining the other day about his service charge and the additional charge everyone has to pay to contribute towards the upkeep of the Olympic park too. It sounded pretty painful but I can't recall the exact figures he was discussing.
Presumably he read his fucking lease before putting the money down on the flat? Or did these charges just appear out of nowhere?

Oh he read his lease (he's a barrister as it happens) but the charges from what he has said have spiked quite significantly over the last couple of years. I've no idea what the figures are, but if it's done on square footage basis then the park contribution he's referring to might mean you're in for a reaming on a house of that size.

If my street is anything to go by, people with mountain bikes all drive VW Californias.
You can count at least 3 of them on a typical day.

I got sent this one yesterday. 4 bed new build with gated parking for under £700k https://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-75154615.html
Although I thought most people with camper vans stored them at some secure storage place rather than at their house.

Personally if I had nearly a million quid to spend I would not buy one of those houses in the Olympic park. I know someone that lives in one actually (friend of a friend ) and I think he paid 800k for his a couple of years back .
Personally if I had that sort of money I would put it into a place like this .

It's a little bit more suburban but only just over a ten minute ride from the the Olympic park, and a much more family friendly and interesting place to be.
