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.
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.
