Yeah we’re still hopefully that we can complete on our process. But the whole thing recently has maybe made us think whether long, long term we’ll stay in London. For now we love living here and don’t see ourselves commuting but who knows what the future holds.
I’ve been running trails around where the new house is and I can do a 10-20km loop without having to leave the Epping forest - can’t wait 🙏🤞

yeah I hear that in terms of getting back is a pita. I generally wfh but on the occasions I have to get down to the smoke it needs some thinking. I suppose really it's not about distance from London but distance from your fast connection.
we settled on the lovely village of Ixworth. Not for from Bury St Edmunds. Or Ipswich if you go the other way on the quaint train that bounces between the two. commuting every day would hurt. 2 or 3 days a week though and got to say that might be doable.
there was a house on the Modern House last year when we finally bit the bullet. It was in Huddersfield so no go. we put offer in house that was on wowhaus here in Suffolk but came up short. But both highlighted how much more you get if you can take the leap and get further away.
Good luck dude. I thought you were some way along making a purchase. but as you say these times are throwing up food for thought
