  • this is crazy inflated. Snaresbrook seems very very fought-over. what one school and a couple of traditional butchers can do

    As always, what's the alternative? If you want 1,500 sqft, green space / kids' stuff and a reasonable commute, what can you get for no more than £1 mm that's better?

    In South / West London that house is £1.3+ mm.

  • £1 million is quite a lot. There are plenty of alternatives with less of a commute around that area, just no artisanal butchers or wealthy neighbors... but still the same park. I think the lack of alternatives are determined by someone's priorities. The whole South/West London isn't my cup of tea, bit too much golf club and peloton bike

    It certainly is and I didn't mean to insinuate that it wasn't, but I don't see much on RM that combines such proximity to the Tube and the park without being close to the main roads.

    Generally I think the assertion that people pay over the odds just to be near wanky shops and not live near C2DE groups is overdone. The causality runs the other way (i.e. people get priced out of good locations).
