  • Move up north and spend that £1.125 million though and you can get stables and a swimming pool for the real baller style.

  • And when you change your mind a few years later you'll find that you can't even buy the equivalent place before it was done up as London house prices have accelerated faster than everywhere else.

    (Had that happen to more than a few friends. The number that have successfully left London and not looked back are few and far between. Even then they're reminded that if they had stuck it out for a few more years they'd be looking at a larger pile or an even earlier retirement.)

  • If I left that there London or the southeast I'd be renting my 3 bed semi out and renting up north. Anything else would be madness

  • But Homerton?

    Maybe I just have a very particular idea of where/what Homerton is that's unfair and outdated.

    I'm probably being like my mum, that time when I told her I was going to see a friend in Balham, and she responded, "alone?!"

    Homerton is probably now full of antipodeans working in the City, and people who've been priced out of Vicky Park.
