At the moment a friend and I are looking for a house. She's buying, I'm renting to help with the mortgage. She'll get a foot on the property ladder and in return I'll get somewhere decent to live at low rent with a friendly landlord.
We had been looking around North West London, as that's the area we both know. That then expanded to West London, I then started to get drawn south of the river because of the drop in prices.... and now we're not sure at all!
Our criteria are pretty simple: Within 5 or 6 miles of the city centre for me on the bike and good access to an overground line that runs (either direct or with a change/tube starter) to Crystal Palace for her.
We've been looking and property up to £250k, but will be spending less. Need two bedrooms.
So where would you live? Any areas you think will be worth a hunt round that I won't have thought of?
