^Know how you feel, the last 12 months' rise has been absurd. When we started looking last year, we were considering the Warner flats near Lea Bridge Road on for about £180/£190k. Now you'll be lucky to get one of those for less than £300k. You haven't missed the boat, the boat's just moved. We decided to look for something in Stratford/Maryland instead. Not as nice, but your money goes further.
I think hippy hit the nail on the head:
Not living in your castle with some spare coin is better than having an unaffordable mortgage.
