I'm feeling very jaded about the London property market. Prices are off the scale and self employed mortgages are painful to get. The fact I am able to show long term regular income and excellent credit record doesn't seem to count for much because for some reason I am deemed as being a higher risk than a permanent employee when most of my contracts have greater notice periods and compensation attached than a permie would have.
This is perhaps amplified by the fact that I just found a large family home on Lake Geneva for sale for the same price as my two bed flat in Barnes.
I think it is fair to say that when me and Mrs Hedge get round to buying somewhere together there is an increasing likelihood that it will not be in London and might even not be in the UK.
