I am amazed at how prices went up in East london. Even Canada Water, where last year you could buy a 2-bed flat for 200k, you now need 300-350k. Not to mention Canary Wharf or North Greenwich which were even cheaper and they just skyrocketed in the last year. Any other consideration about the area nearby? Some people said Charlton is not so bad, or at least is up and coming. I would agree that the canary wharf district is certainly expanding as there doesn't seem any space left and that the area should become more and more valuable.

Any comment?

Charlton is a dump. Avoid. Too much council property to make it a viable long term area. Why don't you look in Aldgate East and/or Bethnal Green where I had my BTLs - central, always popular with junior City workers, and new developments coming up all the time.

Repeat
Become a rent junkie.
Prices are bound to crash next year
Oh dear, prices have risen by £150,000.00
Until the penny drops

I think property will crash after stock market bubble pops, it will hit everyone and especially people in IT - could be worse than 2000-02.

Remember - you heard it on here first.

I'd have a look at the worst places to live in the UK thread before you rush into the slums of London
