Where in London ?

[Bagpuss]

I can vouch for that - some bargain flats to buy or rent down York Street or Amyand Park Road. After living here for over a year I'm staying put in Twickenham or St Margarets. Bit of a noise issue every other weekend, but apart from that some excellent pubs, cafes, restaurants and only a short hop to Richmond and surrounding parks.

** edit ** Oh, and only 25min to Waterloo by rail

Where are these bargain flats? it seems to be 200k for a bedsit ('studio apartment') above a Halal butchers.

RH do you commute to central London, if so, how do you find it ?

Also, does anyone commute from Tunbridge Wells, I really like Kent, but I've heard the commute is horrid.

I commute to Waterloo every day and walk into Southwark - takes 25min on the train - door to door is about 35min. South West trains have been a bit shaky over the past 2 weeks with engineering - had to leave 15min earlier - but normally ok. Trains run every 10-15min. Great for Reading, London, Bristol and Windsor.

BI... never heard of that pub - I'll check it out! The best one is the Fox - 17th Century and lively locals.

Renting - seen them as low as 361 for a room, 1000 for a 2-bed apartment, and these are decent flats too, none of your student rubbish.
200k for a 2 bed is normal - Snellers is a good agent (did i just say those words???)

??? oh.
I've had no bad experiences with them - but probably 'cos I know the owner's daughter. I know Dexters * allegedly * screwed over our neighbours with the deposit etc - not aware of similar with Snellers.

Erk

200k!! 200K? I thought this was a contractor's forum.

£200k is just the stamp duty
