    That's what I feared. Perhaps I will stay in my posh bit of London and work harder.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Assuming OP means central London, £150K is a parking space at best.


      Forget London, anywhere in South East England, 150K would get a two bed terraces house at best. Years of MEW has left prices sky high and the sellers are not willing to sell lower and end up in debt. There is a stalemate and as long as the cushy public sector workers are still having their clock in clock out 9 to 5 jobs the prices will remain inflated.

Gravesend might have cheaper houses but it is a dump.
        Train tickets are around £30 return daily, but time is money eh. For cheaper fares, you can go from Greenhithe (Blue Water) to Cannon Street in around 50 minutes for about £15 return I think , which is pretty much what I pay for from towards West London.

          Doesn't compare well to a £90/month travelcard from zone 3 though. That's a lot of money one can spend on accommodation instead.

            Ja, aber für how much can I rent the parking space pcm?

            If I could match the rent of the flat with a parking space I'd do it, fed up maintaining a flat.

              Probably a lot, but some Chav will park in it so you'll need a team of clampers nearby.
