Minimum price for a decent property in London ...

[BlasterBates]

I find the escalating house prices in London deeply depressing. I'm looking for a bigger place now so my wife and I can start a family but to do so means facing a lifetime of terrifying debt.

Have you had a look at renting ?

I find the same thing with Monte Carlo. Depressing that I cannot afford even the smallest flat overlooking the marina.

Morning Loser. Have you got a carpenter in to remove that chip yet?

No your still the splinter in my side, I've removed your body, but your head is so fecking big it just won't come out..)

not too expensive and HUGE

With a contract on £400 a day in Canary Wharf and a decent accountant that should be easily affordable, and if you end up out of work just move to Middlesborough or somewhere like that paying £100 a month until yuo get a new contract

You could share with 6 girls from eastern Europe. Purely to cut down on costs.

It amazes me how stupid you are , poor "lord".
You will carry on your boring life, dreaming of that 1mil £ property...in the meantime, I live in my nice 1 bed. flat in London (I will move to SW19 at the end of the year...). Should I send you some pictures with my 8 bedroom house back home in Romania?
In fact with some dosh put aside I prefer to invest in flats in Eastern Europe (Romania for example) purely for the fact that prices go up 20-30% per year, and a flat is still around 50.000 £. By the time you end up paying an overpriced house, I will have a couple of flats rented and their value doubled...
I'm not patriotic. Show me the same increase in London and I will invest here. But I prefer to invest 200.000 £ in 4 flats which increase 20%, not just one flat that goes up 7%. Purely cold business...

See ya...

I was there last year...rent between 800 - 1000 euro for a flat in a nice area...the same thing as London, except congestion charging, overcrowded tubes and motorways, council tax, asylum seekers etc.

Glad you took it as the light hearted joke it was meant to be !!
But as I have you at the end of my reel, I may aswell point out that been there, done that, bought the 2 bedroomed property in SW19 (Putney) 1998 for 120k, sold in 2002 for 250k, then bought in BS4 (Clifton Village) 4 bed apartment for 265k, overlooking the Mall 2 mins from Suspension Bridge. Still own it, still rent it out, worth double what i paid. So to the idiots who keep thinking i'm skint...

Glad to hear that you did that! Did you get a mortgage or just cash?
In Eastern Europe they still do 60% of transactions with cold cash
