House hunting?

[Ravello]

Have you noticed, the ensuite? it's actually just a shower in the bedroom. WTF?

London prices are mental.

True, but to make up for that there is a sofa in the main bathroom!! WTF

A one bedroom leasehold flat in East London, last bought for 250K in 2009, on market for 380K and sold to first viewer who offered 410K.

Quite how anyone thinks their hard earned 410K should be invested in a grubby 1 bed flat is beyond me.

Epitomises the whole bubble

Thinking like a poor Northerner, sadly.
A centrally located house in a trendy area in one of the world's top cities?
There's only a limited amount of them.
It'll be worth £2.5 million in 5 years.

HTH, BIKIW.

Who cares what it was 150 years ago?
150 years ago only the rich had decent accommodation and life expectancy was < 50.
What's yer bloomin point?
And that article is typical of the BS that poor journalists write. Of course by cool, they mean themselves

Very true - Been saying it for ten years, but now it's worse than ever, and one reason I'm cashing in and moving out.

Mind you, they were already saying it at every party back in the 1960s and 70s, or at least grumbling about not being able to buy a mews house for a pittance. ("only ex servants' quarters for God's sake, and would you believe they cost £40K or more, yadda yadda ... )

Meh, can't stand Camden. If I had £1.65m there are many places in London I'd rather live.
