    It's not a case of can't afford it, I just can't justify spending the money. I'm in London less than 6 months of the year. The running costs of an apartment in London are quite high (dead money) ele. gas, service charges, insurance and council tax etc. It may also put me on Hectors radar.

    I can now rent or flat share for less than a tenth of the cost.

    It would only make sense to buy if there was capitol appreciation, not going to happen in an over priced market.

    We're still waiting to exchange/complete on a 2 bed (over 3 floors) with off street parking and a garage. Got it for 220.

    but it's in Hampton Hill so I'm not sure if that counts as London or Middlesex

    250ish sounds about right - depends on the neighbourhood.

    You'll have to decide for yourself if the ares are decent.

    The crash in London has not happened. The government gave lot of money to the housing associations who purchased empty apartments from builders to stop them from going bust. No over supply no crash.

    Not sure there will be a crash in London due to demand. Allsops auctions sales are slower but no crash yet. I would not buy in London, I was thinking about it but changed my mind. Bought in SSH, weather is much better

    At last a sensible answer.

    Give us some more specifics - like how much are you looking to spend for what and how close in to the centre etc

    ;-)


    Around 600k-900k maybe more depends on what I see.

    If you have to ask, you're too poor to live in London, peasant.
    HTH.
