For those outside the uk, a central London studio / one bed is 1.5k or more for something decent. This really is a steal for this standard, location and size! Beautiful home 😍👌🏿

I live in Greenwich and I knew immediately whereabouts this house/flat conversion place is. It’s a very well known building near Greenwich park. For London - Greenwich is one of the best kept secrets for a reasonable priced area that is quite central, well connected, with plenty of green spaces and fair spaced period flats/houses. If you’re not bothered about not living on a “SW” post code - this is the last frontier of where you can actually buy a reasonable size home in london. But beware - with the growing size of Canary Wharf, and the Elizabeth line now open - it’s ‘affordability’ won’t last long!

Tell me about it! Every time I see articles about Greenwich/Blackheath being the best place to buy for young families I cry on the inside. We’re crossing our fingers to buy in SE, hopefully closer to elephant and castle actually because we’d like to be on a tube line.

For London…that is a bargain. I also got a property July 2021 which was 2 bed 2 bath in zone 2 for about £500 cheaper than it would normally be and on a two year lease, so we avoided the recent hikes. Not sure I’d choose the flat with windows you can’t open and separate toilet / bathroom but it’s a gorgeous property in a beautiful London borough.

high utility bills but if they bought, far lower property taxation vs USA as an example. you would only need to pay stamp duty as a one off and then very very low property taxes - usually around 4 figures a year vs. US's more typical 5 figures a year for an equivalent property. i guess it would be a case of what's easier to hold onto long term

She said interest rates are high. N tge US, rates are higher than they were a year ago, but a year ago they were historically, super low. They are still low now, but I believe they are going to increase even more, and historically they still are very low now. Is London's interest rates very different than the rates in the US?

It's a nice flat but you should buy now, nothing beats having your own space where you can put a toilet where you want and get windows to open! Just bought and I'll never look back. You might think you can stay there for two years, but we've been evicted every year no fault eviction. Landlords will be evicting everyone before the no fault evictions come through to get more rent in this market.
