In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

    Bit vague, innit?

    More info needed. You buying for you, or buying to let? Safest as in 'price not likely to be affected by HS2'? Or are you literally looking for a safe area? Presuming for you, where will you be working? 'London' and 'Middlesex' are rather large...

    and also property prices should not crash.


    Oh right ... so you want crash proof....

    That'll be the tricky bit.

    If you're that worried why not just rent?

    London is way overpriced and all other countries in the world apart from Australia are having or had a correction...guess what..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
