It's a long time since I rented - is it normal for the weekly rent to be much less than the monthly?

It's the same amount: weekly x 52, or monthly x 12 both equal £10140 per year.

I think there's more space in this one though, if you could live with mummy and daddy for five years and save up the rent to buy.

Doh, seems obvious! I was thinking that people may only want to stay for a few weeks...

Well if it includes the width of the black gate next to it, it's a developable plot. £250k is pretty good for something you could build a home on in London.

As a total land plot , if you could get permission, yes, but the black gate also has a "garage in constant use " sign as well so not clear if that is part of the deal offered or not as a separate garage..
This is however in the ultra trendy/expensive "Walthamstow Village" part of the borough where you will currently find very few houses with an asking price of less than 600k.
