PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! 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. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

Property developers are getting 'upbeat' about Thamesmead, Plumstead etc where there are some period properties/houses that they think will come up in price dramatically over the next few years. Charlton's prices have gone skyrocketing lately too. Woolwich is getting the DLR. Stratford though.....is Stratford (no offence to any residents). There are some areas that just stay horrible.
SE London though has doubled in certain areas since I've been here (end 05) and I missed the boat big time by not buying a house back then. What was £380k or so back then is now at £550 - 650 and it makes me vomit.
Dumb dumb pigeon (pigeon is a gullible moron in french slang)....the last London price crash was when I sold my tiny house in SW11 in the 90s. It is now worth 6x what I got for it. It has a 'garden' of 10ft x 10ft.
Where's that sick bucket???????
Repeat after moi: London is INSANE. In any font you like.0
