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.

I moved out almost 10 years ago to Surrey, but I still have investment property there, I do work part time in London, but I don't have to travel in during the rush hour(s), so commuting isn't that bad.

It is a nightmare around there - every time I go there I don't like it at all. So many people you can barely walk!
Then maybe (based on your age) you were one of the lucky once who bought property in those areas and saw the price quadruple and more over 10 / 15 years! When I see those stats in Zoopla I get a chill down my spine!0 -
