Surprised not to see Wood Green mentioned here. I was told it was some kind of stratospheric 'sweet spot' but the 784 terraced houses I have bought on the basis of that sage advice have been severely outperformed by places like Hangar Lane. If only Wood Green had a gyratory....and an actual cross rail station instead of an aspirational one.

Future XRail stations are much better as they are less crowded. Have you ever tried using an actually railway station in London? They are full of oligarchs that have bought all the property in London to leave empty. You can't move for kleptocrat Russians and Belgian dentist-gangsters.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a contingent railway station as much as the next man. On Thursdays I like to wait for the train home on the retired Eurostar platforms at Waterloo safe in the knowledge that they may start operating trains from there again at some unspecified point in the future. You can be sure that if and when they do the price of shoddy property in some unremarkable South London dumps will more or less be unaffected.

Let me see, woodgreen, zoopla .... 7.58% in the last 12 months.

Not to be sniffed at as a regular yearly performer.

It is actually down 34% in the last three weeks when measured in real crossrail terms.

When a 2 up 2 down makes a quarter of a million in four years, with an avalanche of estate agent letters still begging to buy or rent, believe me, you really don't care.
