Have to agree with this
With price falls looming, you might get more for your money very soon.0 -
If it was ONLY one or the other, get the 1 bed flat.
People live in noise, cars, trains, neighbors....you'll get used to it.
And secondary glazing is good to reduce sound

Price wise. How do they compare now ?Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

How much is a two bed??
Personally I wouldnt touch a 1 bed or bedsit with a bargepole given the uncertainty at the moment.
At least with a 2 bed then so long as you can keep paying the mortgage, there is no need to move if your circumstances change, and you could always get a lodger.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
If you have to choose and act swiftly, go for the one with the bus route. You can install double or even triple glazing, but buses are much harder to sort.
Hence I reckon the single bed will hold value better than a studio.
Just my opinion though!0 -

In 3 months you won't even hear it anymore, I promise. Definitely go for the extra space.0 -
Which part of London and what sort of price range? A one bed flat in Hoxton is very different to a one bed in say East Ham or Plaistow!
There may be a third option if you move out very slightly.
