Some train companies do a sort of part time season ticket - I think Thameslink do. Besides I could commute to central London for nowt by bike from where I live in zone 4, easy peasy from zone 2.Lucky_Duck_2 said:The practical problem is that three days is usually the break even point for a season ticket so ignoring the buggeration of travelling in there isn’t likely to be a cost saving
Some do multi-journey tickets too, though they never seem to advertise them wellYbe said:These are all great comments. Things I’ve not noticed. Any similar comments on the below ones?
The outside of that building is seriously ugly, but it's the best layout you've shared so far and with 2 bedrooms the most versatile. Dedicated parking is a massive bonus too.
More importantly, what do *you* think of these places? You're the one that's going to have to live there, not us.1 -
The issue I have with some 1 beds in the area selling for 400k+ is that, Taylor Wimpey are selling a new build starting 380k in the area. I wonder why.0

The block has the air of social housing though (with potential downsides if the social landlord is the freeholder). Also looks like it might tick the "deck access" box which some lenders don't like.Herzlos said:Ybe said:These are all great comments. Things I’ve not noticed. Any similar comments on the below ones?

Look at the price history and see what you think, well under 300k would be my bet.Ybe said:
