    The credit crunch will take care of that in no time. Keep track of that house in property bee and watch the eye watering drops as the months pass.

    Exactly why the UK is going to see massive falls. I would say that property is approaching £100k more than a similar property in Surrey. Ok It might be a nice area of the UK to live in, but the jobs and money are in greater supply closer to London...

    Really? Whereabouts in Surrey? I looked at something similar four years ago in Kingston for over that price!

    Lostinrates,

    Kingston is very close to central London and you are always going to pay a premium.

    But to answer your question anywhere in the SE. Look at Guildford, £250k will get you a 3 bed semi.
  • Kingston is part of London.

    Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in south-west London.

    What does this mean?

    It's not close to central London - not even in London!

    To people outside of London, anything in the M25 is London.
