    That area is horrible and full of crime. (I used to live nearby).

    Cause = effect ?

      Well that was a very entertaining irony fail.

      Loving those that believed me when I said "It's in the best part of town. All the top shops are nearby."

      I would never share a link to a property I was seriously going to go for.

      I should have shared this one instead - even more of a bargain...

Lots of very nice cupboards to be had for the price of a couple of kidneys and a pancreas.
        Do you know the postcode prefix? I'm curious to see what we could swap our house for.

          Actually my only concern was whether your bush trimming skills would get you through that garden!

            That area is W8 up to roughly half way between Marloes Road and Gloucester Road at which point it becomes SW7. That isn't a straight line though, sadly, it's a bit wiggly.

            The easiest way is to draw a custom search area on Zoopla.

              Looks like we could just about be mortgage free in a 1-bed. Not sure where the 2 horses will go though.

                What sq ft is that? No more than 600 I bet.

                  I looked at a handful, and they were all around 400, which must be pokey because that's not much bigger than our lounge.

                    Ouch! That's a bedsit really. I always look at the floor plans as you can see what tricks they've pulled to claim additional rooms. I suspect at 400 sq ft and "one bed" that means the kitchen is literally in the living room.

                    The "best" kitchen I saw was the entrance corridor that runs front to back being used as the kitchen so it looks like they converted a room that probably was a kitchen into being a bedroom to say it was a two-bed property!
