Yes, yes, of course we have been unbelievably lucky that we chose to live somewhere that became gentrified and therefore have made a lot of money on our house.
However.
We now feel like we have less and less in common with the people who live here. We are 49 and 51 and have good but not outstanding incomes.
I have just discovered that my new neighbours (who paid an extraordinary amount for their extremely average terraced house) are newlyweds in their early 30s. They are going to be doing building works, so I am imagine an extension and a loft conversion.
We are going to have nothing whatsoever in common with them are we?
I sincerely yearn for more authentic London living. Either inner city or further out and less pretentious and overpriced than where we are now.
Such a pita to have to move though! And nothing on the market .
