Sorry, cross-post from the property board, but hoping someone can help! We are currently living near Twickenham and, with baby number 3 on the way, we are completely priced out of our area for a proper size house (our budget is around 400k, whereas a good size 3 or bed family home now costs in excess of a million pounds ). I've been looking toward Purley as it seems a lot cheaper but still a nice green area with good commuter links into London. Can anyone tell me what it's like living there with children? Is it a good place to invest, in terms of capital gains and/or rental potential if we were ever to move? How about toddler groups and shopping? Which stations are the quickest/cheapest for commuting into the centre?
Any advice or suggestions for other places to look greatly appreciated!
