I'll preface by saying that I'm London born and bred, also that I love my job and really need to be in London for it for the next few years - so leaving really doesn't feel like an option right now.
We have one DD. That's probably our limit but we really want three bedrooms so we can have space to work from home regularly, making it more feasible to manage pick ups etc around our jobs once DD is in school.
Other requirements: we'd love a garden but get that that's unlikely. Failing that we'd dearly love at least a balcony for the hot days. Regretfully we won't consider ex-council (which is limiting) because we've seen too many properties (including one we had to pull out of purchasing) that have been whacked with really enormous major works bills in the last few years, and we can't take that financial risk.
Commute of up to 60 mins to central London. Good schools.
Budget is 400k, 425 tops - but that would have to be good to go/no refurb required.
I'm finding Rightmove pretty disheartening at the moment - hoping the combined wisdom of Mumsnet can inspire me. Where would you look?
