Looking for some advice on which areas in London are best (ie most affordable) for buying a property.
I’m a first time buyer looking for a house (rather than a flat), but willing to compromise on space for location and condition. I’d prefer to have a smaller house - but which doesn’t need a huge amount of work immediately - in a more central area that’s close to transport links. I’m happy to do work on the house over the years though - just would prefer to move in somewhere that doesn’t need a complete immediate renovation job.
Any advice on areas I could look at please?
I’ve been looking mainly at Streatham and really like that area (nice parks, good amenities and shops, have visited the area a few times and it still seems kind of affordable-ish). I also looked at Ealing and Acton, but I think those are out of my price range. I know this is a tricky question, as lots of variables, but grateful for any advice.
