For a while, DH and I have been looking to buy a house near where we are renting in Wimbledon. Our lease comes up in May, and we would rather buy than continue renting. We haven't found anything as of yet. I am wondering what other areas we should consider. We love where we live now, but think there probably are other areas that would suit as well that we haven't considered. Loads of places probably offer better value too. We are looking for a 4 bed house with a sizable garden, nice kitchen, and good sized bedrooms that is still convenient for transport. DH has to commute occassionally to Chelsea and less often to Farringdon. Would like to keep commutes to under an hour ideally--hour and a half max. We have a baby and a large dog. I don't have a UK license as I am an American and only moved here a couple years ago(DH is British), so I would like to be able to get around without a car still. That said we would like a parking spot still for future use. We have a budget of £1.5 million. I know that is a lot, but it doesn't get you anything that actually feels that expensive in Wimbledon. Any ideas of where else to consider?
