We are in the fortunate position that we can afford to buy in London as first time buyers. We have saved the deposit ourselves, we are mid-late 20s.
Option A) Buy now in a relatively central area in Zone2/3. Get a two bedroom flat for about £500k.
Option B) Save and buy in two-three years time. Get a two bedroom flat in Zone 1 for £800k.
I think we should just get on the ladder and if we want to spend more in a few years time we can move more centrally. DP thinks that buying further out means we'll never get the chance to settle in Zone 1.
