what can we get for 500K an hour from london?

[newgirl]

ok its a pretty open brief but i am getting fed up living in a small house that seems to cost a lot. Will we get anything more for our money or is just as expensive that near to london?

Bloody hell - I just read that as £500k an hour IN London!

Well in Brighton you could get something gorgeous in a good area near good schools

Probably my house - three bed semi detached (room for extension) in best part of Guildford with a 100ft garden, great view, one minute from the downs, easy walking distance of great schools (4-11), five minute walk to centre of Guildford

Cambridgeshire?

An hour by train puts you in Brighton, Around Ashford is very good, rail links 30 min from London)Property is cheap there(relatively).

Where do you need to get to in London?

Nice houses and excellent state and private schools one hour's commute from Charing Cross in direction of Ashford (Marden, Pluckley, Staplehurst or Headcorn stations).

ashford very cheap with nice surrounding villages

Manningtree train Station is an hour from Liverpool Street. It is lovely around that area.

Which part of London will you be commuting to?

Billericay in Essex is nice. About 35 mins from Liverpool street. Fab schools (primary and secondary and one good independent) Low crime rate.

500k would get you a decent sized 4 bed detatched.

Lots of towns in Hertfordshire, 20-30 minutes to Kings Cross/Farrington, good schools.... should easily get a good-sized semi or detached family house for your money.

You should be able to get a mansion in Peckham....

No even in Peckham. We saw a small detached 4 bedroom house with a small garden in Peckham and it was £775,000 (admittedly on Dulwich side of Peckham).

how many beds?

Should be able to get a whole floor in a flat I reckon!!
Well near Dulwich what do you expect? There are some lovely parts there.

4 beds walking distance to picadilly line tube not basd area I've lived there. www.findaproperty.com/displayprop.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&pid=409428&agentid=01382

ashford nice, got eurostar and normal trains (around 50-60mins oin fasat train to london)

Headcorn in Kent lovely, small village, nice shops, good school but £'s and apparently according to rightmove no houses for sale there?
