Where to buy in London on limited budget - Bromley any good?
Discussion
With work normally based around the City or London Bridge, where would you buy right now with a limited budget of around 380 - 400K?
Needs include proximity to good transport link/s and off-street (preferably secure underground) parking. Intent is to commute on two wheels most of the time with tube or train during bad weather.
Wants include 2 bedrooms rather than 1, purpose built rather than a crappy conversion, ensuite to main bedroom and hopefully a decent amount of room.
Pickings seem to be very slim on Rightmove though I'm not particularly tied to any area. Docklands would be good but is about 200K over budget at a minimum, although out towards and over the A12 and A13 show some places available in Ilford, Gants Hill, Bow, Barking, etc. Generally undesirable areas I'm guessing.
Another option might be Bromley South. It's not on the tube but supposedly has a 16 minute train into London and probably has a nice 'town' feel about it. rather than the normal stinky, overpopulated fug of most London areas.
A lot of chancers seems to think throwing in a laminate floor and some paint equates to a 50K price rise.
