Bit of research would’ve told you all of that before moving out into the arse-end of the cotswolds.
Which bit, exactly, is the “ arse-end of the cotswolds”? I live at the very southern edge of the Cotswolds, close to Castle Combe and Biddestone, and Bath, and it covers a huge area, extending up almost as far as Stow-on-the Wold, and east well into Oxfordshire, and I can’t think which bit is the “arse-end” ‘cos none of it’s cheap.

Do you have enemies in Bourton-on-the-Water?
Maybe Coronavirus has kickstarted the middle class exodus. It’s now obvious there isn’t the need for so much work to be centred in London, with WFH, Zoom etc. London really, really won’t miss people like this. Self entitled **** coming to a village near you:

The London property market has always been mental, so not much has really changed in the past 30 years. I bought a small 1 bed flat in Haggerston 15 years ago, when Haggerston was an up and coming place. Sold it 10 years later and made a £500k profit.
@Countzero “arse-end” as in not near large conurbation areas with a Hospital within a few min drive etc., not as in scuzzy and not desirable.
London has been behind Cornwall as the most searched for area for properties for sale on Rightmove, recently, but this will soon revert back to type as the country moves back to normality, international movement etc, I expect.

I agree, the entitled bullshit from that author is staggering, zero understanding of life outside her privileged bubble. They think everyone is earning 300k a year and has a trust fund.

Did we read the same article?
Main thing I recall was her neighbour's oil tank leaked under their house and they had to move out for 6 months - which would be pretty crap regardless.

Converted garage - beautifully done - but just 28 Square meters (300ft) for £450k.
In a back alley in Hackney, just one row of houses from a dual carriageway....

Nicely done.
There are loads of those near us in Cambridge, lots of ends of gardens / garages get turned into tiny houses which then sell for a small fortune.
I have avoided looking at this thread. Sold 20 years ago a large flat fronted early victorian 4 bed end of terrace with decent walled gardens in Hackney's glamorous London Fields (not even entirely ironic aty the time), 3 stories plus cellar, big rooms (20 x 12ft living room, bedrooms on each floor same size. Bought, did up and sold in a hurry for too little). Had I sold it ten years later I'd have the house I'm in now, plus £1m in the bank (according to zoopla - someone at work asked me what road and what house number, then made me cry). Christ knows what it'd be now. And in the bargain I slow tracked my 'career' and pissed off my kids, all for a bit of climbing, surfing, mountain biking, and not having a mortgage in my 30s. Swings and...
