Property Mad

I must have gone property mad, or at least I am obsessed with property search at the moment. No success so far, we have decided to expand our search to Chiswick area in a desparate bid to get a house.

According the article today on BBC, the house price has gone back to Sep 2008 level, which is not far from the peak price. Strange phenomenon, where does all the money come from? I was at the westfield shopping centre last weekend,the popular shops are packed,Recession, what recession??!!

Anyway, the sun is still shining, so there is still hope! It's been lovely weather in the past four weeks, no rain for nearly two weeks, must be setting some new record...

I guess it is like everything else in life, you have to be open minded, flexible and understand there is no such as perfect house, just how much you could compromise...

Three viewings tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Go further west ? Acton is the cheaper part of Ealing. Some nice properties on the Ealing side of West Acton. Prices higher the closer you are to the subway! Or closer to the river - Chiswick? Or a longer commute from Richmond.

And then prepare for a large and long mortgage !!!

Interesting to see how strongly prices have come back. No such luck in the sandpit !

Take care,
