Where in Wimbledon are you? Wimbledon goes from multi million pound houses to not quite so much within a very short distance.

Even here but close by, in zone 6 Hammersmith is not far away, by bus or train, likewise central london, and being the slow line , and almost the first call you get a seat!0 -

But whereas in London you might get to live on that 1 - 3 good road/s in an area (Aragon Road, Hillcross Avenue and Tudor Drive - Morden) you get entire areas that are nice and safe outside London. But most importantly better school options.
Rjsterry, where are you sending your kids to school?Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

I looked there and am still looking, best I saw were places for about £300,000 for 3 bed. I understand the listed price and the sale price are a mutually negotiated conclusion - but still...Sketchley wrote:Worcester park is nice and about 75k to 100k cheaper for 3 bed semi...wavesFood Chain number = 4

"Look you f*cking talentless oik, I live in a flat that's worth more than the propertyI want to buy so you will give me a mortgage to my liking and I will tell you how much I'm prepared to pay in installments and you will accept this."
There is no point saying Wimbledon is more expensive than Worcester Park so live there. Worcester Park is still too f*cking expensive - especially compared to what else you can get in nicer areas with better schools.

Rjsterry, where are you sending your kids to school?
DDD, earlier in the thread you mentioned Kent (or at least Tonbridge).
Schools are very variable there because of the 11-plus. This means that the comprehensives in the area tend to lack the more able kids, so are not very comprehensive. If the kids pass the 11-plus, then the schools are good.0 -
Worcester Park was one place I was thinking of. :oops:Sketchley wrote:Ok so worcester park is too f£&&?&£?& expensive as well......0
