Hi House,

For someone who's working in central London (Zone 1). What's the most cost-effective place to live currently?
I know there's a lot of options but here are some factors to consider:
- 3 days onsite / 2 days remote
- Safe family oriented area
- 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom ideally (new build preferably)
- willingness to travel approx. 1hr to work. (2hrs to/fro)

Some areas being considered;
- Reading (benefiting from new Elizabeth line)
- Maidenhead
- St Neots
- Luton
- Watford etc.

I have already done some research but looking for more "qualitative" inputs based on personal experience.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for this.

I just downloaded the app and filled the form...but see the response I got. I'm in the West Midlands area.


Thank you for your interest
We are not currently onboarding delivery partners in your area. Amazon Flex onboards additional delivery partners periodically, especially ahead of our busy summer and winter months. You’re on the waiting list and we will email you when we are looking for more delivery partners in your area.

What areas are they onboarding delivery partners if you know?

I don't know where you're based. But what I posted is the rules in Scotland

Its so bad that 12months minimum or 6 months minimum tenancy agreement is illegal. Tenants are on a monthly rolling contract.

I use a letting agent, so they adhere strictly to the legal framework.

Welcome to the United Kingdom's mortgage regime...... Better grab the mortgage, make your 25 years start to count .......

You can also remortgage, when your deal is up ....... Or get another mortgage quote from other lenders..... Fixed rate vs variable rate mortgages........

That house wey you dey rent so, you are paying your landlords mortgage........ RENT MONEY, is DEAD MONEY......

NB : Ensure you fully understand the difference between, freehold vs leasehold properties........

Just pointing to the following:
[1] Source www.gov.uk/leasehold-property
You only own a leasehold property for a fixed period of time. (different from freehold or technically 999yrs lease)
Ownership of the property returns to the landlord when the lease comes to an end.
[2] Source https://hoa.org.uk/advice/guides-for-homeowners/i-am-buying/leasehold-v-freehold-whats-the-difference
There are two fundamentally different forms of legal ownership: freehold and leasehold. Although estate agents tend to gloss over it, it can be the difference between a home that is worth buying and one that isn’t. ...

The thing I'm enjoying now is watching BBC and seeing the King of England driving in a small 3 car convoy along the road I used to follow from Uxbridge to central London. Outriders clearing the road smoothly, moving in and out, the convoy passing ordinary traffic in other lanes as usual, of course the aerial, ground and other security must be tight and all that, but ordinary motorists are barely affected.

On the other hand, if any of those bloody wankers in power in Naija were to be passing somewhere...

Thanks bro.. well, he's never worked in an audit firm before he has been in the industry for the past 5 years, hence, his skepticism. He applied on LinkedIn and he was surprised to be shortlisted for interviews.
