Getting it Right in the London Property Market

By: Chloe Williams

When I first headed for the big city all I wanted was a place to rest my head and a stab at making it in media. I’d been in a tiny room throughout uni and knew I didn’t have the money for much more than a box room in east London. So that’s what I got and when I eventually managed to blag myself a job I stayed put for a while, not really knowing where to look without getting ripped off, or even which areas would be best to look in.
London is like a constantly rotating merry go round where the scenery changes after every loop. Somewhere renown for being rough round the edges may be on the rise to super hip status, like Brick Lane which has benefited from the Banksy buzz and is now an epicentre for the new media elite.
So because of my inferior knowledge and lack of friends in the area to give me advice I decided to visit a property consultant for a bit of guidance. I would really advice anyone in the same boat to look into property consultants in your area because the specialist help I received.
I have ended up on Portobello Road which I know is pretty pricey but by visiting a property consultant I managed to swing a great deal and I figure spending 5 years living in box rooms is reason enough to splurge on an ultra swanky pad. My apartment is lovely and I really enjoy living on a safe and elegant road. I also frequently drop into conversation how I hare a neighbourhood with the Notting Hill elite, such as Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer, film director Richard Curtis, and Robbie Williams.
People often worry about the expense of living in London but there are ways to beat this property drain on your finances. For a start, London wages generally fall into a higher wage bracket than other areas in the country, and this can help subsidise the higher cost of property in both residential mortgages and renting. Other bonus’s of living in London are the transport links which allow you to do without a car which is a further penny pinching ruse.
If you are at all persuaded by my London ranting I’d get on to the blower and contact a property consultant today. They’ll give you the real insider knowledge to get a great deal on your London letting or residential mortgage.
