Kuz, you living over by all that olympics development off to the east side of the city there?
I got a friend who is in the midst of purchasing a 3 level over there. HEar its not the best area, but damn is he getting a bigger place for the price. would think its a descent area to invest in, no?

well i dont see how much further the prices of the properties will rise after the olympics.
It's a gamble depending on how well the olympics go and how sustainable the developments are.
House prices quadrupled the second London won the olympics and have been rising steadily ever since.
It's been transformed but in an ugly sort of gentrified way. All the council estates and the dereliction in the shadow of londons second most affluent square mile is being replaced by "tesco express" and "starbucks" and theres ATMs everywhere, when before i had to travel all the way to South Quay to get to a cashpoint.
Worth investing?? I guess so, as long as you're affluent. I just hope the put a kebab shop down my street sometime soon, that's all i hope ;)

omfg. i HATE that pan peninsula. they're spamming the whole fucking neighbourhood. i can look out the window RIGHT NOW and see it going up.
STILL going up, might i add, after 18 months. pfft.

I think I might not live in the east end for once when I move back to London. But I hate everywhere else in London, which probably means I will have to not move back to London. It's mind boggling (sp?) when you think about it.

hooray for pan peninsula, you fuckers should have started living on top of each other 100 years ago, the place wouldn't be such a ridiculous sprawling eyesore :D

I'm deeply hurt. and so are my brethren.
You're welcome to that reekin shitehole on the east coast with its tweed jacketed tory head-nodders.
