It is crazy isn't it, we've just left London, though I still work there (massive commute from Norfolk to London 3 to 4 days a week - staying with friends when I'm there). It's is obscene that 2 bed flats are over half a million in many parts of town. I loved living there but to have a family and fun it was important to get a house we could be happy living in. I'm someone that has "benefitted" from the increasing prices, but at the same time I haven't. While I've made some money on my house what does that mean if all the other houses have also vastly increased in price and if I need a crazy amount to buy a new house with an extra room or two? 20 years ago being able to scrimp and save for a couple of years to be able to afford the next house up was common, but now you are talking 100k minimum in London to add a room, and that doesn't really get you a bigger place or more room to actually live...
