Only issue with those is the c2c and great western thameslink etc for a season ticket (to get into London for work) you're paying (for that first property in Grays): £3,872.00 per year (includes tube travel) since domestic rail prices here are just ridiculous (lowest subsidies per passenger mile in all of Europe) Also, presuming you don't work at Fenchurch Street, the commute would be anywhere from an hour (to Fenchurch street) to an hour fifteen minutes (nearbyish tube stations).
