wow sounds very cheap!!! I think people in London have lost their senses!!! Such mad prices which are beyond the reach of the majority are not sustainable. Imagine what you can buy with that amount of money around the world. The only beneficiaries out of these mad prices in rip off Britain are: the developers, treasury, estate agents and the banks who are still deceiving people into buying those tiny boxes. People have to pause and think about the very low and poor life style that they live in Britain before comitting themselves to a 25 years interest only mortgage. Cheeers.

200K is not bad for the privilege to live in an excellent neighbourhood where celebrity such as the famous Jack-the-R frequented. Some value added!

These new properties are merely additional trophies for the rich people that do not even live in the UK permanently. We need a recession and we need it now.

Shoreditch! Couldn't give places away in the early 1980's, was to 'die for' in the 1880's though ;¬)

"Studio apartments offer a comfortable living space"
Yeah - if you're a student paying a pittance to live there on a strictly temporary basis. Oh, I was forgetting, of course these buyers are getting a 'foot on the ladder', so they will automatically be able to step up a rung or two within a few years... (I think not...)

This is why I continue to rent in London even though I'm 34 and married.
With a combined income of around £55k, it's not that we can't afford to buy, but I just don't want to with these such "bargains" available. In my judgement those are way overpriced unless they are very nicely done out, including modern fittings with nice views out of the (single) window. Is that unreasonable?
Nothing particulalry wrong with Shoreditch - I'm sure the place has poshed itself up since being "the place to die for" in the 1880s. Very good though - "the place to die for". Hehe.
