So here's another thread about housing, house prices, the housing bubble, and someone who doesn't know what to do with their life...

I'm approaching 30, and may soon be able to scrape a meagre 10% deposit to buy a 1 bedroom flat in forest hill, brockley, new cross sort of area.

Is it even worth it? I'll be buying on my own, as I haven't been going out with my other half for that long and she doesn't have any savings yet anyway...

I'll probably need something bigger in 5 years, so I'm not sure if its worth taking the plunge now. According to zoopla, prices went up by £18k avg in some of these areas.

Feel like this might be my last chance to be anywhere near London.

I earn £31k, which as a single income in London won't stretch very far.

Thoughts? Anyone bought a one bedder?
