I think perhaps ED prices will drop more because they seemed especially high. Doesn't seem to make SUCH a huge difference up in Forest Hill / Sydenham. As I said, if you're planning on being someonewhere for 5-10+ years, then I don't see the point in worrying too much. However, we're inm a situation where really our mortgage is going to be exactly the same whatever happens (complicated scheme) so doesn't make a huge difference. Plus, if all goes to plan, by xmas I will have the most amazing uninterrupted views of London, and very very good leg muscles from walking up an insane hill! :-S
