I find this very hard to believe.


Seems like your colleague isn't prepared to move out of their comfort zone and into a suburb a bit further out. With lower "living standards", do you mean they are needing to moving to Syria? I always thought living standards were relatively generic across London.


What indeed do you mean by "safety"? There are plenty of safe affordable areas in London, or is this person scared of the urban myths of living south of the river.


If they own their current flat, it is likely to have increased in value substantially. Enough equity to buy somewhere bigger for their family. I have just done the same, and there was no shortage of such properties in "non scary" areas.


I really can't stand overdramatising a situation. All it takes is a bit of sacrifice and some thought and patience.

    • I booked Connor to clean all my external windows plus two internal skylights and he did a great job. Polite, reliable, affordable and thorough, I would definitely recommend him. If you live in the Peckham, Dulwich area, give him a call 07514043068
    • We recently had a new bathroom and whole new flooring laid throughout our Victorian lower ground property. Lukas and his team ripped out the old and fitted everything with precision.   Lukas communicated with us along the process and found root causes of some other damp problems we had noticed but could never get to the bottom of! No job was too big or small. His team arrived promptly everyday and were so professional and polite, even tidying and cleaning up when they had finished.   We will definitely use this company again gon the future as we have had many experiences with shoddy builders in the past! Cant recommend them enough. Everything was completed on time AND for a reasonable price.    info@landl-build.com     https://www.houzz.co.uk/professionals/design-and-build/landl-building-and-maintenance-pfvwgb-pf~631498617
