Having a house with a garage certainly adds to the cost in London. But then so does just having off-street parking. I live a little further out than what could be considered really the city (Twickenham is the start of zone 5 on the transport system) but we can fit 3 cars off the street and have a garage as well. It's 4 bedrooms and fully detached and I would hazard a guess at around £400k worth. The same house only 2 miles closer to the city (St Margarets, Richmond) would be £600k-£800k!! |
