This was great, you're a gem! Seriously, you have a knack for this! So many great options for a wide range of prices. Flexibility is key, but I'm surprised there are options for the majority of the budgets submitted.
Two bedroom two bath, one of which is an en suite...for £267,000. That is what I paid for my flat with same layout in Kensington overlooking the Kensington High Street station. In 1982. Let us just say that is NOT what it could be purchased for today. Keep it up Jess, I am LOVING your estate agent delivery style!!
Really liked this video! Would enjoy more of this style, or also a “renters guide”. For example what would I be able to get as a young medical professional, willing to live with roommates, at a rent budget max. £1000. Preferably NOT those new banker-shell-oil-conglomerate buildings
I would bet that the £135,000 property in Marble Arch has a very short lease. This makes it impossible to get a mortgage for, and then the price to renew the lease is going to be several hundreds of thousands, bringing it in line with similar properties in the area with full leases.
Thanks Jess, I needed a laugh. I personally have London hopes and dreams to crush because London is so expensive. It is interesting to see what you get though.
Thanks for another great video! Mews houses are often some of my favorites, especially when they're well done. People seem to get very clever utilizing the available space, and it's great that some of them have retained the garage for off-street parking. But, yeah, they can be super pricey. I saw one online the other day that was nearly £5 million, yipes!
Dream crusher indeed but so funny to watch. I love your video. I am sad that the moving to London documents will not be done, but maybe you could try again to sell it after that pandemic is few month owed and people have started working again. Well if you try to sell it again I would definitely but it.
As a (unfortunately still in America) connoisseur of London real estate porn (I spend so much time looking at listings on Zoopla that I think I could give tours of most of the places available for sale in most of NW), none of this surprised me but it is very amusing to see what magic people want to try and make happen lol.
Love this video Jess! Maybe be a soul crushing but it is a wake up call. I thought some parts of Canada are too expensive like Toronto/Vancouver but this is like 🤯
Can you explain how the annual fees work at the flats, what's a leasehold? What happens to your investment when the building your flat is in comes to the end of it's usable life?
So im not super knowledgeable in this but you basically have to pay to renew the lease and that gets tricky for some. And people can't get mortgages for properties with less than 75 years left on the lease or something like that so then it's harder to sell your property. I'm sure someone else can pipe in though with better knowledge than me.
Jess I always love the hilarious commentary in these videos. After watching your videos for so many years it is crushed my dreams of ever living London🤣 so thank-you. But on the inside I still love your videos❤ p.s. Just For Kix how much is it to live (rent) in near Covent Garden or Notting Hill. Legend that comes at a hefty price tag as well. No video required just curious.
@@loveandlondon you're welcome and yes they are I know this for a fact! They probably cost more money than I will ever see in my lifetime. But I thought I would ask just for kicks. I figure if you're going to crush somebody dreams I might as well start there.🤣
Jess!!!! Thank you for finding us a nice home in London. We'll take it! 😆😆😆 (JK!) But honestly, St. Katherine's Dock is a nice area and my husband was excited that you 1. Used my comment and 2. Put us in that area. However, I think we'll stay put in our little house. No worries - we'll come visit London! 😉😊
These are very fun videos. I love the city and have been there 4 times, and can't wait to go back. However, I don't think I would ever be able to afford living there, and that's okay. I guess I would see myself living way out and just commuting often.
If you do another video like this; €150.000, i would love to buy a studio or a one bed flat close to a tube station and not too far travel from an airport with the tube (30 minutes) and it would be a bonus to be in 45 minutes on Canary wharf! hope you can feature it!! 🥰
Good old London. £2m budget sir? For a place in central London and you want more than a small flat? Take your change elsewhere and I say goodday to you, sir!
It is nice to dream about living in London but the big question for US citizens is do you have all the paperwork done to live in the UK? It's all about money!!!!! If you can't afford the housing how can you afford to go out and eat/drink? Lots of big questions!! I enjoyed this video. You should go into real estate for people moving to the London area.
Thanks for letting the world know how astronomically horrible the property prices are in London. If I ever plan to buy a property in the UK and move out of central London, we'll definitely be looking further north.
You should have a side business in real estate Jess and specialize in foreigners moving to London lol
So true!!
Haha I've considered it but idk if I can deal with disappointing people for a living
@@loveandlondon I'm doing it in the Algarve, let's chat. You won't be disappointing people, you'd be helping them soooo much. Seriously, let's chat.
you had me laughing 😂 , for the love of god stay in main 😂😂
lmao right
That budget in LONDON??? 😂😂😂 never in a million years
🤣🤣🤣🤣 my best advice yet
The ironic tone. You should present London weather report in winter times 😉
Haha imagine
This was great, you're a gem! Seriously, you have a knack for this! So many great options for a wide range of prices. Flexibility is key, but I'm surprised there are options for the majority of the budgets submitted.
Haha thanks for your great submissions!
You know it’s a fixer upper when the occupants don’t even make their beds! Thanks Jess. Great job.
Thanks for watching Richard!

Damn, 1982!! Thanks for watching ! ❤️
A wide-beam canal boat on a good mooring can be an affordable hidden gem.
Yes it can!
Yes, had friends thst hsd boats in east london and mostly in paddington.
“What do I get for xyz £?”
“A park bench” 😂😉
Those are going pretty fast too these days 🤣
@@loveandlondon you bet 😂

So glad you enjoyed it Marco, thank you ❤️
Thanks for the amazing video, it's a joy to watch and funny too. You're great 😉
Jess has acquired the scorn of a true Londoner. It is quite infectious.
So glad you enjoyed it Santi, thank you ❤️
Pure entertainment! Thanks Jess, and I dare say some people take this seriously 😳
lol! Thanks for watching Jim
What is it about these videos that we love so much 🤔 lol Thank you Jess, loved this one too ❤️
Haha idk. Thanks for watching Cecille ❤️

'stay in Maine!'🤣 loved your finds Jess. Going to strap down and pinch my purse-strings a little tighter to try and get on the ladder.
🤣thank you! Good luck !
Oh I love these videos! So fun!
Glad to hear it, thanks Kim!
Thank you Jessica I always enjoy watching your wonderful videos I am from South Africa

Do me, do me! £1m, 3 beds, as close to the center as possible while remaining half decent!
I am on the "crush my dreams" team, apparently. Although I had a great time watching you make great deals! haha
Haha thanks Barbara!
Classic video, I love your sense of humour 🤣
Thanks!
So, yes, I will stay living here Jess. However, I am now willing to spend more on accommodations when I visit again.
fab! Thanks for watching
love this.. i was cracking up..
you should get a real estate license jess you make the best videos
haha aw thank you so much
Cool vid 👏🏼👏🏼👊🏻, guess you could buy a parking space and put up a gazebo and camping equipment 👍🏼😂x
Exactly!

.....thanks?
@@loveandlondon Travel clips are great too :)
This is funny. I love your sense of humor.
Thanks Andy 👍👍

haha I totally understand! thanks Anna
Outside ideas of what people can get for nothing are hilarious! Yeah, we've all got pools in London 😂
If only!! I think it goes to show how much better people have it outside London 🤣🤣
Wow, you could get a mega mansion for some of these prices in my home country.
Crazy!!
when i saw the thumbnail i was thinking that was deposit prices 😂
Haha well in some cases they could be!
$65k in Maine with one acre of land? Ok I am selling up my place in North London and emigrating, Retiring too. Where do i sign!
Haha I know right!?
I love the sass in this video. Living in Vancouver, these prices seem normal, unfortunately
haha welcome to big city life, where this is all normalised 🤣
These are very fun videos. I love the city and have been there 4 times, and can't wait to go back. However, I don't think I would ever be able to afford living there, and that's okay. I guess I would see myself living way out and just commuting often.
Glad you like them Juan, thanks for watching ❤️❤️
If you do another video like this; €150.000, i would love to buy a studio or a one bed flat close to a tube station and not too far travel from an airport with the tube (30 minutes) and it would be a bonus to be in 45 minutes on Canary wharf! hope you can feature it!! 🥰
Ok ❤️❤️❤️
I live in Sydney. All these prices seem really cheap compared to property here. Wish i could get anything around those prices.
It's crazy how it's all relative, isn't it? Thanks for watching Briana!
You can walk from Kennington to St Thomas’ but it’s quite far (I’ve done it 😩)
Really interesting and nice video!
Thanks so much!
Jess, come to belgravia, show the world rentals there.... :)
Good old London.
£2m budget sir? For a place in central London and you want more than a small flat? Take your change elsewhere and I say goodday to you, sir!
🤣🤣🤣
hahahaha this is hilarious can we do that again someday!!
haha thanks for watching!
Hysterical show today! I guess I will have to stay living in Canada.
Thank you, so glad you liked it :)

You are great! Can you do one for Manchester as well?
Sorry, this channel is London-only! But thanks for watching!
Do you recommend buying in places like Slough, reading or Watford?
Those aren't London!
4 bedroom house, not higher than 500,000
preferably near a tube station
Could you do a three bedroom flat/house 30 minutes to Soho for £800,000?
It’s nice 👍
Great video.
Budget of 10-20 million?
Thanks for watching ♥️
@@loveandlondon You're welcome. Please, can you make more house tour video?
I was expecting the 120k to be in Birmingham or something lol
Haha I know right
I got a 1 bed in zone 5 and it was 250k 🙁
In a couple of years you are going to be choking on your champagne babe.
@@Bokfanlettucelip sorry I don't know that expression 😅
@@jenjones90 A way of saying you won't regret your decision in the long run.
Oh well done!!!
under 500 anywhere but in england please
North!
9:38 stay as far away as possible….
I love this! Americans have no clue the price of property anywhere else in the world 🤣
Well I think people from all around the world are a bit shocked as it's so much more than where they're from!
This is awful....I think average salaries and percentage of people on average salaries...would really hit home how hard it is to live in London
yep!
I feel like such a masochist watching this ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣I think we all do
US real estate is ridiculously cheap... even after the covid boom
Sigh...one can dream!
Precisely
Thanks for letting the world know how astronomically horrible the property prices are in London. If I ever plan to buy a property in the UK and move out of central London, we'll definitely be looking further north.
Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
I'm early
Ridiculous
