We want to move to West Hamspead - where are the most reasonable 2 bedroom flats to buy int he area?

Question

We want to be close to the action, are not rich (i.e on a budget) - but love the area!
1) Any advice / help / experience would be great!
2) How much are we looking at for a decent 2 bedroom?
3) Any good estate agents?

We are broke, but don't want to move to the suburbs!

Answer 1

There are lots of estate agents on West End Lane ... You shouldn't have much trouble there ...

If youre on a budget .. maybe you should try kilburn though.

West Hampstead is probably not a budget area.

Answer 2

The whole area is a reasonable area but you can get all sorts of flats in all sorts of conditions. You just have to view the flats. For a decent one, you're probably looking at between £250,000 and £400,000. You may get high rise 2 bed flats cheaper for as little as £190,000 but to be honest, if it's being advertised for much less than £250,000, there's a good reason for it. Noe Glasman was a good estate agent I found in the area (although this is based on when I was viewing - I have not bought a flat in W Hampstead as I can't afford the area anymore). I tend to use findaproperty.com http://www.findaproperty.com and found that pretty much all the estate agents in the area use this website to advertise.
