cool, thanks for the answers. I've already been looking around Tolworth/Surbiton/New Malden area. Anyone have any hidden gems they're willing to share?

You can't. Unless it's falling to pieces. You may be able to get a flat, but you won't get a house. I bought my 3 bed Victorian house in Battersea 10 years ago for £193,000 and it's now worth £450,000. Prices have gone doolally - mine is not even in a particularly good area, but it is close to Clapham Junction and that is what counts.
I do wish you the best of luck, but you would need to be looking a lot further towards the edge of town to buy a house, and your desire for Waterloo links is the one thing that will guarantee a price above £350,00. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
And the places you're looking at are too suburban - you need to look at seedier options... when I bought my place, the area was a pit. Not anymore - it was worth it!

I'd recommend Twickenham, Whitton, Fulwell (St Margarets and Richmond near enough the same area but dearer, nice houses but dearer). There are a fair few victorian houses in Twickenham and parts of Fulwell but I think you'd be lucky to find them at the price you want. But there are lots of really nice 1930's housing around there, it is a great area with the river, plenty of parks, good schools. Waterloo is less than half hour away (there is an express service from Twickenham), and also the M3 is quite close.
Have you tried using www.fish4.co.uk house search? It seems quite usefull!
Good luck!

In London, you're going to have to look at the unfashionable or run-down areas for that sort of money (e.g. Colliers Wood). Alternatively you can move further out along one of the train lines from Waterloo (e.g. follow the train line out towards Epsom or Tolworth). In one of the fashionable or nicer bits of SW London, you'd be looking nearer the 1/2 million mark.
