I've been thinking of moving to the area for some time and took a big step closer this weekend when I registered with a few agents (sorry but even Foxtons!) and viewed a couple of properties, but now I've started the ball rolling, I'm feeling a little hesitant! I love the area (from what I've seen on a few weekend/evening trips, plus what I've read on here) but can't decide if I'm making the right call! I fancy a change of scene and want to be closer to town - so zone 2 is better than zone 5, but by moving from my home of 6 years (South Croydon), I'd be doubling my mortgage for effectively the same house and will still have a similar commute (15 mins instead of 25). I guess I've fallen for the ED lifestyle, but is it worth an extra ?1k a month to the bank?? I'd love to hear from anyone who's recently made the move to ED and maybe pondered the same dilemma!
