Without the budget to buy near their Zone 3 home Zoshia and Will took the plunge to move 60 miles out of the capital
This article tells the story of a London couple who moved to St Neots, Cambridgeshire, instead of buying a flat in the city's outer suburbs. They were drawn to St Neots' value for money, commutable distance to London via train, new build properties, and access to green space, which had been important to them growing up in Staffordshire. Although unfamiliar with the area, they were impressed and opted to purchase a house, finding that their monthly mortgage payments were less than their previous rent in London. The article highlights the decision-making factors for London leavers seeking a more affordable lifestyle with access to nature and a reasonable commute back to the capital.
