London living cheaper than commuter towns

24th November 2017

New analysis has suggested that staying in some of London’s zone three locations instead of moving to the suburbs could be significantly cheaper. Taking into account moving fees and commuting fares for many of the most popular commuter towns, housebuilding investment platform Homegrown found that moving to locales such as Sevenoaks, Woking or St Albans can cost over £11,000 more annually than living in Upton Park, Tottenham or Stratford. Homegrown said the housing crisis had pushed up the cost of living in the commuter belt.
