💨 Abstract
London's high house prices, averaging £566,000 in May 2025, make it challenging for many to enter the property market. Commuter towns offer more affordable options, with some averaging under £400,000. Places like Mistley and Southend-on-Sea in Essex, St. Neots in Cambridgeshire, and Banbury in Oxfordshire provide reasonable house prices and convenient train access to London.
