What Your Money BUYS You in London (yikes) 🏠

[@barry3573]

You should have a side business in real estate Jess and specialize in foreigners moving to London lol

[@melaniesalphabetgirl]

So true!!

[@loveandlondon]

Haha I've considered it but idk if I can deal with disappointing people for a living

[@AlgarveAddicts]

@@loveandlondon I'm doing it in the Algarve, let's chat. You won't be disappointing people, you'd be helping them soooo much. Seriously, let's chat.

[@ritacosta4727]

you had me laughing 😂 , for the love of god stay in main 😂😂

[@melaniesalphabetgirl]

lmao right That budget in LONDON??? 😂😂😂 never in a million years

[@loveandlondon]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 my best advice yet

[@bristolishome8049]

This was great, you're a gem! Seriously, you have a knack for this! So many great options for a wide range of prices. Flexibility is key, but I'm surprised there are options for the majority of the budgets submitted.

[@loveandlondon]

Haha thanks for your great submissions!

[@hanx6]

The ironic tone. You should present London weather report in winter times 😉

[@loveandlondon]

Haha imagine

[@rmbwaverider]

You know it’s a fixer upper when the occupants don’t even make their beds! Thanks Jess. Great job.

[@loveandlondon]

Thanks for watching Richard!

A wide-beam canal boat on a good mooring can be an affordable hidden gem.

[@loveandlondon]

Yes it can!

[@user-mn5ul9vo9m]

Yes, had friends thst hsd boats in east london and mostly in paddington.

Thanks for the amazing video, it's a joy to watch and funny too. You're great 😉

Jess has acquired the scorn of a true Londoner. It is quite infectious.

[@loveandlondon]

So glad you enjoyed it Santi, thank you ❤️

[@bobberyank384]

Two bedroom two bath, one of which is an en suite...for £267,000. That is what I paid for my flat with same layout in Kensington overlooking the Kensington High Street station. In 1982. Let us just say that is NOT what it could be purchased for today. Keep it up Jess, I am LOVING your estate agent delivery style!!

[@loveandlondon]

Damn, 1982!! Thanks for watching ! ❤️

[@jimbegin6554]

Pure entertainment! Thanks Jess, and I dare say some people take this seriously 😳

[@loveandlondon]

lol! Thanks for watching Jim

[@nitroxidious]

I would bet that the £135,000 property in Marble Arch has a very short lease. This makes it impossible to get a mortgage for, and then the price to renew the lease is going to be several hundreds of thousands, bringing it in line with similar properties in the area with full leases.

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you Jessica I always enjoy watching your wonderful videos I am from South Africa

[@loveandlondon]

Thank you so much for watching Vijayant❤️

[@MarcoRosales92]

Really liked this video! Would enjoy more of this style, or also a “renters guide”. For example what would I be able to get as a young medical professional, willing to live with roommates, at a rent budget max. £1000. Preferably NOT those new banker-shell-oil-conglomerate buildings

[@loveandlondon]

So glad you enjoyed it Marco, thank you ❤️

[@kimm3473]

Oh I love these videos! So fun!

[@loveandlondon]

Glad to hear it, thanks Kim!

What is it about these videos that we love so much 🤔 lol Thank you Jess, loved this one too ❤️

[@loveandlondon]

Haha idk. Thanks for watching Cecille ❤️

[@timmystauffer9094]

Thanks Jess, I needed a laugh. I personally have London hopes and dreams to crush because London is so expensive. It is interesting to see what you get though.

[@loveandlondon]

Glad I could provide a giggle or two ❤️

[@Manjrachel]

'stay in Maine!'🤣 loved your finds Jess. Going to strap down and pinch my purse-strings a little tighter to try and get on the ladder.

[@loveandlondon]

🤣thank you! Good luck !

[@jasonalverio8487]

Love this video Jess! Maybe be a soul crushing but it is a wake up call. I thought some parts of Canada are too expensive like Toronto/Vancouver but this is like 🤯

[@loveandlondon]

Thanks for watching Jason!

[@LouieDoesaThing]

Thanks for another great video! Mews houses are often some of my favorites, especially when they're well done. People seem to get very clever utilizing the available space, and it's great that some of them have retained the garage for off-street parking. But, yeah, they can be super pricey. I saw one online the other day that was nearly £5 million, yipes!

[@loveandlondon]

They can be SO much! Thanks for watching Louie

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Classic video, I love your sense of humour 🤣

[@loveandlondon]

Thanks!

[@andystokes4072]

This is funny. I love your sense of humor.

[@loveandlondon]

Thanks Andy 👍👍

[@nancyriopel7399]

Dream crusher indeed but so funny to watch. I love your video. I am sad that the moving to London documents will not be done, but maybe you could try again to sell it after that pandemic is few month owed and people have started working again. Well if you try to sell it again I would definitely but it.

[@loveandlondon]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your kind words Nancy!

[@Kakapo-Tui]

Can you explain how the annual fees work at the flats, what's a leasehold? What happens to your investment when the building your flat is in comes to the end of it's usable life?

[@loveandlondon]

So im not super knowledgeable in this but you basically have to pay to renew the lease and that gets tricky for some. And people can't get mortgages for properties with less than 75 years left on the lease or something like that so then it's harder to sell your property. I'm sure someone else can pipe in though with better knowledge than me.

[@hazdazzler]

Really interesting and nice video!

[@loveandlondon]

Thanks so much!

[@aleximo100]

love this.. i was cracking up.. you should get a real estate license jess you make the best videos

[@loveandlondon]

haha aw thank you so much

[@jayc9345]

As a (unfortunately still in America) connoisseur of London real estate porn (I spend so much time looking at listings on Zoopla that I think I could give tours of most of the places available for sale in most of NW), none of this surprised me but it is very amusing to see what magic people want to try and make happen lol.

[@loveandlondon]

:) Thanks for watching Jay

[@user-mn5ul9vo9m]

Jess, come to belgravia, show the world rentals there.... :)

[@brianae7350]

I live in Sydney. All these prices seem really cheap compared to property here. Wish i could get anything around those prices.

[@loveandlondon]

It's crazy how it's all relative, isn't it? Thanks for watching Briana!

[@kindle7191]

So, yes, I will stay living here Jess. However, I am now willing to spend more on accommodations when I visit again.

[@loveandlondon]

fab! Thanks for watching

[@alm9707]

You are great! Can you do one for Manchester as well?

[@loveandlondon]

Sorry, this channel is London-only! But thanks for watching!

[@juanmeowmix1530]

These are very fun videos. I love the city and have been there 4 times, and can't wait to go back. However, I don't think I would ever be able to afford living there, and that's okay. I guess I would see myself living way out and just commuting often.

[@loveandlondon]

Glad you like them Juan, thanks for watching ❤️❤️

[@Bokfanlettucelip]

These are better than the travel videos.

You can walk from Kennington to St Thomas’ but it’s quite far (I’ve done it 😩)

If you do another video like this; €150.000, i would love to buy a studio or a one bed flat close to a tube station and not too far travel from an airport with the tube (30 minutes) and it would be a bonus to be in 45 minutes on Canary wharf! hope you can feature it!! 🥰

Ok ❤️❤️❤️

[@ReddSpark]

Do me, do me! £1m, 3 beds, as close to the center as possible while remaining half decent!

Could you do a three bedroom flat/house 30 minutes to Soho for £800,000?

[@Justbooksmusiccatsandapen]

Jess I always love the hilarious commentary in these videos. After watching your videos for so many years it is crushed my dreams of ever living London🤣 so thank-you. But on the inside I still love your videos❤ p.s. Just For Kix how much is it to live (rent) in near Covent Garden or Notting Hill. Legend that comes at a hefty price tag as well. No video required just curious.

[@loveandlondon]

Haha aww well thanks for sticking around for so long. Those are both expensive areas to live!

[@Justbooksmusiccatsandapen]

@@loveandlondon you're welcome and yes they are I know this for a fact! They probably cost more money than I will ever see in my lifetime. But I thought I would ask just for kicks. I figure if you're going to crush somebody dreams I might as well start there.🤣

Hysterical show today! I guess I will have to stay living in Canada.

Thank you, so glad you liked it :)

[@alexmurin7067]

4 bedroom house, not higher than 500,000 preferably near a tube station

[@diannalocke997]

It is nice to dream about living in London but the big question for US citizens is do you have all the paperwork done to live in the UK? It's all about money!!!!! If you can't afford the housing how can you afford to go out and eat/drink? Lots of big questions!! I enjoyed this video. You should go into real estate for people moving to the London area.

[@loveandlondon]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Dianna!!
