It’s a well known fact that London is one of the most expensive places to buy property in the world. 

For those of us looking to get on to the property ladder, living in the city may seem out of reach.

But you may just be able to jump on the property ladder. - Particularly if you’re one of the lucky ones who isn’t paying extortionate rent. 

Coming in at under £250,000 these homes are some of the cheapest available to buy in SE London.
