Nice piece of research of our portfolio company Trussle! The most affordable London commuter towns of 2019 have been revealed in a list created by online mortgage broker Trussle.
By analysing house prices, mortgage payments and rail season ticket costs across more than 300 towns within a 75-minute journey of central London, Trussle has produced a rank of the 20 leading commuting hotspots, while also disclosing the 10 least affordable locations.The new list comes as rail fares are hiked up by 3.1 per cent across the UK, adding significant cost to those commuting from the outer edges of London's commuter belt, in some cases by more than £200 a year.Taking today's (January 2) price hikes into consideration, the number one spot goes to Apsley in Hertfordshire, a historic industrial site situated in a valley of the Chiltern Hills.To put a roof over your head and get to work and back in Apsley costs the average person £1,139 a month.
