Product Description

Product Description
Previous editions of The Guide to Commuteriand have established it as the indispensable 'one-stop-shop' for anyone looking for a home within commuting range of London. Now it has been fully revised and updated to take account of current house prices, new developments and changes within commuterland communities. The book remains as before, following each of the railway lines that radiate out from London's termini, station by station, together with their branches and spurs. In total over 1200 towns and villages in Southern England are described, from Frinton and Ipswich in the east to Bristol and Bath in the west. In each case a there is a summary of the types of property to be found and a representative range of prices is given, together with a succinct summary of the pros and cons of each community in terms of local facilities and amenities and social make up. In short, this book is a godsend for househunters who can quickly narrow down their search to focus on the areas that are most likely to meet their needs without ever leaving the comfort of an armchair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way of helping narrow down your research on areas!, 15 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I'm planning on buying a house and this book was handy in narrowing down my choices of what type of place I would like to live in and also gives me more options (judging from commute times) of where I can move. From one person who doesn't have all the time in the world to drive from place to place, let alone do all the research on specific areas, this is a great book. Worth a buy if you want to get out of London, but still have a decent commute and a decent neighborhood.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful if you want to be at least 30 mins out of London, 30 Jan 2007
By Ms. R. Embling "Reader" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book does give you good reviews of villages & towns, with details of schools, local ammenities, time into London on the train and prices of season tickets. However, for me, what lets it down, is that it suggests that if you are looking to "commute" you are essentially looking to be at least 30 mins out of London on the train. It doesn't cover any towns/villages closer in, that are still out of town and the most likely locations of first time buys for younger people who still want to be close into London but be able to buy somewhere affordable. If you are looking to move much futher out however, then its a good book and worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but now out-of-date - she's publishing an up-date soon, 24 Jan 2000
By A Customer
We used this book when we moved out of London in December 1997. Even then some of the information felt dated (especially about £££), but in general it was hugely helpful: roughly right about areas we knew, informative about those where we hadn't a clue. I see the same author is publishing a new book soon.
