Product Description
Product Description
Following each of the railway lines that radiate from the capital’s main stations, The Daily Telegraph Guide to Commuterland discusses house prices, developments and changes within commuter communities in reach of London. More than 1,200 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 there is a summary of the types of property to be found, details of how much you can expect to spend to buy one, and a succinct, easy-to-use breakdown of the pros and cons of each option in terms of local facilities, amenities and social make-up. Forget estate agents: Commuterland is a godsend for house-hunters. Now you can narrow down your search to focus on the areas most likely to meet your needs without ever leaving the comfort of an armchair.

We're moving out of central London - looking for the village life and lifestyle.
Having now fully read/reviewed the book I'll be selling it on. On that basis I'd have happily paid for internet access to such information instead - maybe that is a way forward for such authors to capitalise on all their research and hard work.
All in all its been useful, it helped us pick our new home location and now it's down to house hunting!

This book is great in principle but it is not as comprehensive as I would have expected.
Sure, its descripion boasts that it covers over 1200 towns - and it does - but it is limited by towns that are served by trains into Liverpool St, Paddington, Euston and Victoria. Stations such as London Bridge, Cannot Street and Blackfriars are forgotten and four out of five of the areas that we are considering moving to - all recognised as being great commuter towns and villages (in Kent) don't even get a mention.
Great idea but let down by incomplete execution.

A useful book - packed with information. Would have been helpful to include the times of the first and last trains of the day.

Reasonable
The book is informative but far from exhaustive. The Shepperton-Waterloo line is not included for instance. The drawings are just padding. Read more
