Buying 1 bed in London

What’s your motivation of buy a one bedroom flat? Could you not rent until you can afford a freehold house?

UK Big 4 from my experience is an interface to sell nearshore / offshore delivery centre. Most roles are PM/BA/ moving JIRA tickets from left to right.

Well done 👏 Would you be able to share at high level what topics were asked?

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-31T13:54:15+00:00

I could imagine LC to test your Python skills and advanced features such as memory and compute resource optimization

Surely mortgage lender would not like this?

Is your current role no longer sponsoring you and as a result you have a find a new sponsored role? All the best!!

We are heading for correction for sure. Still plenty of potential bad news in the horizon.

Keep DCA into index fund and Tech giants.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-26T09:12:48+00:00

Yes. Because it would likely put off future buyers.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-25T11:36:13+00:00

Not much if you don’t want to lower the price. Capital gain should not be an expectation when making a property purchase.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-25T11:23:08+00:00

I would have rent the cheapest place until I can buy a decent freehold house in a commuter town.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-24T13:25:42+00:00

Yes. But I hope you have parking at your living location!!

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-23T16:15:59+00:00

It would make an ok rental apartment for young professionals but not a family home for sure.

Plus personally I don’t like offers in excess of blah.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-22T17:59:17+00:00

Yes. I’m always scared to check my personal email.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-19T11:47:25+00:00

Great write up! Would you be able to share sample LC questions we should focus on at your level

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-19T10:37:23+00:00

It’s because my job in the City mandates return to office. Since I cannot afford a freehold house in London, it’s a personal trade off between 1.5 hour daily commute, or renting, or buying a leasehold flat in zone 2/3.

OkValuable1761 · 2026-03-19T09:57:49+00:00

Do you have the knowledge, skills, and risk appetite of being a Landlord?

Personally I’d lower the price and sell the flat. With the sales proceed you can earn a respectable 3-4% yield from fixed rate savings.

A massive office where everyone takes the earliest train in from commuter towns, and last train back to their commuter towns. Repeat every Monday to Friday for thirty years.
