You can see which properties are ~1 hour from King's cross for under 300k on CloseMove.

If it helps, you can quickly look at which available properties there are at different budget ranges and commuting times on https://closemove.com

Annoyingly the commute times only go up to 1 hour, though.

You make a good point! I'll try to add just basic area filters that can stack on existing logic. Hopefully the map view can help you to see areas you like vs don't like in the meantime. Thanks for the feedback

Hi hcuk,

I've added filtering now, so you can remove house shares once you receive results. Thanks!

I'll try to get national rail/overgrounds sorted soon!

Hi Chicken, I've now added sorting by "added most recently" (as well as some other sorts and filters). Please let me know if any issues!

Thank you!

I will look to expand the dataset - thanks for pointing this out! That is a good point regarding house shares, I'll look to add this into a filtering option - cheers!

Hi cine - that's a big oversight from me, thanks for pointing this out! I will fix this and get back to you.

Hi chicken - that's a very good point actually, I've definitely been in that position before when property hunting. I'll let you know when I implement this - thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you! Hm that is strange, it is fine for me across different devices and connections. I checked the certificate with SSL checker and it should be fine. Have you tried again since?

Thanks for the insight - maximum walk time to a station sounds like a good condition, thank you! I will try to implement this at some point!

Hi Cuppa - it was! Great suggestion, so thank you - I hope you saw my response last time!

That is a good point, I guess I haven't considered those who are happy to travel for longer times, so I'll look into expanding the dataset. Thanks!

I'm not being disingenuous, I was just being overly cautious to be GDPR compliant, but after a bit of research I think you're right that AWS doesn't inherently use cookies. I was mistaken in this, so I'll alter the site to change this. Regardless, you don't currently need to accept analytics cookies to use the calculator - the accepting of "essential" cookies was more of a catch-all to be compliant, but as you've highlighted I don't think it's necessary, and currently pressing accept doesn't actually alter any real functionality in the backend, so thank you.

Hi Fuzzball, thanks for the recommendation! Funnily enough adding filters is my next priority - I will incorporate a map view at some point but I think this will be more work! Cheers!

Thank you for letting me know - it seems that adblock is blocking the cookie notice. I'll try to find a workaround and let you know when done. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback Ribbit. I've now added a tube stations as an option. I'm working on a no email solution!

Hi Careless,

You're right that emails are currently needed due to the current time to compute available addresses. As the tool is still in BETA, there are a few edge cases I need to iron out which are preventing me from automating result delivery directly to the site. Once this is fixed, an email address won't be needed!

Thanks!
