Depends what you mean by 'London'. If you are talking about central London, considering a converted broom-cupboard has just sold for £150k (see link below!) I would say no, you can't buy an apartment for £100k in London (unless you want so cockroach infested place that needs a total refurb!) |

You may be able to buy a run down garage for that - but I doubt it!
Last year, a garage with no windows, roof and a half broken door sold for £130,000 - it was converted to a small bedsit for use during the week by some nobhead businessman with more money than sense |

No of course you can't!
Ashford in Kent is your best bet.
You can still pick up an apartment for less than £100K and once the fast train link to London arrives in 2009 it will take you less than 40 minutes to reach central London. |

You wouldn't want to live there. This would be a one roomed (not one bedroom - one room total) in one of the least desirable parts of London, or at least very far out from the centre of London.
Look on
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/
to browse for flats, and check prices of recent sales on
http://www.ourproperty.co.uk/
That's a real tight budget.
If you have 100K, US$ or GBP, look at getting a mortgage. With that as a deposit, you'll get favourable mortgage rates and if you only need it for a short period, you shouldn't lose out. Rent is dead money... Buy and invest |

You'd be lucky to find an apartment for £100k anywhere in the South East. I'm afraid for that money you are looking at a garage (or possibly a bedsit/studio apartment outside of London).
If that is all you can afford then maybe you could consider buying with a friend or partner? Or buying through a housing association 'part buy, part rent' scheme?
Good luck honey - it can be tough to get on the property ladder but it's worth it in the end |

yes it is possible but you will spend alot of time looking, also consider ex-council property as they are slightly cheaper
look on these sites and see what you think
www.primelocation.com
www.rightmove.co.uk
and also www.a-r.co.uk this is an auction site
their next auction is on the 14th of feb it starts at 11am

YOU MAY GET ONE FOR THAT,BUT IT WILL NEED A LOT OF WORK DOING TO IT,OR IT MAY BE IN A BAD AREA. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT PART BUY PART RENT,THIS ENABLES YOU TO BUY A MORE SUITABLE PROPERTY,THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD NOW,YOU BUY HALF NOW AND PAY RENT ON THE OTHER HALF TILL YOU CAN AFFORD TO BUY IT OUTRIGHT. |
