Twickenham — £253,750 (shared ownership)
Shared ownership schemes have their flaws, but they do offer a realistic way for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder — and a 50% share of this place in the centre of Twickenham will be tempting for many.
There's an open-plan kitchen and living room in a home that's a short walk to the river.
For sale with Urban Moves. See more pictures and details about this property.
St John's Wood — £360,000
Proof that you don't have to be a millionaire to live in St John's Wood comes in the shape of this flat on Abercorn Place, just off Abbey Road.
As you might expect at this price in this neck of the woods, however, this really is just a one-room studio. That said, it all you need is a pied-a-terre it'd fulfil the brief, and the building has a 24hr porter and communal gardens.

Blackheath — £1,500,000
