Budget gems in London are going to be sought after more than ever following Rachel Reeves’ new Stamp Duty measures which make live even more difficult for first-time buyers in the capital.

1. Eltham, SE9
Maudslay Road
£350,000
This cottage-like two-bedroom home was built in 1915 as part of the Progress Estate, a new garden suburb designed to house some of the senior employees of the nearby Royal Arsenal munitions factories.
Arranged a classic two-up, two-down with a central staircase, it’s an appealing freehold alternative to a starter flat. Generous front and rear gardens bolster the country-in-the-city charm.
