I'm moving from Scotland to London in September, looking to buy a flat, what are some nice / ok areas within 45 minute commute of Paddington?

Looking around the £300-£350k mark.

Obviously viewing are tricky just now so would prefer to avoid any areas that are overly...stab-y from my search to save some time.

Hayes and Harlington isn't bad. If you're commuting into Paddington you definitely want to look at West London only. Might even be worth thinking about buying in/around Reading - you will get more bang for your buck there and the commute isn't that bad (especially if you take the fast trains)

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it.

I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?
