New research commissioned by the County Homesearch Company shows that even without the Olympics, East End Boroughs have far outstripped their snooty West End cousins in terms of house price rises over the last 10 years. If you bought a flat in Newnham in 1995, then you'll be laughing all the way to Estapona, with your average house worth more than four times what it was worth back in the day, and the games just around the corner. Poor souls in Richmond, on the other hand, will be weeping into the cinzanos having failed to so much as triple the value of their houses. Diddums.
