East London/Docklands area? Somewhere on the Jubilee Line and DLR.

Canary Wharf/Isle of Dogs or nearby isn't as expensive as you might
think.
Really depends on the sort of property you want to live in and your
budget.

Chelmsford can be got to from Limehouse and Jubilee line to Waterloo is
12 minutes.
With a fast train to woking. You could be there in less than an hour.

And Bracknell's about an hour from Waterloo, which is actually where she'll
be commuting to :-)

My girlfriend and I currently live in Woking.

She works in Bracknell (30 minute drive). If I were to get a job in
Chelmsford - where is a good place to live for a reasonable commute for
both of us ?

(the middle is about central London - bit pricey).

Depends how pricey you can afford - how far from Bracknell station does she
work? I'd have said somewhere closer to London, maybe somewhere around
Clapham Junction/Twickenham/Richmond might be an idea. It's all pretty
pricey around there though.

Stratford. Easier for the Chelmsford, but Jubilee and Waterloo for the
Bracknell.

OK for now, but be prepared to move on before 2012.

Why? Do you think prices will peak just before 2012, then fall?

No, but it will be hell living there, and travelling to and from there,
during the Olympics.

The Olympics will only last for 3 weeks - if you don't want to
be near it then it would be a great time for a holiday, but
surely not a reason to move house.Obviously if you're close
to the construction traffic then the problem might be longer
term, but that would be a reason to get out now, not in 2012
when all the hassle's over.

They are only on for two weeks. Every sensible local resident will rent
their house out and take a holiday. No need to move away!

Yes, but should get an easy market value+25% if it's subject to a CPO, and
if you ask the right people and buy in an area near all the action, but not
affected by the building work, it should increase a fair bit in value.
Trouble is, it probably will have done already by now.....
