property crash

We’ve just accepted an offer on our 1 bedroom flat for 280K (we bought it for 134K!) So we have a healthy deposit. We’re looking to move areas in London and to get a 2 bedroom flat between 330-390K this wouldn’t be at the very top of our budget buts it’s pretty damn close!
Are we mad to be buying at the moment?
Should we just be selling and the renting to see if the market drops..but this could take a couple of years of it rising and then we can’t jump in at the same point.
So many people say the market will increase, but surely this level can’t be sustainable?
And will it crash soon or will interest rates take a big leap up to calm the market and to cover for all the people going bankrupt?
It’s all so scary! I just wanted to know what other people were thinking. Thank you so much
