'Good' road, refurbished with parking - single level which may be good for older/ disabled in an area where that's uncommon (so premium for rarity) - quite well placed for public transport and close to Horniman. Someone local with a bigger house to sell might well downsize here and stay in the area. I can see how they'd get close to their asking price.

Development opportunity. The last photo shows the next door building has a 2nd floor, so expect plans to be a for a block with 2 floors.


Otherwise a bungalow of no specific architectural merit and grounds that have been all paved over.

I can imagine someone living local on Wood Vale Or Underhill with a big 1.5 million plus house who can't manage the stairs any more and wants to stay local paying a premium for this - very few bungalows in the immediate neighbourhood for those who are starting to struggle with stairs....

Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin. Actually quite similar in some respects. Plenty of coffee shops/delis/media types/prams. Quite pretty. Community feel.


I miss the parks, Brickhouse, Palmerston, EDT, cinema and annual art extravaganza, though.

The peak in ED was probably 18 months ago when any old rubbish sold at asking and mint properties in good locations had a bidding war. Since that peak I would say achieved prices are down by up to 10%. I have just sold and got 93% of my initial asking price (which was regarded as being 'achievable' by a reputable local agent after 3 accepted offers failed over 6 months. I was happy to cash out and buy elsewhere. One local agent described the summer market as a 'horror show' and another had never seen so many flats on the market. In the absence of any good economic headwinds, rising interest rates and eye watering prices net negative migration I don't see this situation improving any time soon.


That said a lot of vendors are refusing to accept the new norm and are not selling at the moment so shortage of supply might hold prices up. Whatever the situation it is a dysfunctional market.

No idea where Bloomberg gets it's info on London to suggest a 21% drop in Southwark house prices. Same place as Trump I expect.

According to Zoopla " The average price for property in Southwark stood at ?744,750 in January 2018. This is a rise of 1.05% in the last three months (since October 2017) and rise of 0.91% since 12 months ago. In terms of property types, flats in Southwark sold for an average of ?736,184 and terraced houses for ?833,392. Which one do you trust more?

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
