They are both nice quiet residential streets, as far as I am aware.

I would have said Henslowe Road is the nicer of the two. It's more or less 100% Victorian Terrace, whereas Darrell Road has some mid 20th century properties which aren't as attractive, plus the community centre.

Also, Henslowe is nearer to the park.

Some Victorian houses on <road removed> have damaged front bays due to subsidence caused by the uneven road. That's my biggest concern. They are all Victorian Terrace according to valuation report

Many Victorian houses in East Dulwich (including mine) have had subsidence to the front bay, for various reasons.

 

Houses all over London also suffer from subsidence because London is built on clay.

 

You would be getting a house surveyed before you bought it? The surveyor should be able to advise you.

All of London is too wide, but only South London suffers from subsidence the most. I have obtained insurance claim data for both streets and the street with the high number of claims really worries me.

 

That should help you make up your mind, if you're worried about a property then it's never going to be right for you


Ultimately which do you like most and which can you live in without the nag at the back of your head saying "wrong house" ?


That's the best guidance I can offer because ultimately its your decision on which (if any) to buy 😉

    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
