Hi


We viewed a terraced property for sale today in hilversum crescent, east dulwich grove. Though not great to look at the outside, really liked the inside, spacious and a lovely gArden, also location seems quite good. But wanted to get some feedback on the area, neighbourhood, crime rates, people etc before we decide make an offer. Being first time buyers , we want to make sure we do the right checks . Any feedback would be appreciated

My mother in law lives in one of these properties and has done for more than 20 years. Nothing significant ever happens around there, you will get your usual drunks shouting in the night etc but no real criminal activity. Sometimes the flight path becomes annoying when its in use over that end of East Dulwich Grove but none of this is out of ordinary for London. The neighbours on each row tend to know each other and are welcoming and friendly. I think its a really good location, and prices are good for the space also.


I wouldn't hesitate to buy there and I've known the area for 7 years.

I live on one of the neighbouring roads and this area is lovely. I think you'd be lucky to live there. The only thing worth possibly mentioning is traffic/vehicles associated with the school run at Alleyns. I don't find this to be a big problem though as it is limited to those times of day and vehicles don't travel at speed. Good luck!

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
