Hi EDF


We are first time buyers trying to get our first home. We've been pretty unlucky having been out bid, gazumped and even ghost gazumped!


We finally had an offer accepted on a place, I checked the crime map for SE19 1JJ and am a little concerned by the area. My bf thinks I'm over reacting since we have been to see the house 4 times and it's always been quiet.

Now I am not sure we have done the right thing (initial searches without the postcode didn't give me so much detail)but I don't want to move somewhere that looks like a crime hot spot.


Has anyone heard of Gibbs Ave/central hill in Crystal Palace being dangerous? I don't mind a bit rough and ready having lived in Kilburn for a far few years


Thanks

Thanks Kalamitykel.


I think my concern is the same street has at least one incident a month ranging from anti-social behaviour to violent crime.


Overall the amount of crime is comparable to ED but less than Kilburn but I haven't ever seen a road which has crime reported so frequently in either areas I have lived in.


Perhaps I've answered my own question :-)

    • Would Leon install a new double oven? Our eye level double oven was installed when we had our kitchen installed around 20 years ago and will need to be replaced with similar. I think we had 2 people to install it then - so does Leon work alone?
    • My car was registered in 2004. Automatic, ULEZ compatible.  Used to use it daily for work until 2016 when retired. Still used 3-5 days weekly after that as was doing voluntary work. My mobility has gradually declined and  it is painful to walk.. Family live in Kent, Essex and Sussex - so need car to visit them. My car battery is 2 years old - when had to call out RAC to assist at home as it was dead, they found it was the original battery installed in 2004!! My car is essential - shopping each week, being able to go to garden centres, or DIY stores, taking the cat to the vet and  other social activities. I now only half fill with petrol every 3- 4 weeks, so save that way. I am careful  with my finances and would be lost without the car. It is regularly maintained (Turners).
    • I remember Tesco- it was on the corner of North Cross Road where Superdrug is now. Very small if I remember correctly.  We shop in Pound land - having discovered that shampoo and conditioner (brand names) were only £1 each. Good selection of most things that we need on a regular basis. It is better than the one in Peckham. Never noticed loud music when I have been in there and have always found the staff helpful and cheerful.
    • Shame we don't get to vote who takes over as it impacts us all
