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 :-)

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
