Its been about 3 years. Its owned privately I believe, purchased in 2001. I imagine the owners have just let it fall in to disrepair for one reason or another. Its really annoying walking past it, as I would love to live in one of those house, perfect location for us. For one to just sit empty like that is really sad. Shame really, last known selling price for it was ?118,00 would be worth over triple that now!
Could well be housing association. I remember seeing the tenants moving out years ago. It wasn't board up at the beginning if I recall but must of had issues with security as they installed all the grilling and the high security door. I think there are a few housing association and hostels around that area. Shame they aren't doing anything with it, especially given so many people are desperate for housing locally.

Subject: FW: Enquiry: Property at 81 East Dulwich Grove


Dear sir


I refer to your email dated 26 April 2014.


The property is under going major refurbishment works and work will commence there in two weeks. We will let the property as soon as work is completed.


Thank you very much

Although it appears to have been empty and unloved for some time, Housing Associations do not have unlimited access to funds for major works, so it may have taken some time for it to reach the top of the funding pile - if work is starting soon that should add to social housing locally - which must be a good thing. If it's 'refurbishment' that may come from a different budget allocation than acquisition or new build - and may well be competing for funding with tenanted properties. Obviously they should be funding necessary repairs on currently tenanted properties as a priority (I would hope) before expanding their housing stock.

    • We enjoyed ravioli at Due Fratelli (near the bus stop on Lordship Lane  which TFL for some reason calls Goose Green) the other evening. Though they seem to have more pizza options than pasta, and not many pasta options for vegetarians (though obviously that won't worry you if you aren't a vegetarian!)
    • Are you saying that if you are walking down North Cross Road from the direction of Upland Road that you can't hear it once you have passed the dentist? Because if so, it can't be the alarm next to the dentist which I referred to above (unless it coincidentally stops making a sound  every time you pass it!)
    • Looking for a gas canisters for a BBQ, if any one has got one hanging around they no longer want/need and want to sell? Just let me know. Any of the green patio gas bottle sizes, or the red bottles Cheers Tommy
    • Admin please move to lounge (or the nature thread in this section) if more appropriate. This article includes a link to  a survey for people to comment on the reintroduction of White Storks to Greater London. I think this is a great idea, but the survey asks for all shades of opinion on various potential issues with doing this. Please read the article and fill in the survey  if you are interested! It only takes five minutes! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/04/rewilding-group-to-assess-possible-return-of-white-storks-to-london?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
