Someone is selling a new build on Tintagel Crescent for 700k without a garden, it was formerly a tiny bungalow that sold for less than 180k.


I will be looking for a 2 bed next spring in the area, inc Peckham Rye and Nunhead and closer to 800k seems common in areas like Dunstans and Landcroft Rd. I suppose the prices might go up even more now because of the stamp duty change.


Any thoughts?

Louisa,

Thanks for the suggestion, but no.


London Mix, thanks for the links, that is what I expected prices to be, but it appears that prices have gone up again. I hope I am wrong. The sold prices you linked to are possibly houses that went on the market a year ago.

If you go on rightmove there is only one 2 bed house currently listed from more than 700k. Most of the places sold were listed this year and fairly recently. I don't think prices have moved in the area significantly in the last few months.

The house listed for 775k, is 1,200 sft (larger than the average 3 bed terrace in ED, though they appear to be cheating by including unconverted loft space). Despite this, the house hasn't had an acceptable offer despite being on the market for nearly 3 months, which suggests its overpriced.


If you include sold subject to contract you'll see the vast majority of Victorian 2 beds for way under 800K.


The idea that a typical 2 bed house with a garden costs 800K plus in ED isn't backed up by the information available and it doesn't do anyone (except sellers) any good to talk up the market. All the houses below are period houses that have come the market in the last few months and have gone under offer. The asking price may also be higher the final sales price accepted which seems to be the trend at the moment.

The pictures for number 25 are before it was presumably done up as the pics relate to the previous 2012 listing (as it notes on Rightmove). Some people don't want current information online.


Anyhow, since that house sold in 2014, 3 more 2-bed houses have sold on Jennings for 675k, 665k, and 642k and all are in good condition. Given those are the most recent sales, as a buyer I'm not sure why you are ignoring them and looking for evidence that 2 beds are worth significantly more than they are actually selling for.

nowhere have I said that two bed garden houses are 800k plus.

Wasn't this you? How have I misunderstood what you were trying to say, seriously?

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think any of the comments so far addressed the question of the potential of stamp duty to affect prices.


This is an interesting article with quite a broad view:

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
