East Dulwich property prices


Recommended Posts

Did anyone read that piece about Northcross Road in this weeks Time Out? According to them a one bedroom flat on Northcross road costs ?225,500! Is that right? Surely a flat hasn't sold for that much round here and they also say a 3 bed in Fellbrigg is ?410,000! Are the street paved with gold round here!!!!

It's not just East D though is it? The whole of London has gone bonkers in the last few months. That said, a banker from Clapham (an actual banker, that's not a euphemism) said to me the other night that she was looking to move but that she thought East Dulwich was "a bit expensive". How times have changed...

Best roads eh? I live on East Dulwich Road and I really like it, it's 5 minutes to East Dulwich train station, staggering distance from Lordship Lane, a (big) football kick from Peckham Rye, close to convenience stores and has Goose Green next to it. It can be a bit noisy because of cars, but then again, it's London innit.

I seem to recall the flat-conversions in the old school went for astonishing amounts - so if one of those has been re-sold lately that sort of price would not surprise me at all.


So does anyone know what they are building on the site of the belatedly-demolished wreck at the junction of Overhill & Underhill Roads??

Recently moved into the area, and nice 3-beds are creeping up towards 500. Our 4-bed on Friern Rd was 520 and we were pleased (although so was the vendor!). Still cheaper than equally nice/accessible places in North London in my view. I love East Dulwich!

Oakhurst Grove's great - I just moved in a few months ago from Camberwell


It's close(ish)to Lordship Lane and Peckham Rye (good for beers and dog walks in that order)


The Gree , the Codfather and a bus stop are at the end of the road


It's also blocked off at the ED Road end so it's nice and quiet (You can still get a bike or scooter through the gap)

Although London in general is stupidly expensive, ED is in a league of it's own! I'm from there, and would love to get a place there, but just can't afford it. Up the road in Sydenham you get much more for your money, and with the exception of a severe lack of decent pubs, it's generally just as nice.

My sister wants to move up to a small 3-bed house in East Dulwich but can't afford it. She can go up to about 330k I think. She's been looking in Nunhead and Forest Hill. Does anyone have any suggestions re. other good up-and-coming areas nearby? I suggested 'posh Peckham' but this is now apparently as expensive as East Dulwich.

I'd suggest Crofton Park. Good housing stock. Good transport. Will get ELondon line and has a growing number of places to go out at night. Its not ED but it is not unlike ED was 5 years ago. Its my hot tip!

the (smaller) house opposite ours on Landcroft Road went for nearly half a mill recently. Ours was a bit less than 200 when we bought it 6 years ago...

I know of a stunning 3 bed semi in Hindmans Rd that recently sold for just under ?500k.


As for up and coming - well Elephant would be the obvious choice if you have the patience and really want to cash in on the regeneration. Look what regeneration did for Peckham. Elephant isn't really oing to be desirable to live for another 5 years at least though.


Hey you could always try up and coming East London! Olympics anyone?!

Our 4 bed in ED was valued at ?650 three months ago, we would get more if we also converted our loft. At these prices we could afford to move into the village now (but only a 3 bed) but no way! Our road is nice and quiet and leafy. The only really busy roads in ED are Lordship Lane (obviously), Grove Vale, East Dulwich Grove and Barry Road.


The estate agents say that young people are choosing ED over the village now and I can see why. The village is very picturesque, but there's not much choice re shops and places to eat and drink. ED has so many bars and restaurants to choose from and they're really good - I rarely stay in town now after work and instead prefer to go out in ED and I can stagger home from Lordship Lane in 5 minutes. The boutiques in ED are really good too, although some are a bit pricey.


ED also has the choices of 2 parks - Peckham Rye Common or Dulwich Park - I live about 10 minutes walk from each and its nice to have a choice. Peckham Rye isn't used as much and I think its really under-rated - since the gardens have been done up, its great and even before that it was pretty good. I also would hate having to use the car all the time if I was in the village - the village doesn't have many bus services so you can only really rely on the train (although it is a regular service), and there's nowhere in walking distance to get your weekly groceries.


I once said that once I could afford to move to the village, I'd be off like a shot, but I've really changed my mind now. Having said that, you can't deny that the village is pretty to look at and good for a walkabout on a sunday afternoon.

One green space that people so seldom mention when chatting about Dulwich is Sydenham and Dulwich Woods. I've spent many a happy weekend afternoon strolling in the woods and I love it. I even enjoy walking up through the woods and on into Crystal Palace Park a bit further on. I know that park is not in Dulwich, but it is a lovely green space as well and I love the eccentric bits, like the remnants of the Crystal Palace, and the quirky model dinosaurs near the lake.

We're very lucky with access to green space in East Dulwich. Don't forget a quick bus ride up Lordship Lane towards Sydenham takes you to Hornimans Gardens. A great green space including a small animal enclosure for the kids to look at, and of course a fabulous free museum with exhibitions and activities for kids most weekends.

I think this thread is in danger of turning into a smug showing-off contest with all this "we bought for 200K in 2001 and now it's worth 550K" business.

The Gardens (opposite peckham rye common) are nice - grand houses set around a garden square. Whole houses go for over a million.


There's lots of lovely spots around ED. One of my favourites is the church on the corner of melbourne grove/east dulwich grove. There's someone with very green fingers there as the front garden always look lovely - i pass by it every day on my way to the station. It always looks very colourful in spring and summer.


People always talk about property prices but you're not really making any money unless you sell up and go to a cheaper area - that's the only real way to cash in on the equity.

Of course, it is possible to be a hard worker and still get nothing (nurses, social workers etc). Still.. serves them right for not working in those better-paid, more essential industries such as marketing, middle management and PR.

    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi Teo   he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in Rast Dulwich . how much do you charge ?  
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!
