Yes, Direct Line automatically rejected it when I tried to get a quote. Insurers really are a nightmare, and they have a huge psychological impact on buyers. When you’re about to put £1m into a pile of bricks, and the insurance companies either refuse to insure it or quote an outrageous premium, of course it’s going to scare anyone. I’m not actually worried about subsidence in this house main building , but the bay window has definitely been affected by that tree, and the council won’t remove it. When the movement continues, rebuilding the bay window would cost at least £40k. The seller will never admit this, but there are already houses on that street where the bay windows have had to be rebuilt. If not East Dulwich, I’m now looking towards the west. There are a lot of subsidence issues with properties in Forest Hill, and Bromley and West Wickham aren’t really for me. I’m not interested in any part of Dulwich except ED, ND and Dulwich Village — and obviously ED offers the best value. -

Not sure what you are looking for, but my suggestion would be around Forest Hill, certain parts of Bromley and West Wickham Telegraph Hill. All nice areas- safe and you get more for your money. Really depends on how you travel, or don’t.. as inn needing good transport links to City. Like I said, feel free to pm me.. abit difficult to advise if not sure what you are after, but pretty sure not a flat! oh, West Dulwich and Herne Hill area. -
I honestly can’t believe how TW operates. Just like the councils and UK Power Networks — what kind of people are they? I’ve cried my way through some projects because I had to liaise with these departments. No wonder I feel like running away every time their names come up. I first started thinking about walking away when I noticed the main water issue with TW (which would delay the project), the potential drainage problem, and the higher insurance claims than what I was initially told, plus the ongoing issues. Subsidences can be very different, my current house definitely had subsidence back in 50 years ago, but the previous owner never made any claims, and there has never been a drainage issue or damp issue. All of this has increased my concern about the project time and resale value. I don’t want this to turn into a liability instead of an asset. I’m now also looking at properties in Clapham common, same price, a lot bigger

I do not understand why people leave valuable items out on the road and then are actually surprised when they go missing
