This is all very helpful- thank you very much akc74, Mima and scarlettbanks for taking the time to respond. It definitely sounds like the furthest distance offered in this year's first cut is around 900-950m which is very encouraging if it's about 150-200m wider. So hopefully with another increase in the intake next year we will see another 200m radius increase. Especially as in the South/ North/ East area of the 1000+m radius you seem to have lots of areas where you might not expect many applicants: Peckham Rye/ Rye Lane/ Peckham train tracks/ Ruskin Park/ Kings Hospital/Denmark hill train station and tracks etc. and then obviously to the West you have the overlap with North Dulwich Charter catchment. Perhaps there's hope for the 1.25km+ catchment as Scarlettbanks talks about above.

Hi all, i appreciate that the shake-down hasn't happened this year yet and there will be plenty of movement on the waiting lists in the coming weeks and months, but does anyone have any update on whether the distance offered for East Dulwich Charter has changed much this year? I am getting mixed messages from parents at my children's school whereby apparently some parents are saying that the intake hasn't expanded this year and the furthest distance offered is still currently around the Crystal Palace Road mark (which seems pretty much in line with last year), but i understood from the school's website and scarlettbank's really helpful posts above that the intake has increased by an additional class of 30.

I wonder whether there's an update on how long it takes to sell a house? What's the local market like now? Is it taking longer?

Hi, I'm new to the forum so please go easy on me. There seems to be a tremendous wealth of personal experiences with building companies on the site, however I am not able to find too many recommendations for specifically companies specialising in side and rear exstension work. I have been able to find the following: 1. Build team (mixed reviews) 2. Plus rooms (generally positive) 3. Privilege (good reviews). Has anyone else recently completed a side return exstension and have some recommendations for builders that we could approach? Furthermore any recommendations tips would also be greatly received. I.e. have people found it better to go with a separate architect/ architectural design co or go in house? I can see benefits to both myself and how far out of the back rear elevation will Southwark council typically allow rear extensions to go? Any help/advice on the above would be greatly received.
