  1. I'm hoping somebody might be kind enough to give some insider local info. We're looking to buy a house in SE London or nearby Kent areas. At the moment we're looking at E Dulwich, Nunhead, Brockley, Forest Hill, but we are really flexible as it's family friendly and near great schools. We're hoping for a three bed period for around ?850k. Where would you look if you were in our situation on that budget? Is there an area where you get decent primaries and secondaries (I imagine that might be a tiny slither of a few streets were the areas overlap?!) Thank you so much
  2. Thanks so much for your responses - greatly appreciated! I'm thinking around Dalmain looks very suitable. I guess if you're nearer Dalmain, Stillness won't be an option? Near Horniman Primary would be amazing, but I think it's a bit out of our price range now? She's one now and will apply when three, so I guess not too far off. But I know they can change, so by a few decent ones would be great. Do you get three choices of decent nearby schools, or is it basically a case of you're only realiscally going to get a choice of one, this is the case in Muswell Hill. Does anyone know how close you need to live to get into Chelwood nursery - is it .25 of a mile, like with primaries?! Also what is the furthest distance usually like for Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham? I know things can change, but all things being equal, I guess I might as well try and live within. Huge thanks again for all your help! :) I know it could well change, but all things being equal I guess it's worth a punt.
  3. We are hoping to move long-term to around the above and would love to hear your thoughts on the best spots to locate ourselves please. We have a one-year-old, and even though it seems premature, I feel like whichever road we pick will determine which school they ends up at, as catchments are often small. Our budget is around ?700,000 for a, hopefully Victorian, house (which rules out areas around big parts of Forest Hill and Brockley). Which bit/school would you personally go for? Would like her to a lovely well-rounded school, but obviously without living there it's hard to find out anything other than Ofsted and league tables. Are there areas where you could be well located for both secondary and primary? Also any similar areas worth a look? Thanks so much!
