I would love a 10 minute 'time freeze' in Fox's house


Much stuff in there from 'the shop' I imagine

That made me laugh out loud. I can't imagine why anyone would want to live that way but I guess that's why I live in a terraced house in zone 2

Nice period building and with a workshop in the back. But when you see stuff like this with only 1300 sq ft internal living space max going for ?1.2M...in Peckham. You know you're firmly in massive bubble / future implosion territory. Although someone hocked to the eyeballs themselves...and not geared up for a 5% + mortgage rate will now vociferously claim otherwise.


Time to get the glasses on, fix your rate for 5 years and ride out the coming recession...

You've gone all Protect and Survive on us MrD.

Is the 5% a prediction?

If so, base rate or high street average?...

Just making the earth shattering, tentative suggestion that base rates will revert to their 100 year average at some point in the next decade RD. And that wage inflation is unlikely to compensate or support a gentle deleveraging of household debt.


Many of the evil remnants of 2008 are still deep within the global economy and the next one wont bring down the banks...more likely the people.


Total mess at the moment. If you had a spare ?100k hard to know where you'd invest it without taking a hit or barely keeping up with inflation....

5% within the next 10 years? Unthinkable. Looking at historical rates is pointless, you need to think of the economic conditions which would lead to a significant hike, and how likely that might look...

Unthinkable? Really? Millions would have said about 15% in 1992 (ERM...Europe anyone?). And it's a refusal to accept the eminently possible amongst millions of hocked home owners that is a concern. First time buyer millenials who know no different especially.

the workshop in the back has its own access to the street and could easily be turned into a two bedroom cottage to sell off separately or to be shared with family. Loads of potential.

    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
