Not quite as simple as that though is it? If money were no object I wouldn't have to think about how long my commute to work was because I wouldn't be working. Or consider how affordable property was in the dream area. But it has to be said, as compromises go, this is a pretty decent one.

I've lived in Dulwich pretty much all my life and wouldn't really want to move out of the area so a nice big house in the village would do me but if I did move out and money was no object I'd quite fancy number 3 Cheyne Walk (Keith Richards old house) on the Chelsea embankment and and weekend pile on the Kent/Sussex borders near the sea.

If there's still a points system, maybe because they don't have enough points.


I once looked into moving there but didn't meet the criteria because I was a) too old b) didn't have a zillion pounds savings and c) didn't have scarce skills. I think the only thing I got points for was my educational level :-$

Not England.


Definitely not England.


In fact nowhere on this piss drenched archipelago comes close to somewhere I would actually want to live if work, money and my family weren?t the motivating factors. Apart from London maybe for what it offers as a city but I?m over that now.


My own island in the Cyclades I think. With a surfable break and an island of ill repute close by so that I don?t get bored.

      Should I buy a property that has multiple subsidence claims?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      I don't think you actually will find any properties at all in Clapham common for £1m that are a lot bigger than a probate property in East Dulwich.    A lot smaller for the same money maybe.

      What happened to Clapham? You are going to get subsidence in most places.. if you have the money and thinking about resale or letting plus schools, amenities then certain parts of Herne Hill would be fine.. Plenty of people on forum would love to have clearly the budget you have to buy a property.. Your problem is, tbh.. you want a bargain and that is not going to happen in the areas you are looking in.. Most properties, with respect are sold before coming on the market or via word of mouth.. My advice, work with an agent not several as they compare notes, accept the fact that if you go via an agent, owner will be paying a fee to the agent.. Guess you are what is called “time waster”…     Actually, why don’t you buy in the country..

      @Sephiroth I agree and since most affordable courier companies now expect you to stay in for at least half a day for a delivery and even then have weasel-worded T&Cs that outline that half day 'window' as an aim not a guarantee, making it is moveable delivery 'feast', it is no wonder parcels go missing.

      People don’t go out of their way to leave  their valuables out on the porch  they are most likely at work when a delivery company decides on their behalf to just leave it on the doorstep.  They are the problem not “people being surprised when their items disappear”
