'Good' road, refurbished with parking - single level which may be good for older/ disabled in an area where that's uncommon (so premium for rarity) - quite well placed for public transport and close to Horniman. Someone local with a bigger house to sell might well downsize here and stay in the area. I can see how they'd get close to their asking price.

Development opportunity. The last photo shows the next door building has a 2nd floor, so expect plans to be a for a block with 2 floors.


Otherwise a bungalow of no specific architectural merit and grounds that have been all paved over.

I can imagine someone living local on Wood Vale Or Underhill with a big 1.5 million plus house who can't manage the stairs any more and wants to stay local paying a premium for this - very few bungalows in the immediate neighbourhood for those who are starting to struggle with stairs....

Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin. Actually quite similar in some respects. Plenty of coffee shops/delis/media types/prams. Quite pretty. Community feel.


I miss the parks, Brickhouse, Palmerston, EDT, cinema and annual art extravaganza, though.

The peak in ED was probably 18 months ago when any old rubbish sold at asking and mint properties in good locations had a bidding war. Since that peak I would say achieved prices are down by up to 10%. I have just sold and got 93% of my initial asking price (which was regarded as being 'achievable' by a reputable local agent after 3 accepted offers failed over 6 months. I was happy to cash out and buy elsewhere. One local agent described the summer market as a 'horror show' and another had never seen so many flats on the market. In the absence of any good economic headwinds, rising interest rates and eye watering prices net negative migration I don't see this situation improving any time soon.


That said a lot of vendors are refusing to accept the new norm and are not selling at the moment so shortage of supply might hold prices up. Whatever the situation it is a dysfunctional market.

No idea where Bloomberg gets it's info on London to suggest a 21% drop in Southwark house prices. Same place as Trump I expect.

According to Zoopla " The average price for property in Southwark stood at ?744,750 in January 2018. This is a rise of 1.05% in the last three months (since October 2017) and rise of 0.91% since 12 months ago. In terms of property types, flats in Southwark sold for an average of ?736,184 and terraced houses for ?833,392. Which one do you trust more?

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
