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” -
Yes, Direct Line automatically rejected it when I tried to get a quote. Insurers really are a nightmare, and they have a huge psychological impact on buyers. When you’re about to put £1m into a pile of bricks, and the insurance companies either refuse to insure it or quote an outrageous premium, of course it’s going to scare anyone. I’m not actually worried about subsidence in this house main building , but the bay window has definitely been affected by that tree, and the council won’t remove it. When the movement continues, rebuilding the bay window would cost at least £40k. The seller will never admit this, but there are already houses on that street where the bay windows have had to be rebuilt. If not East Dulwich, I’m now looking towards the west. There are a lot of subsidence issues with properties in Forest Hill, and Bromley and West Wickham aren’t really for me. I’m not interested in any part of Dulwich except ED, ND and Dulwich Village — and obviously ED offers the best value.
