Dulwich estate?

[TheCat]

This may be a really stupid question....but how do I confirm whether or not my house is on the Dulwich Estate?

We're thinking of getting an extension done, and properties on the Dulwich Estate also need approval from the Estate as well as Southwark Council. I've combed the Dulwich estate website, which has extensive details on what you need to do it you want to make changes to your freehold property located on the estate. But I cant seem to find details of the boundaries of the estate.

We've lived in the house for for 7 years, and I cant recall ever getting a letter from the Dulwich Estate, which suggests we don't fall within. But, we're on the borders of Dulwich village/East Dulwich, so just want to make sure.

can someone point me in the right direction?

Call them?

If you don't get a bill from them once a year then unlikely you're inside their boundary.

If you were you or your solicitors would have had to notify them when you bought the property and pay a change of ownership fee, so unlikely unless you've forgotten, and if you've not heard from them in eight years seems you're probably not. Still, a quick call should set your mind at rest.

I don?t know if this link will work but it is a Southwark document and I found it by googling it. There is a not very clear map of the Estate.

Worked for me. See figure 4.
