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?

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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
