All the usual modern design furniture clarssics on show (massive yawn). I swear if I see another Barcelona chair - current iconic object of choice if you're keen to demonstrate a total lack of imagination - this year, I might fall into a deep coma.


We've had a good peep into these properties, from the vantage point of the flats opposite. I prefer the houses down the other end of Camberwell Grove, but I suppose this one is handier for Sainsburys (if that's important to you when you're spending one and a half million quid)

Not sure you understand the maths *Bob* but I appreciate the sentiment.


Neverhtheless, I think Camberwell Grove and Grove Park are solid gold. There may be less resilient areas such as my own beloved Selborne Village but our freeholds, off-street parking and garages should keep us competitive.


Should be interesting. ED will also be fine. Seems there is a long queue for family homes stretching via Clapham to Fulham.

The people selling the one on Forest Hill Road didn't get their million+ and have decided to rent it.


Strange.. I would have thought the handy local amenities right on their doorstep (Co-Op, DIY shop, launderette, Stationers-cum-used-car-park-lot) would have swung it. Perhaps potential buyers were put-off by not being able to back their yacht out of the car park onto the busy road.

In the long term I can't see the ?1m+ properties multiplying exponentially in ED, relatively speaking that is. Rampant inflation or increases in house prices once the current down turn has ended may very well push the majority of properties above the figurative million pound mark. However this would have to be judged relatively to other areas of Town or indeed the Country as a whole.


What are regarded as traditional million pound properties in the sub-urban context are medium to large detached or semi-detached houses, of which there is a veritable dearth in ED proper. Considering as well the tendency of developers (I use the term very loosely mostly to describe landlords) to covert a significant proportion of the typical ED terrace houses into flats and larger properties in to multiple occupancy homes; a practice I'm glad to say is in decline thanks to a planning policy change. It is hard to imagine that the typical ED house will in the near future cost over ?1 million, under normal economic conditions.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
