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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
