There are ten property sales on the land registry for SE22 which were for over ?1million pounds.

Camberwell has recently closed the gap. We have 9 such properties.

Peckham is a little behind with just 1

but look at Dulwich proper 110!

So SE5 or SE22 - who will be first to twenty?

Think about all those houses that have been advertised for ?600-?700k in SE22 since the summer. Now look at prices of houses sold between September and October on the houseprices website. Not many are ?500k+, and I only see one that sold in the 600-700 range (159 Friern for 607k in early September). Evidence surely that the high prices that we see in estate agents' windows are largely wishful thinking. Anyone who uses those figures to estimate their property wealth should probably knock 10% off the figure they have in mind.
Curious. There are at least two properties in my very short road that have changed hands in the last 12-18 months that are not listed there. Given that virtually nobody in this road moves, ever (so each sale is, well, the talk of the road), that's a fairly major omission.
I moved out of ED 18 months ago and have only returned once since, having lived there since 1996. I couldn't believe how busy it was, traffic jams down LL and Foxton's cars everywhere, it seemed to have turned into Northcote (nappy valley) Road. On the subject of house prices, it's interesting how many properties have been on the market for quite some time and haven't shifted, it's probably due to them using Foxtons and having their property over valued by vast amounts. Still like ED but it's changed for the worse....

I can think of one obvious improvement

People who leave and go back to disparage are better left as left.

I'd be interested to hear of an example of a tube opening causing a drop in house prices.


Whilst I agree that the London Bridge train is more useful I believe it is ones inclusion on the globlly recognised tube map that brings the hordes and ensuing house price inflation.


Also being a single stop from Clapham will make DH an obvious overflow - Balham and Tooting have done well for no other reason than proximity to Clapham.

"Whilst I agree that the London Bridge train is more useful I believe it is ones inclusion on the globlly recognised tube map that brings the hordes and ensuing house price inflation."


That seems to assume that rampant housing inflation and hordes are a good thing.


"Also being a single stop from Clapham will make DH an obvious overflow - Balham and Tooting have done well for no other reason than proximity to Clapham."


Actually, ED doesn't seem to have done too badly with the limited transport links it has already, and in spite of the undeniable attraction of being liked more closely to Clapham (I realise that it's inconceivable that anyone could really not want that). Also, surely Clapham is only a single stop from Denmark Hill already, but that hasn't made much difference to DH so far. Personally, when I chose to come to live in ED, the last thing on my mind was whether it was convenient to Clapham, and I have very little interest, in terms of the EDF, in what benefits the ELL will bring to Camberwell.


However, in terms of its usefulness for ED, if I were to wish to take the ELL, I would almost certainly travel one stop to Peckham Rye from ED station and change onto the ELL there.

Whether you personally like or dislike Clapham is moot. My own opinion is that it's ok. Of the two I prefer East Dulwich.


House price inflation in ED in spite of poor links to Clapham does not imply good links to Clapham would not inflate prices further. ED is still cheaper than Clapham. Similarly I am not saying that the only route to house price inflation is to build transport connections to Clapham.


You are right though that DH is currently only one stop from Clapham but you are wrong in your assumption that prices don't reflect this. It was certainly mentioned when we moved here. The problem is it is one train stop not a tube. Tubes increase values more than train stations. Again though don't confuse this with me saying tubes are the only cause of house price inflation.


You are entitled to take as little interest in the ELLE impact on Camberwell as you wish. Your disinterest however I'm sure is not shared by all users of the forum especially those living in Camberwell, of which there are many.


Back to the million pound properties and a quick search of rightmove and findaprperty implies that ED is likely to get the next four and open up a bit of a gap but who knows where we'll be in ten years.


I'll keep you posted..

    • 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. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
