Million pound properties

[jimbo1964]

It's an enormous house.

[Alan Dale]

It's now 12 for Camberwell and only 10 for East Dulwich.

It lacks character :-|

[nutty]

euurggh Camberwell?

[*Bob*]

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)

Alan Dale 7 Jan Camberwell Grove ?1.25m - according to Wooster Stock website, this is no longer under offer ...

Quite cheap compared to East Dulwich. Must be the location.

You certainly get a lot for your money at the top of Dog Kennel Hill.

[Alan Dale]

So who's going to be first to twenty?

I think it's going to be close..

I do accept that ED has more depth to its expensive housing stock but thanks to two streets we seem to have the edge a t the premium end.

Seriously, who gives a flying?

[macroban]

Alan forgot his update.

[Alan Dale]

So clearly someone gives a flying fig.

12 - 11 now I believe.

Very exciting

[*Bob*]

Who will be the first back down to 10?

[Alan Dale]

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.

[Alan Dale]

East Dulwich has opened up a bit of a lead now. 15 to 12.

[*Bob*]

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.

[lofty]

The front fence and garden aren't really inspiring. Paying that much for a property you would expect something more.

[Alan Dale]

16 to 12 - the gap is widening..

[macroban]

These days it would be more interesting to see whether SE5 or SE22 has the first ?100k property.

[Alan Dale]

18 -12 now. ED has almost won.

It was first to twenty...

[FrustratedLawyer]

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.

[Alan Dale]

ED has won.

Hit the magic 20 mark.

First to 50?

[Brendan]

I can barely retain the contents of my bladder from the excitement.
