Million pound properties

[Maurice]

Apparently the website of choice right now is zoopla, for the mortgage industry use it to find real values of houses. It's quite interesting, and don't forget you can refine their estimate.

What dear Alan fails to mention is the cluster of expensive properties in Camberwell are sheltered from the rot that is the main bit of Camberwell. Most of us avoid it at all costs. And the other cluster is near Myatts Fields, which is a community desperately trying to call itself 'east Kennington' or Oval or 'anything but Camberwell'.

Do zoopla your own house value, it's marvelous!

I'm with ??????? here BTW

I do own a property yes, but I have got lock jaw from yawning so hard on this one.

Alan do you have an I-phone ? let us know your killer apps as I could do with a snooze later.

Bl**DY HELL

W**F

[Maurice]

Oh marvelous Woof - go to this web page, enter your address, then refine the estimate if it is too low for your well being.

[woofmarkthedog]

Hmmm I just had a written offer on mine at 50k over the value.

Should I have said yes then ?

Oh flip, hey ho.

W**F

Maybe prospective buyers were put off by the 'Alice in Wonderland' decor/theme! lol :))

My great Aunt just sold her property last year in Dulwich Villiage for over ?1million.

There's one near the picture gallery on for just under ?5million at the moment. It's really groovy.

what about the other side of Dulwich? West Dulwich. There must be more on that side?

159 in SE21

[ed_pete]

Very nice.

[tarafitness]

wow! That place is pretty special

love the kitchen extension, quite similar to what we want to do... when we have the money!

I dream of living in a detached property with a lower basement *sigh*

[ed_pete]

Oh how things have moved on...

What a shame to loose the garden. No green space at all!

im always surprised when people here complain about camberwell (maybe i shouldnt, its the east dulwich forum :-)

comparing east dulwich with camberwell is like comparing fulham with belgravia - the architecture and centrality of the latters are in a different league..

true, camberwell green is a bit shit, but wait until late next year when the multi-million redevelopment of the entire area is finished..and camberwell church street is fast becoming quite cool (crooked well, hill bakery, theo's pizzeria, daily goods, angel & gypsies, storm, camberwell arms, silk road, mike & ollie etc etc).

Anyway, i quite like east dulwich too - great bread and ice cream! - but comparing ED and camberwell is comparing apples with oranges.

Camberwell has two major arterial roads going right through its centre, that's it's biggest problem (see also Forest Hill)

Horses for courses. I love Georgian architecture but would never live in a Georgian townhouse. The shallow footprint is great for creating a lovely sense of light but to get the same square footage as a Victorian terrace you need to be spread across far too many levels.

Victorian London for me :)

Dulwich is more of a family area with great parks and children's amenities as well as good restaurants, pubs, bars etc. Camberwell is more urban and feels more like central London, which is fine if that's what you are looking for.

[*Bob*]

Camberwell's got lots of good stuff, but on balance I prefer to be able to stand on a high street or sit outside a pub for more than two minutes - without being asked for 20p or a cigarette.

[Ruffler]

Over a million for this "doer-upper". Insane!

LondonMix - horses for courses indeed!

yes, it comes down to what people value - i moved to camberwell because it's central, it has amazing transport links and wanted a georgian house.

and discovered happening SE London in the process!

Amazing Transport links???? - must have changed a lot in from the 15 years or so I lived there. I loved Camberwell when I was young and didn't have kids...still not sure why any person under 30 lives in SE22 over SE5 if I am honest but i wouldn't go back now to live but do for a bite or, of course, the Hermits

Transport in Camberwell is, in my opinion, terrible. I couldn't live anywhere without a train or tube (yes I know it has Denmark Hill, but the line is not particularly convenient, and it is quite a walk away from Camberwell proper).

Some people seem to like buses, but I hate them. The unpredictable journey time, the unscheduled change of destination, switching drivers, etc. No... not for me.

[DulwichFox]

1 Million pounds in E.D. will buy you a 2/3 bedroom terraced property with a loft extension and a 20ft garden.

Camberwell transport links.

I live 10 mins walk from Denmark hill, from where I get regular trains to Clapham, Victoria, Blackfriars, the city, St Pancras, Canada Water, shoreditch.

If this is not great, I'm not sure what is.

Plus thameslink will de facto deliver a new tube line + bakerloo line is looking promising.
