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.

    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
