Hi All,


I am in the process of purchasing a property in the East Dulwich area and considering the necessity of a homebuyers/full structural survey. Initially I was happy proceeding with the mortgage valuation but I am starting to read that many properties in SE22 have suffered from subsidence.


Property was built in 1920's, is in a good state of repair and is nowhere near any trees, no cracks or signs of any subsidence or heave visible. Any advice welcome as leaning towards

Looks good then. Houses will have suffered during droughts in the last forty five years, many Victorian and Edwardian properties will be underpinned. The area was also bombed so movement there, and few houses of your age will be perfectly straight. It's South London clay so a problem for the whole area - gardens crack in summer and are waterlogged from the Autumn. Be worth checking with neighbours and with insurers as some may not cover the area, but each will have a different approach to this risk and similarly the premium.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
