Pressume it's the house being done up by J Eclair's husband. Had a look at the brochure - some interesting design ideas although didn't agree with all of them. With no off street parking and what is a very busy cut-through road I would be surprised if they got as much as ?700k.

or the gradual realisation that they're a delusional tit

interesting that you can buy unrefurbised equivalent, also 4 bedrooms, for 500,000:

A prospective buyer would have to be very stupid not to notice the competition is 59% of the price. Is the refurb really worth an extra ?340,000 plus view of a noisy building site for three years?

That house is certainly not my cup of tea. Whatever loser came along and decided to refurb it and sell for that sort of price needs to realise that houses and appartments on the Thames with better facilities and views and within closer proximity to the city of london are going for similar values. It's east dulwich, not f****** Docklands.

been on the market a month and already dropped in price ?75,000. Presumably no offers anywhere near asking price.

See attached image from rightmove with "property bee" showing the price drop. You can install property bee at http://www.property-tools.co.uk/ - it remembers houses you've browsed and highlights any changes to the listings.

presumably Foxton's definition of sold includes "sold", "under off", "was under offer but now back on the market", and "sold a year ago but we'll leave the sign up because it's free advertising"

It's one of "Britain's best homes" apparently!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/main.jhtml?xml=/property/2008/02/21/lpjonny121.xml

Another house that's been Beenied by someone hoping to make millions by arranging furniture.


Getting an article in the paper is good marketing, but the Telegraph isn't flattering about the location. Even the idiots at foxtons have used pictures showing how overlooked the garden is by the neighbour's roof terrace.

jesus there are some sad people on this forum, they can't help but pass judgement on things they really know nothing about. the guy who said the house on underhill road "really wasn't that spacious " must live in a palace as its actually one of the largest houses in SE22 on the market right now. and it wasn't "beenied" either. it was and is as far as i know under offer and proceeding. and no, its not my house but i happen to know the people who own it and its shoddy behavior, in my opinion to start pin pointing particular people (or their houses in this case) for your particular brand of what sounds like jealousy. just think, if you knew the people you gossip about perhaps you wouldn't do it?


edited out of courtesy

C'mon Safesurfer.. you know how it works.


If The Telegraph says it's a dream home and the price tag is way out of people's reach, then the appropriate response is to slag it off (even though most people would piss their pants at the chance of living in such a blatantly top-notch abode)


Get with the programme.. join in the Cult of Envy.

It's a very dangerous time to be buying houses and people have got every right to be skeptical about the merits of properties that have been refurbed by developers (as the Telegraph article implies) and put up for sale at hundreds of thousands of pounds more than anything comparable.

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
