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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
