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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
