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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
