Asking prices and the sums at which sales are agreed are often very different. Depending upon the agent and the client type and the client's motivations, two identical properties might come to market at very different prices. This particular house might seem expensive but it's got an enfilade (or something) so it must be worth every penny.

100% squeaky floors from what i can see the floorboards are really old 

Croocked walls (as the picture of greem bathroom shows the walls are not exactly straight and there is signs of cracks allover)

Do you speak about the houses of your own clients this way? 🤔

Inigo is an estate agents that interior designs/ decorates it’s for sale houses so they all have the same earthy tones. And then inflate prices. 
It’s mainly aimed at people who don’t have the imagination to decorate with colour or any skills at interior design.

Vastly overpriced. Larger and more substantial houses in market for less

It is beautiful but it’s only how it’s been done. It’s not structurally amazing and the garden is basic.

There are some fab interior designers in Dulwich, you can make your own home look like a show home

thing is, it’s foreign investors that are also in the market, or did you think that all rented properties are owned by  locals?

They’re just an estate agent, they don’t do interior design. However they ‘curate’ what they sell by only taking on certain styles of houses, which is why they all look similar to you. They have a certain target customer who is looking for this style of house and they will list houses all in this period style. Their sister company is The Modern House which does the same but for modernist looking properties (we had them in to value ours)  

It’s an interesting idea as it goes against the traditional estate agent model of being focused on an area (whatever the property type) and instead focusing on a property type nationwide. 
 

They keep a directory of interior designers, architects, etc. On their website. Thats how we found our architects when we refurbished our place. 
 

hope that helps

    • 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.
