Thought we'd let you know that our beloved East Dulwich is being featured on Kirsty and Phil's LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION on Thursday the 5th September, 8pm, channel 4


We had the pleasure of having some filming done in the pub so fingers crossed we will make the final cut.


A heads up, we will be running a competition on twitter on Friday 6th for those that tune in and have an eagle eye paired with an impeccable memory......or bbc iplayer!


The prize will be a bottomless Saturday brunch for two with unlimited hot drinks, a top notch brunch and as much toast and brunch cocktails as you fancy.


With love and excitement


The Great Exhibition

I hope they don't show Sydenham as an affordable alternative. The less people looking to buy here the slower the prices will go up, and I need them to not go up too much between now and next year.


That and the fact I don't want people who's target was East Dulwich to be my neighbours!

I think it may feature what was my home.


The lovely Kirsty was trying to film a closing shot on the corner of Marmora & Scutari with the Shard in the background as I was arriving home. Belatedly recognising her, and as she was standing almost under our "for sale" sign I asked if she would find us a buyer. That didn't happen but I did invite her and the crew to film from our roof terrace where the view of the Shard was better.

I've always thought it seemed like an incredibly pointless show... especially at the moment when there is so little to choose from on the market. And the way prices have been going, the last thing we need is extra publicity! Still, I suppose it's fun to see your area on TV.

Giving it some thought - WhickerMan perhaps to reflect the new West Country location

Can you get channel 4 on bbc iplayer now?!

I'm not anti East Dulwich at all, I'm from there.


I am anti stupid TV Shows like this telling the world "if you can't afford East Dulwich, try these surrounding areas". I'm from East Dulwich, and I can't afford to live there. Fine, I accept that's the way the world works. I am hoping however to buy somewhere next year, and I have really fallen for Sydenham (been here 6 years now). A show like this can start a rush for the area for those who can't manage ED Prices (who the Hell can), and I don't want that.


I have nothing against the average Joe who lives in ED. If I won the lottery this weekend though, I'd buy in Sydenham not ED. More for my money and nicer housing stock.


Having said all that, if they're looking for the types of houses on Marmora Road, they're way out of the sort of price range I'd be looking at anyway. Those houses are beautiful!

Hey Marmora Man,


Have looked longingly at the roof terraces as per your soon to be 'ex-home' ...any chance of getting a look see at the view from your terrace before you depart???


I'm no celeb, but love living on Marmora Road, would be interesting to see it from a different perspective other than my garden flat view!!

Seconded! I currently have a view of speeding 63 buses and my garden. Go on, please?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
