Unless you want to downsize, prices going up is not good. As it just means you're stuck where you are and can't move and/or have to pay more stamp duty as and when you do move. Plus take on a massive mortgage.

Prices going up in a rational way is much more preferable. Or even falling, if you want to move up the ladder.

It's near Queens Road Peckham station, so not the most attractive of areas. But, still, 450k for a four bed house in 2013 was a bit of a bargain, even if one of the 'bedrooms' is no more than a box room.


But 800k now is probably not going to happen. You can get nicer 4 beds in nicer parts of London for that sort of money.

Maybe I am looking at the wider picture and not from a purely selfish viewpoint??

I wonder if the pressure on school places is a factor in prices on roads like Goodrich? Agents definitely always plug the 'in catchment of good local schools' line even though it's pretty hard to guarantee unless you're very very close.

If you scroll up to the original post at the top of the page, the link still works.


There was an article in the paper today "calling" the top of the market - interest rates are on the way up soon and that will have to cool things you would think.

I think school places are definitely a huge factor in house prices, but I'd be surprised if Goodrich is one of those roads/schools.

Sue

Surely the selfish viewpoint is now the only way to go in this country, in general, and E.D., in particular.

It must be an acknowledged fact that the A B C of humanity (Altruism,Benevolence and Compassion) are sadly and regrettably extinct in this area, compared to when I (and I do not wish to seem rude but if I may be so bold) and you were younger. If you do not go with the flow, you will be swallowed up and unceremoniously spate out. Therefore,please do not talk down your (our!!) street, as the time will come soon when cashing in is the best course of action.

Kind of hedging their bets with fuzzy language...


Graham Beale, chief executive of Nationwide, said: "We could be seeing the early sign of a natural correction in the London housing market."


He added that sales had begun to slacken in the capital, but did not predict a widespread slump. "We are going from frenetic at the start of the year to merely very, very busy."

Goodrich is heavily oversubscribed and it's stock is defo on the rise.

      Is Starmer soon to be toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Even Dories agreed that we have to maintain diplomatic relations with China rather than label them as a threat.  I don't care about Chagos, beyond that decision should have been made years ago.  He does pretty well with Trump, so give him some credit. I doubt if there is anyone in the position to take his place, as personable as Burnham is he failed in the past and is not the answer.  Just accept that you have Starmer for till the end of term.  More important to those that would not have Faridge as our next PM, still two thirds, is making the next few years work, or at the least doing well enough that we can have a centre left coalition to prevent Faridge becoming PM..

      Callows Locksmiths

      I agree Callows Locksmiths in East Dulwich really are the best - the staff are so kind and go above and beyond to help customers! I took in a Yale lock that I thought was broken and they checked it and told me that the deadlock function had been activated by mistake and pointed out that in a property with flats this would be dangerous if a fire broke out.  They then showed me how to disable it, gave me new screws (because the threads had worn) and expert advice on how to refit it - all without charge!!  Thank you!

      Music video - spot the local locations, fun thread

      Perhaps you could be pleasant rather than pedantic.  This is supposed to be a bit of fun but you have managed to already make it divisive.  I expect others will be more jolly.

      By vladi · Posted

      To many Starmer comes across as weak, indecisive a lacking a plan. The complete opposite of a conviction politician.  He can overcome these perceptions by  having a clear foreign policy and staunchly safeguarding Britain's standing in the world. So far he has alienated our closest ally over the Chagos and the two traitors spying for China. The word on the street is that the leadership void has been filled by Johnathan Powell and that Starmer  does everything Powell says. Powell should be sacked as his  links to China go back 3 decades during which he was a frequent visitor and meeting senior Chinese officials. The other connection is through his brother -Lord Powell who was chairman of the China-Britain Business Council. Both Powells are members of the 48 Group Club whose stated aim is to "connect China to the world" Has  Starmer got the guts to clear out the Augean stables?
