Hi


We viewed a terraced property for sale today in hilversum crescent, east dulwich grove. Though not great to look at the outside, really liked the inside, spacious and a lovely gArden, also location seems quite good. But wanted to get some feedback on the area, neighbourhood, crime rates, people etc before we decide make an offer. Being first time buyers , we want to make sure we do the right checks . Any feedback would be appreciated

My mother in law lives in one of these properties and has done for more than 20 years. Nothing significant ever happens around there, you will get your usual drunks shouting in the night etc but no real criminal activity. Sometimes the flight path becomes annoying when its in use over that end of East Dulwich Grove but none of this is out of ordinary for London. The neighbours on each row tend to know each other and are welcoming and friendly. I think its a really good location, and prices are good for the space also.


I wouldn't hesitate to buy there and I've known the area for 7 years.

I live on one of the neighbouring roads and this area is lovely. I think you'd be lucky to live there. The only thing worth possibly mentioning is traffic/vehicles associated with the school run at Alleyns. I don't find this to be a big problem though as it is limited to those times of day and vehicles don't travel at speed. Good luck!

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
