Its been about 3 years. Its owned privately I believe, purchased in 2001. I imagine the owners have just let it fall in to disrepair for one reason or another. Its really annoying walking past it, as I would love to live in one of those house, perfect location for us. For one to just sit empty like that is really sad. Shame really, last known selling price for it was ?118,00 would be worth over triple that now!
Could well be housing association. I remember seeing the tenants moving out years ago. It wasn't board up at the beginning if I recall but must of had issues with security as they installed all the grilling and the high security door. I think there are a few housing association and hostels around that area. Shame they aren't doing anything with it, especially given so many people are desperate for housing locally.

Subject: FW: Enquiry: Property at 81 East Dulwich Grove


Dear sir


I refer to your email dated 26 April 2014.


The property is under going major refurbishment works and work will commence there in two weeks. We will let the property as soon as work is completed.


Thank you very much

Although it appears to have been empty and unloved for some time, Housing Associations do not have unlimited access to funds for major works, so it may have taken some time for it to reach the top of the funding pile - if work is starting soon that should add to social housing locally - which must be a good thing. If it's 'refurbishment' that may come from a different budget allocation than acquisition or new build - and may well be competing for funding with tenanted properties. Obviously they should be funding necessary repairs on currently tenanted properties as a priority (I would hope) before expanding their housing stock.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
