"Leading" thread title tells us what you think

(PS Mick, this is all a bit boring now)

[Jeremy]

Doesn't every other house price/estate agent thread already end up like this anyway?

[vgrant]

if we didnt have house prices to fret/ gloat over, with what would we fill our days ?

Cats

I think the painting is included and is worth a million on it's own. All makes sense now.

I might do that. Or, more likely, they might have to stay put.

Fantasy price. Elsie a Road seems to lead the way with homes being advertised at ridiculous, almost offensive prices. Cannot be sustained for much longer surely.

[alice]

something similar sold there nearly 2 years ago for 1.3 - so maybe not ridiculous

elsie road houses are 50% bigger than average

[Mick Mac]

Ok Alice, so it's your house. Good luck with the process.

[alice]

ta!

[Jeremy]

They are big, detached houses in a good location with decent gardens - and even garages. There's not much else around to compare them to.

[Mick Mac]

But 2m Jeremy.... Surely not. Even for 2400 sq ft.

[MrBen]

I can hear the new Coldplay album on in the background. Hope Jeremy was doing the food?

Did I tell you I'm allergic to cauliflower?

[Jeremy]

I'd try to knock off a few hundred quid to cover all the white paint it will take to cover the horrid black walls.

[edcam]

Yay! Another house prices thread!

[Mick Mac]

Subject within a subject edcam. Read and enjoy. Stay awake.

I'd love that house, not THAT actual house as it is now, but before they f*cked it up and stripped the soul out of it

I'm good with renovations and all that, but how the hell can you get so little love into such a space, is beyond me

I know taste is subjective and all that, but this place has all the hallmarks of cashwank interior design that I loathe

Is it still for sale ?

*shakes piggy bank, sighs*

[red devil]

What Seabag said, doesn't look like anyone actually lives there, could it be a development?...

Plenty of ridiculous prices in Dulwich and horrible houses. Our 2 bed private rented ex local authority flat has just been revalued at ?65,000 more than it was only 7/8 months ago. Worlds gone crazy! My mum and dads 8 bed house in Dorset has risen by only ?100,000 in 9 years with extensive renovations. Shame you can't just pick it up and crane it to Dulwich. We'd be stinking rich and have the only purbeck stone built house in Dulwich.

There are signs of a slowdown in London though. Latest figures say that prices are rising in just 12% of boroughs, compared to 86% in February. And in central London and more affluent postcodes, like W and SW, prices are begining to fall. Who knows if that's a temporary blip or not. The pound has increased in value recently, which makes prices more expensive for foreign investors, and that might explain what is going on in central London postcodes, but the heat has also gone out of the sealed bids market too. Perhaps with forewarnings of interest rates rises to come (as indeed they have to) buyers are being more cautious?
