I may have to move in the new year and wanting to stay in SE22 my budget is at the new build end of the market. Looking online, of the 20 houses in SE22 that are within my budget, 13 are on or around Abbotswood Road and I wondered why so many people are trying to sell up from there at the moment. Is it because of the proposed redevelopment of DHFC or is it to do with the quality of the houses themselves?

I have lived there for 17 years and as far as I know nothing to do with DHFC or the houses. I think some people may be just trying to cash in on the high prices at the moment. It's a great [;ace to live - so quiet, yet near all the transport links and has a great sense of community.

As someone who put an Abbotswood Rd house up for sale a couple of months ago, Ladygooner has it exactly right. Unfortunately lots of other people seem to have the same idea, so we've now taken it off the market for the present time.


It is a lovely area, though. Don't be put off by the sudden rush.

Lots of landlords trying to cash in on the peak and missing it. It's a good location but new build isn't everyone's cup of tea. Small houses but very quiet road. At the Talbot Road end there was or is a planning application to build a gym or block of flats by the train line with access via Talbot road. Residents at the other end of Abbotswood share ownership of the land bordering the train line and use it for allotments. No issues besides the lack of period features, if you can stomach that (many can't).

Having sold one last year I think that many people that buy them out grow them. What we found when selling was the people were casting their gaze in that direction after having surveys done on the general stock and realising that buying a Victorian house is a quick way of losing your cash in repairs and maintenance.


We were there a very happy 9 years. Its a beautiful place to live!

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
