Very interesting story this, and reminds me of the adverts that appeared when the flats in Aura Court ("the local Aylsham Centre offers a goodchoice of shops" my arse!) were selling, often off-plan.


I live in one of the red brick flats up the hill from it, and round the corner from ?2m house on Colyton. My flat has an uninterrupted view across the London skyline, and a fabulous park across the road which my flat does overlook (I refer to it as the front garden) with Nunhead Cemetery behind us (the back garden). Having lived here for 25 years I never need much reminding just how fabulous the area is, and yet the advertising lifestyle package that goes with these c.?300,000 flats - (let alone a ?2m house which doesn't have great views, does not strictly overlook the park as advertised since it is not above it, but across the road from it) - remind me of the lifestyle I should be living in the flat I also own so close by.

So I went to Ikea and bought a nice cream rug and bought an overpriced slice of average carrot cake the other day in the park cafe.

Now I'm there. I'm there!

Cor a right sad bunch of comments on here!


Envy and desire all mixed up you sad foolish1?s.


Who gives a damn!


The market will find its price in terms of affordability need and that?s how it?s been since the beginning of time.


What is this East Dulwich Socialist central!


I am truly saddened by the visible lack of shame this kind of thread does nothing but drag us all down.


Shame on you all!


Busy Busy bodies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Achieving absolutly NOTHING!

I see your point. but bla bla bla bla bla lalalalalalalalalalalalal would be a more concise rounded retort.


More fun too.

If they did they?d be moronic.


What would be ironic would be a ?250,000 flat with 10 million quids worth of antique furniture where the owner was broke and he / she didn't know it was worth squillions.

That would be ironic.


Yes I know nothing better to do with my time too.

Back to the original house. Do you think the price reflect (partly) that it now has a blue plaque on it as Percy Lane Oliver used to live and work there. The place is missing on the original picture of the front of the house but is there on a second. I noticed it when I was running past yesterday. Hence why it is called Oliver House.

So what are they trying to get blood out of bricks and mortar?


Blimey I still really do have too much time on my hands!

I've joined the thread


"4 those with too much time on our hands lets ask some incredible stupid questions about the price of a house thread".


Can the thread title be changed?


I can think of even more suitable titles. Mostly including swear words tho.

Chuckle.


thebeard... you've only posted nineteen times on the forum, twelve of which have been on housing threads. That means 63% of what you have to say is about housing.


Without a doubt, you're the most housing obsessed person on this forum. By a f*cking HUGE margin.


It is therefore, with much irony..... etc. etc.

As a Beard and not a Bird.


I?ve found property a rather more interesting subject on the forums threads than cafe culture, organic bull turd and baby nappies.


Also rather difficult to get excited about robbery and dog?s poo on the pavements.


Time is limited I?m amazed I?ve posted anything.


How the busy NIMBY bodies busy themselves on here with their stupid questions and idiotic views.


I felt (idiotically) compelled to redress the balance more fool me! I guess.


I Chuckle sadly at the nonsense of it all and wish there were more interesting subjects to read.

Well, of course, there are.


Out of around 150,000 posts on the forum (10,000 by erm...), only 3,000 are property related.


So arguably for other people there are plenty more interesting subjects to read (98%), but none that interest you. QED you regard property as the only interesting subject.


Since they are by your definition 'stupid questions and idiotic views', then that's what you find interesting.


Ergo, your compulsion to redress is ill-advised. You'll only remove the only subject you find interesting.

You don't half write a load of boxxocks!


Just exactly why are you standing up for people who stick their noses into the price of someone else?s house? Or worst.


I don?t go round looking at what other people have spent on their cars or clothes and ridicule them or question their spending.


As I stated early on what anyone asks for his or her house flat or shxit hole is his or her business.


The market will decide the price!


I find it particularly idiotic. Like 98% of the other boxxocks on here. The 3,000 properties related posts are mostly bollocks too.


WHY stick your nose into other peoples business?






Methinks the lady doth protest too much!



What R U some kind of thick xxxx?

Darling? Scintillating thread?

Are you taking the pixx.

Such a Polite bunch of superior Twats and so familiar too.

Guess it?s ok to pry and get busy and get familiar and condescending too.


If we were French we?d be blabbing on about building our next new house and burning sheep in the road outside.


If we were Italian we?d be voicing the merits of one door design and colour over another.


If we were German we?d be making the most technically advanced housing possible.


But as we are East Dulwich we are wondering how someone else has the audacity to ask X price for their shack and oh dear have you seen the state of their cheap furniture.


It?s only because we put up with such shallow shite that we live in such shit surrounded by scum.



This is about as scintillating as it could possibly get, don?t you think?

Me thinks 'thebeard' is after a wordy fight.


You don't happen to live there do you? Or are connected with it in some other way. You are protesting rather a lot about this particular thread.


I still think the owners are trying to cash in on the blue plaque thingy.


Oh..... and 'thebeard', I am allowed an opinion aren't I?

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
