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?

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
