Welcome to our area! I live in Nutbrook St just over the roofs of Amott Rd. We are a special enclave, not Peckham nor East Dulwich nor Peckham Rye, but right between all three. It was a big local secret till the East Dulwich Forum was invented and people started to tell their stories about it! When you are settled in, I'd love to come and meet your fostered cats, and talk to you about the cat fostering. Can you PM me so I can explain my interest and set up email contact?

i just moved to ondine road about 3 months ago and am really happy there! i was also a little worried as moved from a v v safe bit of clapham, but am absolutely loving it. have had no hassles at all (tho admittedly if its after 10 i would prob take a taxi from peckham rye station) and i just love the way this area is a real mix of people (after all the hoorah henrys of clapham with their generic ysl polo tops tucked into chinos :)) Neighbours are particularly lovely and helpful. Gowlett serves a good pint and amazing pizza. Enjoy!

Your're in a far better area to be honest... just call it Peckham though : )

Can you believe it? The landlord of our place now has emailed offering to let us stay! However, we emailed him 4 weeks ago and when he didn't reply we put down a deposit on the Keston Rd house - plus, everyone's been so lovely about Keston Rd that we're actually looking forward to moving there.


However, it does mean that I have to give up fostering cats so if anyone can help with offering a foster home for any RSPCA cats that would be fantastic - I have 2 lovely ladies at the mmoment, Tuppence and Moley, black and white and fantastic. We also have Mousey, a gorgeous, long haired tortoiseshell and white 15yr old who we love to bits. Please let me know!


thanks

morning all,


further to this topic: i am interested in a property in the bellenden area of peckham, on nigel road. now i know the topic of Bellenden has been covered a few times before on this forum, but some of the forums replies by members appear quite a few years old now, and i wanted more 'up-to-date' feedback if i may? now i realise some of you will say its great, and equally some of you will say its not but what i wanted was more specific information on the nigel road/relf road area, or should i dare to say "east bellenden", lol? i trust my instincts and i really like how it looks, but i have heard rumours of some of the roads around there being used as rat runs - what are your thoughts?

Some of the roads there are cut throughs particularly Nigel Road, Nigel Road itself is not bad house-wise but another consideration is you may have trouble parking as it's pay and display and often very fully parked

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
