Someone is selling a new build on Tintagel Crescent for 700k without a garden, it was formerly a tiny bungalow that sold for less than 180k.


I will be looking for a 2 bed next spring in the area, inc Peckham Rye and Nunhead and closer to 800k seems common in areas like Dunstans and Landcroft Rd. I suppose the prices might go up even more now because of the stamp duty change.


Any thoughts?

Louisa,

Thanks for the suggestion, but no.


London Mix, thanks for the links, that is what I expected prices to be, but it appears that prices have gone up again. I hope I am wrong. The sold prices you linked to are possibly houses that went on the market a year ago.

If you go on rightmove there is only one 2 bed house currently listed from more than 700k. Most of the places sold were listed this year and fairly recently. I don't think prices have moved in the area significantly in the last few months.

The house listed for 775k, is 1,200 sft (larger than the average 3 bed terrace in ED, though they appear to be cheating by including unconverted loft space). Despite this, the house hasn't had an acceptable offer despite being on the market for nearly 3 months, which suggests its overpriced.


If you include sold subject to contract you'll see the vast majority of Victorian 2 beds for way under 800K.


The idea that a typical 2 bed house with a garden costs 800K plus in ED isn't backed up by the information available and it doesn't do anyone (except sellers) any good to talk up the market. All the houses below are period houses that have come the market in the last few months and have gone under offer. The asking price may also be higher the final sales price accepted which seems to be the trend at the moment.

The pictures for number 25 are before it was presumably done up as the pics relate to the previous 2012 listing (as it notes on Rightmove). Some people don't want current information online.


Anyhow, since that house sold in 2014, 3 more 2-bed houses have sold on Jennings for 675k, 665k, and 642k and all are in good condition. Given those are the most recent sales, as a buyer I'm not sure why you are ignoring them and looking for evidence that 2 beds are worth significantly more than they are actually selling for.

nowhere have I said that two bed garden houses are 800k plus.

Wasn't this you? How have I misunderstood what you were trying to say, seriously?

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think any of the comments so far addressed the question of the potential of stamp duty to affect prices.


This is an interesting article with quite a broad view:
