an entry level PR job. I'm surprised she earns enough to live in Brixton tbh
Professionals send Brixton property prices surging by 15%
- Thread starter editor
- Start date
Thats what I thought: Admin Assistant in the real world.
As for earnings/rents: you cant put a price on the vibrancy and diversity of the area (!)(and daddy is subsidising, although he is probably concerned for her 'edgy' choice)

I'm amazed that this is a surprise to people.
A) what did they think was going to happen when Brixton market started getting newer, trendier units in?
B) with the increase in house prices in adjoining post codes, it's bound to happen.
Did people really think that the markets were going to be a little hidden gem no fucker found out about???

I don't think it's a surprise to anyone who's lived here for any length of time.

You're trying to claim you caused a brixton house price surge. Bit full of yourself, aintcha?

The fields were much greener then

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Exactly - need to compare with the market in general for it to mean anything Our Brixton house increased in value by a factor of 3.8 between 1996 and 2006, and that was when it was Granville Arcade and all yams and plaintain.

you cant put it all down to the market - this process has been going on for years. Brixton is one of the few places in south London with a tube station and very close to central London, so people want to live here. There's been a huge population surge - I'd say a rough guesstimate of an extra 10,000 homes built in the last 15 years, not to mention all the old houses converted in to flats.

According to the article "A two-bedroom flat that would have sold 18 months ago for £270,000 is now coming on to the market for at least £300,000."

What's happening with that anyway? Is it ever going to happen?

mmm I dunno, other estates still line either side of Walworth Road, and the shopping centre is just being refurbed now, so what effect it'll have on the high street is debatable.
I can't imagine many large high st names will want to invest in the empty retail units.

Who's expressing "surprise" here?
I guess I don't mean just in this thread... But it was inevitable, even back when everyone was overjoyed at the rejuvenation of the market etc

I can't see the attraction of a tube station. Just means small cramped and overcrowded trains. Give me my proper train from Gipsy Hill any day over the tube.

They're much quicker and there's loads more of them. I really miss living on a tube line.

"Everyone was overjoyed"?!
Have you been on the hyperbole juice tonight or something?
Not at all. I think I'll just ignore you right now though. I'm bored of your efforts to try and argue with me.

Or, you could just stop wildly exaggerating.

Every 15 minutes is frequent enough to me given I don't have to travel bent over crushed in a door with my nose up someones arm pit to get into work.

It's getting closer....I went up about a year ago and there were about 20 people left in the flats. A few months later it was about 10. My mum went up there to chat to an old resident recently and she reckoned she was almost the only one left. Claydon (the big block nearest to the top of Walworth Road where I was born) is now completely closed off and works have begun in the old gardens next door. An exhibition was held a few weeks ago showing the plans for the new development....which none of the residents appeared to be that impressed by. It's coming soon.....

Whatever, great chat.
