Say hello to Barratt Homes' 'Brixton Square' on Coldharbour Lane (old Cooltan site)

Did you find all the stuff about locals being priced out of their own community hilarious too?

Nah, the shit for brains couldn't give a fuck, and as someone who has to relocate in the near future, and has seen the current market, owing to jumped up, pompous pricks like him: I maintain: I hope you get badly battered, within days.
 
I'm afraid can't go along with your wish for someone to be physically hurt, although I understand why you might feel such a way given his obnoxious attitude.

I'll say it again: the ludicrous property market has little to do with the likes of Bim.

It is dictated by the failure of government to build enough houses to cope with a London population rising by 100,000 every year from 2001.

NOOOOOOOOO I WAS LAUGHING AT MYSELF, AND SEEING SOMEONE CALL ME A PLUM.

What is the problem with some of you people, why are you always looking for the negative ?

Thank you thank you, a voice of reason, if I had my way I would love to see a 50% fall in property prices
 
Maybe you should spare a thought for those of us that don't have a handy £300k in the bank.
And what makes you think I don't, please explain why you are hating on me I truly am confused with the attitude of some of the people here, everything seems sooooooo negative and spiteful

I'm not 'hating on you' (stupid phrase).

But coming onto a long-running forum in an area that has suddenly seen a large influx of hipster incomers taking advantage of flats built by developers that are well outside the price bracket of many locals, and boasting about how great this is for you and how happy you are with your new property, can't you see how that is putting people's backs up? Do you know what was on the site where your flat will be - an arts collective that benefited the whole community? Do you care that nearby the council is trying to evict residents of the same mansion block where one wall has the iconic Nuclear Dawn mural? Do you care that many social housing developments within the local area are being greedily eyed up by Lambeth Council so they can make more money by selling them off for private housing development?

Yes I hear you and understand fully your point, firstly I was not boasting,but I am sure if you bought a property that you liked you would be pleased and looking forward to moving in. You need to vent your anger at the council NOT ME. everyone is complaining but I read on a previous post that only ONE PERSON turned up to lodge a complaint at a recent council meeting.

Did you know what was on the site before?

Do you know what the nuclear dawn mural is?

If I had enough money to buy a flat I would be pleased about it. But I wouldn't insult the local community by posting about how fab it was, on a thread where everyone was clearly unhappy about the situation.

Ok, my post was both positive and negative about the block, I agreed with the previous post that the block looks ugly, the entrance looks ugly, and the gates look ugly, then I went on to say how nice the courtyard and communal areas were. But again you only look for the negative. I realise now I am wasting my time

Why would you buy somewhere if you thought it was ugly? :confused:

And you haven't answered the questions.
