Unbelievable. The whole house was that price no more than two years ago.

Sudbourne Road innit.
Add 25% onto the house prices for the school catchment.

That's the Branksome Rd end by the look of things, in which case not in the catchment in recent years.

Ah, yes, in which case it's just a thoroughly demented pricetag.

I wonder if the purchaser could sue Foxtons for misrepresenting that Sudbourne primary is 0.1 miles away?
There is no CC catchment, it's if you go to their church every Sunday.

Looks like a great rental opportunity for anyone looking to get their kids into Sudbourne Primary.

School intake doubling to 90, probably in 2014.

And have cash. Free school meal rate now at a near-Etonian 8 per cent.
It's go to 'a' catholic church every Sunday and live in their catchment. They didn't want to exclude people who bring their kids to foreign language mass so going to their church is not mandatory. Their catchment is based on two-thirds of kids living in the parish boundary of CC and one-third from the Herne Hill catholic church. If you live outside that and go to CC every Sunday you won't get in, even with a letter of recommendation from the pope.
That's only because they have enough middle class, well-off parents who go to their church every Sunday to fill from their catchment area, which of course includes HH. But you can live next door and not be Catholic and a letter from no one will get you in.
Personally I don't live in catchment and I wouldn't send my child to a Catholic school but I know a lot of parents who live on that road who seethe at the thought that their children are not allowed in.
Lots of kids on my road go to CC. Not sure how religious their parents were before school going time but they are certainly there every Sunday now as I believe not going regularly puts a black mark next to your name; although the Head has changed this year I've heard. The catchment of course is different to everywhere else. We are actually in this year's CC catchment as my friend up the road sent her daughter but we are definitely not in Sudbourne's catchment, showing how much bigger CC's is because it's exclusive.
So where is your child? PM me if you don't want to say online. I am interested as I'm looking at primaries now and am glad to say that actually visiting a lot of them has made me feel much better - they are on the whole mostly fine, even the not sought after ones.

Of course, had forgotten that. Phew - let the property price rise continue!

Obviously property isn't booming as much as some people think. This house was on about a month ago with an open day and guide price of 740-780.

Hint: This thread is about Foxtons. Also, out of touch as I am with the current boom, I'm wondering if the slightly off-the-beaten track location and small rooms are holding it back. These are artisan cottages (albeit now a conservation area). I do remember the rooms as small - I went to a party in of those houses (years ago though).

But, most of the time, the SOLD signs are going up pretty rapidly.
It's inexplicable.
Presumably people are taking out enormously long and perhaps interest-only mortgages.
Streatham Wells.
It's a lovely school and certainly different to what I grew up with.
We were worried she'd get Fenstanton, what with the stabbing and other problems but I am sure there are teachers busting a gut and loving parents who want the best for their kids there too.
So much education happens in the home anyway.

3 bed house on Brixton Water Lane went for 1,403,000. That's the official land registry price (not agent marketing price which was 1,250,000). Swiss bloke and paid cash, so I'm told.

I had intended smart Alec repartee to the effect that Foxtons would have got more. Not that you digressed!

This sold for 1,195,000 in May.
Now back on the market for £2,000,000. That's a cool 65% rise - without any improvements carried out.
