I actually know where this house is and I know the area. If you read the description is says a lot about what you can find in Harrow town and in Harrow on the Hill where Harrow school is located. What it carefully doesn't say is that this house is nearer to South Harrow than Harrow town. So your nearest shops are in South Harrow. The reason why it doesn't say this is because South Harrow has a not very good reputation.



If you look at AdrianC's link to a house in South Harrow that shows the prices for South Harrow but this house is priced as if it was in the fashionable area of Harrow on the Hill and near to Harrow town which it isn't. It is really in South Harrow so the price should reflect that. This is why they can't sell them. For South Harrow prices they need to be priced in line with a small house terraced house in South Harrow. I would be suprised if you could get as much as £400k for a two bed in South Harrow. I would think £350k might be overpriced.

Just shows how much a bit of local knowledge gives. And how much specific area can affect price.

Totally agree I know where these two houses are and not a very nice part of harrow. I am really puzzled why these houses attract a higher council band E. My friend who lives in a 2 bed terrace near harrow on the hill 0.4 to the station her council tax is band D. Personally myself I do not go for old period houses. I hate houses with no frontage. It is either buying there or get one bed flat in London. Thanks for your all your very valuable comments.
