Bargain? 50k off the price so far, I actually feel sad for anyone trying to borrow money to buy this, hopefully any sensible lender will be "down-valuing" the sellers expectations considerably.

The state of the artificial grass, not good for someone trying to avoid an ACL injury.

Reduced on boxing day 2020! The vendor is deluded, it is an eyesore, the red, the mixed match grass, the red, the outside and the red!

This should be on the have a look at this thread

That's in an estate in Battersea I remember reading meters round there years ago

Clapham Junction is, to all intents and purposes, Battersea.  As is between the commons.   They all have the same postcode.

They are really struggling to offload this one ... I am tempted to make a cheeky offer myself.

It still seems expensive to me, when you can buy a good condition, similar size freehold terraced house for the same price or less on nearby roads.

For example:

4 bedroom terraced house for sale in Shandon Road, Clapham, SW4 (rightmove.co.uk)

It's bigger, good condition, and has great potential for extending the kitchen and into the loft. Plus it's next to the nice "Abbeville Village" area for local shops/cafes etc and a bit further from the noisy A24.

LOL, if mortgage rates rise anyone buying those houses/flats whatever they are will be well out of pocket.

Hit the Spam button people - these moronic interjections are tedious.

Hello

I am currently living in the South East, but looking to move into London for a new job and I think London prices are due a strong pick up in line with the rest of the UK as a lot of people are now returning to the office.

This garden flat overlooking Clapham Common has caught my eye:

3 bed flat for sale in Windmill Drive, Clapham SW4 - Zoopla 

3 beds, close to the tube station, and overlooking the common, but the issue is the price. It is a divorcing couple, and was put on at £1.65m in July, and just reduced to £1.45m but I still think its massively overpriced.

I have a budget of £1.2m --- do you think I should open at £1m, or will that just annoy them? I hear the divorce is particularly acrimonious, so would this be a pro or a con for my offer strategy?

Still not sold... now might be the time to go in with your cheeky £1m offer. They might be delighted to get it under offer before Christmas
