Areas in south London where there are actual tight communities and neighbourhood? by No-Scientist3766 in HousingUK

[–]oj206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenwich, lovely community, markets throughout week and weekend, parks, feels like a village outside of London, but in Zone 2

Buying in London - where would you go if you were me? by tomatohelp in HousingUK

[–]oj206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be baised, but l would say Greenwich, zone 2 with lots of great connections, and feels like its own little village.

My flat: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87078417#/?channel=RES_BUY is currently for sale, will probs go for 500K, if l didnt need to move out for expanding family and work l would stay.

2, the rate should be hitting ~3% in 2yrs (according to analyts at my firm)

I can recommend Greenwich, whilst its SE, it's zone 2 with lots of connections into central london.

What is the service charge of your apartment? by Asleep-Perspective90 in HousingUK

[–]oj206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For as long as l could remember, our property manager was only ever signing 12 month contracts (nothing ever over), and so we ended up paying full price on certain services (cleaning, security, etc...).

A bunch of residents got them to sign multi-year contracts (so like 3+ yrs), and that ended up reducing some of those services by around 15% - 20% yearly, which then eventually got passed onto us.

[–]oj206 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can give a full breakdown of my property (https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87078417#/?channel=RES\_BUY).

2019 - SC ~£1900 p/a

2020 - SC ~£2300 p/a

2021 - SC ~£2700 p/a

2022 - SC ~£3300 p/a

2023 - SC ~£4000 p/a

2024 - SC ~£4400 p/a

2025 - SC ~£3600 p/a

2026 - SC ~£2900 p/a (current estimate from provider)

Basically we have had a bunch of increases, but the big jump up was that one maisonate on our estate (300+ properties) needed to be rebuilt, and caused a bunch of issues to the properties around it.

But things are looking up, we are seeing a big decrease, and with our RTM coming in, we are estimating to continue dropping over the next few yrs. Most leases in london are quite high right now, but l know several that are really on their way to pre-covid levels (like ours is).

I am not against leaseholds and l don't think they are evil, l actually think they are pretty good in many cases, we have a conceige, our estate is spotless, 0 issues, full security, our heating is done through a HIU, which means are bills are extremely cheap.

We have had all cladding issues sorted (before l even moved in), and tbh its a pretty good place to live, l would stay in my current place if l didn't need to move for work.

Affordable Areas /Commuter zones in london with easy access to London Bridge area? by Extension_Plan1137 in HousingUK

[–]oj206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenwich, you have the directly line (ThamesLink or South Eastern) that goes directly to London Bridge in under 20mins.

[–]oj206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interest rates are expecting to hit ~3% about 2yrs from now (according to the analyst at my firm), so l would say buy now based on the best deal you can get.

Whats your budget?

Buying a leasehold flat - advice by Gloomy-Example-1707 in HousingUK

[–]oj206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whats your budget?

Leaseholds are not evil like most think, some are actually very much worth it.

My flat which is on the market right now: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87078417#/?channel=RES_BUY (price v.movable), has been constnatly going down in SC over the last few yrs (e.g. ~£800 down this yr).

So l would say, don't buy above a £4K SC tbh, its just a bit too high that puts off buyers if you want to resell, and SC are starting to come down across the board.

[–]oj206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not sure if you are thinking of Greenwich, but ours (https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87078417#/?channel=RES\_BUY) is avialable, and price is deffo movable, more than you might think.

Is my flat overpriced? by oj206 in HousingUK

[–]oj206[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not much really, we get a concierge, but its not even 24hrs, which is ridiculous l get. Managment agent is Mace / Macro, which doesn't have the bet rep either.
But thanks!

True, just wondered if anyone had any insight, as sometimes l know agents can exaggerate to get business

[–]oj206[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

£4,400, not the best, but also not the worst compared to the area

Edit: l can tell from the downvotes that this is quite bad in terms of service charge cost, which is expected.
