		Thread: Alarming house prices! Post: RE: Alarming house prices! I'm sure it's a perfectly nice place to live. In fact, the location is pretty good.

		Thread: Alarming house prices! Post: RE: Alarming house prices! Despite the fact that I'm about to pay about £100k more than I thought I ever would for a perfectly ordinary 3-bed in Sydenham I do hope this is a bubble and that these prices are not the new normal. ...

For anyone wanting to move from a flat to a house within Forest Hill it's still a bad thing surely? If all property prices rise by the same proportion then house prices will be eve...
