Many people on this forum will hope for everything which I have tried to describe because they do want their property to increase in value, whilst simultaneously hoping that Forest Hill becomes more varied and culturally diverse etc. Like many, I bought my first home in Forest Hill and I want to make some money so that I may upgrade sooner rather than later and buy again, in Forest Hill. There is nothing at all wrong or shameful about that. I cant help but wonder whether those who seem to want Forest Hill to stay frozen in time are simply perhaps those who are more settled and dont have the need to improve their property portflio. Shouldnt mean the rest of us cant strive for something better though.
Agree 100% - everyone looks at these kind of debates from their own personal circumstances. I would also like to upgrade sooner rather than later from a flat to house in Forest Hill so I also have a long term interest in the area rather than just making a profit and moving on.
House prices wont rise in the next 2 years at least regardless of whether a pizza express or similar opens up or not untill the mortgage situation improves. In the meantime we should all want Forest Hill to continue to improve and cater for all tastes. I still think its fair to say that there is still little choice for people in the evening who want a few drinks and decent meal and there is nothing wrong with wanting better
