Speaking personally I would avoid it. The reputation isn't great and although there has been visible investment it will take a long time to trickle
down. My old car was stolen twice in as many
Months by someone on that estate and each time I had to go there to retrieve it. Stolen by two members of the same family. The police suggested I didn't pursue them for the crime due to a very violent history. The other problem with that estate is that there is a lot of it hence problems tend to be deeply concentrated, also leaseholders have had to fork out in the past for improvements and I understand that there are meant to be More on the cards. The property might be cheap yes but there is usually a reason for that. I would suggest New Cross itself for lower cost property as although there are still problems its more of a
Mixed community with more street properties.
