Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

One of the most recent sales house sales in Harringay, an admittedly unusually large house wasn't far shy of £900,000. Prices over £700,000 are now not uncommon and +£600,000 has become an expectation.

Will 2013 see Harringay's first +£1M house?

Good thing or bad?

A teaser for HOL's planned Property Porn Supplement ?

Both of the two estate agents in Islington report a lot of people moving up from Stoke Newington, Hackney and Islington.

What road was/is it on Hugh? (you tease).

The sub 900k one is on Duckett.

As fyi the rightmove website has a draw-a-search function which you can use to see all the houses for sale on the ladder at the moment, eg this.

Nice. I wasn't aware of the draw an area function. Here's an area that includes all of Harringay.

It's a shame they feel they have to call it Finsbury Park rather than Harringay

Ooo did?

Come on guys, why are you dawdling? let's talk up those prices. It seems an age, well 4 or 5 years, since we had a proper boom-bubble-bust around these parts. Drop in your pebble and help to spread the Hampstead ripple. Don't you really miss those Ladder rises of 13-25% per annum? Let's encourage the desirable overspill from Islington and Stokey, while ensuring no rungs for scum from  further south.

Of course, you're right, Old-Age-Emp. Nothing could be better for all us property owners than another huge property price rise. But if we drive out all the "low-rent scum", isn't it going to be difficult to find servants - you know, Polish nannies for the kiddies, those nice little old Japanese men to do the garden, and those delightful women who do all the laundry and house-cleaning. What we probably need it some kind of workhouse for them, preferably on an industrial estate so they don't live near real people like us, with special buses, guarded by G4S, to bring them to work for us. Even better, lets seal off the whole of the ladder as a gated community, which I'm sure G4S will be happy to police for us for a comforting bit less than minimum wage. All in all, let's get rich and stuff everybody else!

Excellent Point! After all the Victorians knew one had to house the servants somewhere. Do you think it might be a good idea for some public body, like say the council, to put up some (modest - lets not get carried away!) housing -blocks of flats perhaps - for the deserving poor? We could even call it "council housing" I know its a radical idea, but hey its Friday morning and I have an idle moment, so why not?
