Hello everyone!
I really hope you can help me :)
We are looking to buy a property and keep coming back to the Dover House Conservation Area (mainly because our budget falls slightly short of other streets in this end of Putney/Wandsworth).
I have done loads of research on the net (all very favourable) but I am struggling to get a real sense of what it's like... Does anyone know it/live there themselves?
The roads look nice on Street View (clean, nice houses etc) so my questions are pretty classic really...
Is it safe (at night too), especially with young kids?
Does it feel a bit soul-less or a bit like a rabbit warren (sorry, can't think of a better way to say that!)?
Is there much anti-social behaviour (people hanging out on the streets at night, fights, parties, boy racers etc etc)?
We are moving with two kids (4 and 1 yr old) so schools are obviously an area of concern too...
When I re-read these questions, I realise I sound like an awful snob and I'm truly not. We're relocating to London after many years abroad so we have kind of lost our confidence a bit...
Thank you so so much to anyone who can give me a real opinions - I am getting a bit blinded by Estate Agents' sales pitches...!!!!
Last question (promise)... If Dover House isn't that great, would you recommend Southfields?? That is our other option :)
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
