to wonder where these people get £350k

This whole write-up screams 'twat':

Which is fine, there are plenty about, and they are essentially harmless.

But where do they get their hands on £350k for a tiny flat in Peckham, sorry Bellendland?

Graphic designer salary London, £20k-£30k: creativepool.com/employee/SOU/E145420/J69427/Graphic-Designer-London.php?utm_source=Indeed&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Indeed

Something doesn't compute.

What has that flat got to do with Graphic Designers?

Do you know the people who are selling? Oooh - are you cyber-stalking them ?

I was looking at the trying-far-too-hard blurb, and suggesting that it appears to be marketed squarely at hipsters. And then showing the salary for a typical hipster job.

Never mind the cost... Have you seen where the kitchen is

That's grim... You cook your dinner then carry it past your loo to your lounge?!?
What if someone is on the loo or in the bath?? You can't access the kitchen!

For £350k

Well that's the first time I have ever been described as having a hipster job

I think that the kitchen and bathroom have separate doors.

And they must have one very fat deposit to be able to get an affordable monthly mortgage payment. Unless one of the couple is a rich, wannabe hipster rather than an actual hipster.

SE15 isn't a hipster area. There's an S in front of the E...!

I thought that at first too Doris, but there is corridor between the kitchen and bathroom, you don't have to walk through it.

Still, I'm so glad I don't live in London. I could buy my 3 bed semi almost 3 times over for that money!

Peckham is definitely hipster. Check the comments here: www.vice.com/en_uk/read/we-went-on-a-quest-to-find-the-new-dalston

And apparently Graphic Designer is the number one hipster career: education.yahoo.net/articles/careers_for_hipsters.htm

I'd like to get me some of that 'ubiquitous' shelving..

Do you think there's a view of Nelson Mandela Towers?

They will have been given family money or inherited it. The only hipster I know was given a million pounds by family to buy a property. I was working with him and he was not earning a high salary.

That is the most patronising advert for a flat I have ever seen. Must be aimed at people who use the bank of mum and dad to fund their hipster London lifestyle!

Bellend-en village!? Seriously?? If you look beyond the Mackintoshy chairs, the absttact art and the bookshelves you will see some very strange non-hipster things....

The kitchen is pure 90s just painted over and look at the bathroom - unmodernised right down to the pine toilet roll holder! Plus that naked plain but modern radiator under the raging UPVC windows.

Oh dear, something is awry in the state of Bellend!

That estate agent description is beyond annoying. Where do they learn to write this utter crap? Makes me grind my teeth just reading it.
The use of 'tidy' as an initial descriptor is funny as it easily misreads as 'tiny', which it is.

I assume you insinuated hipster from the decoration in which case they don't have 350k they are selling for 350k. They probably paid way less for it.
Property prices have shot up ridiculously in SE London.

You don't have to walk through the bathroom to get to the lounge. There is a hall way & the kitchen is off it to one side & the bathroom off it to the other side.

As a former designer, I am quite offended. 350k for a flat in SE15! I paid a lot less for a flat in a much better area during my 'hipster' days.

Hmm these days any true Hipster worth their ironic salt would avoid treating Vice like a bible now that Rupert Murdoch owns as take in it.

I remember reading an article where even they where in Hipster denial at the beginning of the year.

Estate agents will churn up any old tosh to try and bring in a buyer. I remember them marketing Crystal Palace as the new Clapham 20 years ago. Cringeworthy write up.

I do miss having a good old grind in Ezekiel's.....it's been years.

I bought our house off this estate agency a few years ago - it's just the way they write.... ok it's a bit nauseating but they are actually really nice in there! More interesting than some of the blurbs I've seen I'll have to admit!

I thought it was a spoof and "Bellenden" a place for twattish "bell-ends"
...but 350k for a shoe-box flat in Peckham - London prices really have gone crazy!

£50 k premium for the organic chalk white farrow and ball paint slapped everywhere?

I don't know that been "ten staggering steps from the best boozer" is a selling point. It would put me off the property. Am obviously not hipster!

If they bought a few years ago this is very easy. We got 8 times our income in 2006, and could have had way more.

and the job is poorly paid (I don't even live in London/ SE and think that)

I actually quite like the way it has been written. Better than most of the staid estate agent blurbs with cliche phrases. That flat is exactly the type of thing my DD would love to buy (if she had a job and was not still a student!)

It is very expensive for the size of flat i will grant you that but that doesn't seem uncommon in London watches too much Phil and Kirsty
