The KitchenAid is very close to the sink and the bedside tables are very far away from the bed.

The grey window frames look a bit dated and the interior just looks like an IKEA showroom. If it is HE's house (with his historical income considered) and the asking price, he could have paid a professional to stage the property to achieve the best possible price for his kids. I'm not a Londoner, but would assume the property being within a short walking distance to 3 train stations is partly why it's worth as much as it is?

Nope, it’s not particularly well connected by London standards. The expectation is that you will drive.

It’s a big house on a very exclusive road in Dulwich, which is in turn a very posh area of London. That size of house would be £3m in most of London, the premium is due to the area not the rail links (though I do think it is overpriced).

It’s on a very good road in Dulwich. In fairness there are much nicer houses on that road that are extremely attractive. I used to love driving down that road in December and seeing the white fairy lights outside and splendid enormous trees lit up in some of the front rooms before curtains were drawn.

What about this house indicates it needs demolishing? Do you mean could the plot appeal to developers? Or do you think it needs demolishing because someone viewed images of CSA and groomed a vulnerable young person there?

Both, really!

Someone with £4.75m to spend has plenty of options. So why buy a house with that hanging over it?

Instead, knock it down. There’s potential because it doesn’t have a basement, and instead there’s a loft extension with reduced headroom.

I don’t know if there would be any chance of getting planning permission, but a developer could build a new house that goes down a floor or two.

There are £10m+ houses in Dulwich. Couldn’t someone with deep pockets turn this plot into one?

Here’s a £10m modern home for sale in Dulwich. Though it’s next to the park so probably a better location than HE’s:

You might get PP, hard to say. But you wouldn’t get anywhere near £10m for that house if it was on HE’s road, and given you’d have to spend £4.75m to buy the plot, I don’t think you’d make your money back.

And yes it’s within the boundaries of the Dulwich estate, so effectively in a conservation area. Though that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t get planning permission, would depend on how old HE’s house is and what they were planning to replace it with.

I don’t think the location is exclusive enough to warrant that price tag for a plot and they’d struggle to make profit after paying the premium a well kept house brings.

I also don’t think what he did warrants demolishing the house - it’s disgusting but thousands of people are prosecuted for similar crimes every year and many more probably aren’t caught. Their houses aren’t all demolished when they move on so people must live in them afterwards. The real house of horrors is wherever those vile images were made.
