Homes Under the Hammer: Brockley Conservation Area commands 10% premium
It's property porn day today on Brockley Central. Brockley featured on this morning's Homes Under the Hammer (BBC One), when a developer actually decided to keep and enhance a local property's period features, rather than bin them (that pub never did get repaired by the way). The programme first broadcast in 2009 said:
"A place called Brockley and it's just five miles from London Bridge. The property I'm here to see it commands a 10% premium and that's because of where it sits in the Brockley area. Well it's in a conservation area and people are prepared to pay well over the odds to live in the area... Although the market has cooled a little, there's still high demand here. This is Tressillian Road and the properties along here are just gorgeous..."
The Brockley bit starts 12 minutes in.
Later, we're featured in today's Evening Standard property guide.

slather....drool....
I love the way Homes Under the Hammer repeat the same shots so much they make a 30 minute programme into an hour. Still, it's always top of my "ooh, shouldn't I do some work, better watch some daytime TV first" list.
Nothing scares you back into work like a dose of daytime telly and a visit to the job centre. It's all auctions, homes and loose women (not the sort that frequent the swings up at Hilly Fields)
Here's a bit more porn: Brockley PFI has been fined £100,000 for not meeting their performance targets.
Nice! Just sneaked a peek on iplayer. Good advert for Kevin the Builder. What's his company, anyone know?
I did think as I walked past that house during the refurb they were doing a good job. Well done, Kevin!
Still ramping on about "Conservation Area",when a lot of things are never kept up, or implemented.
@qbf, apparently it's Bells of Westminster, who've been mentioned on BC here.
Thanks Jon. I did wonder if it was Bells of Westminster, as they seem to have an excellent reputation. Hopefully he won't be retiring TOO soon then - that will be a real loss to the area...

"Here's a bit more porn: Brockley PFI has been fined £100,000 for not meeting their performance targets."
Now that IS good news. Do you have a link to an article about this?
Yes - Bells of Westminster - did some work for us - very good but not cheap. Kevin is a character.
That surely must be the ugliest flat in all of the conservation area...
Would someone please upload this to YouTube? I have a property on Tressillian Rd and would love to watch this. The iPlayer link doesn't work outside the UK
Get a vpn.
Wouldn't be worth it for how much I would use it! Plus I have just bought a Global iPlayer subscription - unfortunately it doesn't have HUTH.
How about BC starts it's own YouTube Channel?
I live abroad too, and think a Brockley Central You Tube channel is a great idea. It could compile all Brockley related media....
