Another Forestdale Hopeful

[td]

Hi All,
This site is absolutely brilliant ... feels so much like a community so close to London.
My wife and I are hunting for a house to buy in Forestdale, however we are new to London (having lived in Cheshire for the past 6 years), so neither know the area, nor the surroundings ... currently renting in Park Hill, Croydon.

I would much appreciate if you someone could provide me a general idea about Forestdale as regards:
1> Crime rate (garage break-ins, teenager problems, property break-ins etc.)
2> Your own experience about Forestdale
3> Is there any particular reason why so many houses are suddenly on sale ... or is it the trend in this part of the city?
4> Any particular areas to watch out for?

Anything would be useful. The area looks very green and welcoming.

Thanks in advance,
TD

Hi welcome to forestdale.info i'm glad you like the website. In the Forestdale residents association meeting yesterday (July 11th) a member suggested putting the latest crime figures on the site which was agreed and will appear soon. I live on forestdale at the moment and i'm only selling my flat to buy a house on forestdale. I think there are lots of houses for sale because the sudden boom on the property market. I've lived on forestdale for 3 years and not had any problems.
I can't say which parts are good or not as I've only lived on on Middlefields,
Hopefully others will post replies to this thread and help you.
Also shortly we have a forestdale homes section that will be added to the site, as its fairly new there are constant changes and new features being added.

Thank you for joining or message board. Happy house hunting.
