Sydenham, London SE26 - property buying advice

[Richyboy]

Whats Sydenham like for crazy people? My bank is practically handing me a low rate mortgage, property prices seem reasonable there and my dad needs somewhere to live so thinking it might be a better investment than sticking money in an ISA each month. Only problem is he suffers from high blood pressure so I'm weary of these state enabled entitled mental idiots that can't distinguish between right and wrong.
