what did wayne rooney after lifting the world cup for england? turn off his xbox and go to bed

I think they call themselves "property consultants" as they offer services other than just letting and selling, not sure exactly what they are though! As some have said, estate agents have their pros and cons and although I am one myself I am all for finding tenants through gumtree etc, but even so, some people don't have the time to go through that hassle themself or simply don't want to and that is when an estate agent provides a useful service. What does concern me in that industry are the amount of crooked agents out there who will happily lie and cheat people to make sales, it's bang out of order and not only does it make people angry and disappointed, it also gives a bad name to agents such as myself who see honesty and decency as very important qualities

Try the old kent road, there's a fantastic looking one on there with barred windows and a sign of the door that says "lettings, property managemant and SEALS" evidently this young property entrepeneurs have seen the profit to be made in the marine wildlife trading business :P

Some other celebration? apparantly in deptford the main coke dealer for the area sets off fireworks in the park he is going to be selling coke in, in order to notify all buyers in the area that he will be there peddling his wares, perhaps he has relocated to ED! :P

Some of the roads there are cut throughs particularly Nigel Road, Nigel Road itself is not bad house-wise but another consideration is you may have trouble parking as it's pay and display and often very fully parked
