Very pleased with these guys work. Great communication, arrived promptly, very professional. Would definitely use them again!!!

SJ - nobody wishes to read your troll-like attitude

Dear lord. I despise cats but given that cats actually do "roam at night" this is a rather pointless thread no...?

Anyone know whether the police have had any luck catching this evil scumbag?

There has been a lot of talk about M&S coming to lordship lane - is this actually happening and if so, does anyone know when they will arrive?

I'll join you when I move there!

Definitely a great idea!

Well. Hello there.? Given that I am current in the process of moving to East Dulwich (from NW6) I can hope to shed some light on this from a buyers perspective.? In short, the agents are right. Demand is high. However, supply is also very short. In that regard I wouldn't say that ED is that different from other parts of London that we have been looking to buy. N16 for example is much much worse. The market there is frantic. A property comes on the market on Friday, there's an open house on the Saturday (15 minute slots per couple, 30-40 couples in total viewing), initial bids on Monday and sealed bids on Tuesday. My girlfriend and I had almost a year of this (including 4 gazzumpings!) before we decided to look elsewhere.? Prices are generally high and I can't see them coming down any time soon because a) supply is so low, b) credit is cheap but not as freely available as it once was, c) the rental market is strong (partly because of supply restrictions) and so people are attracted to the buy-to-let market, d) property yields a good return relative to other investments that are either too risky or eroded through inflation. You're right to be disgruntled. I am. You're right also to question the integrity of estate agents. They have a vested interest in inflating prices as this keeps their clients happy and allows them to earn more commission. All I can say is, keep saving hard and get to know the agents. If you struggle to find something or you do find that ED becomes beyond affordable, you may wish to expand your?search.? Good luck. Cheerio M
