I remember in the 80's some people did use these names and also Stockwell became San Ockwell..what goes round ect.etc.

We reached a point this year when we looked at our apartment we have lived in for 8 years and had it valued ( for a ridiculously high amount) And had a ponder about wether to sell up and get a house somewhere cheaper (we could never afford a house here, even with the equity from our home.) After a while we realised that we have such friendly neighbours, and love using Lordship lane where we regularly bump into people we know, that we thought why should we move to somewhere where we might not have any of those things just for the sake of an extra room and some stairs. So have decided to stay put.

Everywhere I have lived in London in the past 18 years has had a mix of nice and not so nice people, I suppose I have been fortunate to meet more of the former.

    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.  
    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
