I guess you're right generally, but alas Mrs Keef and I have been slightly less fortunate. Our landlords own lots of property (14 flats in my building alone), but they happily live down in Devon running their law firm, whilst employing cowboys to deal with the flats!!!


On the bright side, the flat is huge for the rent we pay, and the location is great (not in ED).


I used to be really bothered about being priced out of ED. I thought I was born in the area, my family still live there, why should I be priced out by these new people. However, having lived up the road for a year, I am more than happy to buy outside of ED... We'll get more for our small amount of money, and ED is easily accessible when we want it.


As for all the other arguments about changes in the area, I like the majority of things, and dislike some, but there you go. If shops / bars are generally popular and doing good business, good luck to them, I'll just take my business to the CPT and go about my day :)-D


Anyway, I'm going to save this post and paste it in to any similar thread in future, as I can't be bothered to write it again, and I'm sure the subject will come up.... Apologies in advance for repeating myself! ;-)

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
