Ludlow Thompson - free advertising


Guest Ladywotlunches

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed the proliferation of yellow beetles around the area owned by the estate agents Ludlow Thompson? The cynic in me is starting to believe that rather than just a way of getting the agents and their customers to properties, they are actually just sneaky agent advertising for the area - especially as one has been parked in my road for 3 and a half weeks now without moving!


Thought there were laws against agents and putting up bogus boards - is this a way to get round it?

by the way, if there's an Estate Agents board outside a property that says Sold or Let (not For Sale or To Let) it should not be outside a property beyond 14 days from the the sale/letting date. If it's longer than that and it annoys you, you can call the estate agent and ask them to take it down, they have to (Town and Country Planning Act).

Humph - so there's nothing that can be done about the car thing? And I'll just have to continue parking in the next street cos businesses decide to use our road as a promo zone!


And while I'm on the subject - why can't people park in ED? They seem scared to get closer than 3 feet to the next car which means there are loads of 'half spaces' and no room to park. Leaving Southwark council with a nice opening to say 'hey, how about a nice CPZ!'


Right - I'll shut up now....

Well, the CPZ would do something about the car thing. The question is whether it's worth a fiver a month to rid yourself of the car thing?! Surely LWL, one may not barrack uncontrolled parking in one breath and then harangue the council for offering a solution in the next? ;-)


At least the LT Beetles are clean, has anyone noticed the 'Man with a van' tramp steamers? Now there's a blight on a sunny day.

I got so irritated by the sign still being outside our flat about two months after we'd completed. I rang Property In at least 3 times and popped in; always to be told 'yes, yes' while I'm sure they rolled their eyes. I rang again (just to let the bee out of my bonnet you understand) and asked them what their policy was regarding signage and I was told me "Ideally we take the sign down as soon as it's been sold ... " at which point I meanly leapt in and asked why they still hadn't taken ours down - it was gone a few days later.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
