Best and worst estate agents on Lordship Lane (false posting)


Recommended Posts

Hello

I was appaulled by service standards when I went into the new Foxtons on Lordship lane to be sitting there for 20mins, I made eye contact with everyone and they just looked away. I walked out in anger and thought I may get a better reception by a small independent who actually needs my custom. So I travelled down the high street and ended up in Osbourne Stewart who I have never really considered for letting my property. I was greated within 1 min of entering the premises by a smiley young man who offered me a seat and a cup of coffee, I felt at home!, I was asked my requirements and everything I was saying was being acknowledged not like some of the other agents like bushells who look in the other direction when you are speaking to them. i will be definatley using Osbourne-Stewart again as they have supplied me with a great service and a great tenant with very low fees to me and my tenant!

LOL, classic! In one swift blow the idiot at OS has tarnished their own name and given Foxton's some free publicity.


I'm not saying I want Foxton's to wipe out the smaller operators, however if OS are going to attempt cheeky tricks and leverage the EDF user base to promote themselves then they should bloody well pay for it, just like Daisylets has.

Is there any chance that 'Mrs Hamilton' will return to explain her actions? Is s/he allowed to do that? It would be interesting to hear from another agent, as to exactly how much of a threat the Foxton's 0% offer is to other agents. It expires 21st December anyway, and since they are taking so long to process 'all' the properties on their books, most of those properties will likely be advertised post-Xmas, and thus have the 2.5% commission slapped upon 'em.

    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
