  1. You can also try negotiating a 'fixed' price rather than percentage commission. As long as your fixed price is realistic enough the agency wouldn't turn your offer away. I was able to sell my place for under 1% since I achieved above asking price. Base your fixed price along the 1% margin of the value of your property. My opinion on which local agent to use would be either Winkworth (I have had dealings with them both buying and selling over the past decade) and find them the most honest along with Roy Brooks for the same reason.
  2. strange how some people are affected and some not, I have an iphone and uts worked perfectly the last 24 hours with the 3G on...O2 say the issues are not geographically related allegedly
  3. I also try and avoid a right turn at that junction and would agree with trizza that a filter light is much needed and possibly red light cameras.. I also agree the lighting sequence is out of touch with the volume of traffic it must control. The green light for east/west traffic barley stays green for 20 seconds and sometimes less, which results in traffic banking up EDR back up to the junction at Crystal Palace Road. The situations is also compounded by the 4 way crossing which imho gives too much priority to pedestrians whenever the crossing button is pressed. An easier, cheaper and quick solution is to increase the time for east/west traffic and even without a filter needed sequence the lights opposite to go red a few seconds before so drivers can turn right. If they can (and they have) fit filter lights at the junction of East Dulwich Rd and Crystal Palace Rd then why the hell not at this junction which obviously needs it more urgently.
  4. I heard the commotion, it sounded like someone got run over by the luton van?
  5. The airport is officially open 24 hours but there is a night ban on flights between 11pm and 4.30am - airlines must get (and pay a considerable amount of cash for) special dispensation to land between those hours... between 4.30am and 6.02am only a handful of flights are allowed to land and they invariably come in from the far east, some US destinations and some destinations in Africa. Flights not scheduled to land before 6.02, that arrive before that time, are not allowed to land and are stacked above London and surrounding areas until after 6.02 (most flights will take into account the flight time to allow them to arrive around their scheduled arrival time)... the noise is nothing new to the area... at 3pm everyday the runways at Heathrow are swapped to give residents on the flight path a break. This is why sometimes you'll hear the planes coming in and sometime you wont. Aircraft only approach over London to land and never take off and ascend over London.... hope this info helps..
  6. Zaffron is definitely one of the beter indian take outs, have ordered from them a few times and never failed to please..
  7. I was also thinking leaves today.... they are everywhere and East Dulwich Road is becoming a slip hazard as the leaves are beginning to rot... will the council schedule in to clear them up??
  8. I hope none of the morons who ridiculed this poor lady are capable of being members of this forum?? And if so, should bow their heads in shame.....
  9. TBH I never even noticed them.... in fact I never even knew GDM had an office on Northcross and thought they were on Rye Lane.... I don't think they're that bad... I do think what was proposed at the Bishop was worse...
  10. Im on the first floor, haven't noticed any problems.... The bath was running really slow a few weeks back but I used 'melt' which cleared the problem....

I went to ask about membership last week as I am thinking of joining and was told that the main gym will be open by June. I was shown the plans of the layout which looked all good. I was told the flooring was complete and all that needed to happen was the equipment put into place ready for June.... not sure if anything has changed since last week?
  12. Why not contact SE22 mag and ask if they have contracted a company to undertake this task?? That way you'll know
  13. Awesome idea - and I just been watching it on tv today - actually flew with Karen Perry (flight chick) last week who won the Swansea one a few months back (she came joint 1st and had lots of shoes in her spare room)... I'd defo join in this:)
  14. This thread is not about car user bashing though is it? Its about the impending pinch points at Grove Vale which will not affect the destruction of East Dulwich or preventing pedestrians from going about their daily lives using that road. My point is if this plan to install pinch points goes ahead it will not benefit pedestrians, bus or car users alike but cause inconvenience to all. And how do I know? I don't but from the experience of such installation on my road I can only speak from that experience.
