  1. Another glowing recommendation, based on our first visit this evening.


    Delicious meal-honestly couldn't fault it, wonderful atmosphere and warm and attentive service. What a wonderful addition to the area.


    Can't believe we haven't tried this place sooner- will definitely be back!

  2. Ah I see, well hopefully that's not the case then!


    Yes we spoke to the agents today, so hopefully we will get some answers come Monday..


    Thank you again for your advise- we really appreciate it.

  3. Thanks Mustard, that's really helpful.


    We're feeling really lost. We know the agents are probably hassling us on the sellers behalf because of their chain. As for the 'race', this has crossed our mind but I guess we can't be sure until/if that happens.


    We went with a solicitor recommended by the estate agent and have been constantly contacting them (where we can get hold of them), but we do seem to be met with a wall of silence for the most part and we have been told today that they are now on holiday.


    Anyway thank you for your message, as I said we are very green and were not sure how much of this is simply par for the course or whether we are having particularly bad luck!

  4. We are in the process of buying a flat for the first time and just wondered if anyone can shed some light on the following..


    We have been notified of an exchange date by the estate agent - despite outstanding surveys/ searches/ information requests - not our solicitor. Is this normal procedure? Is it even legal to exchange before the completion of surveys etc?


    We have requested various reports including an environmental report for example, again is it standard procedure that a solicitor would advice you on such reports, not just provide them?


    Finally, does anyone have any experience of changing a solicitor in the middle of the sale process? Are you allowed to do this?


    Thanks for taking the time to read this and we'd really appreciate any advice if possible!

  5. A dog was found running loose on Peckham Rye common this afternoon by one of the dog walkers there. He was brought to us at The Neighbourhood Veterinary Surgery but we were unable to find a microchip.


    Please pm me if you have any information as to who he might belong to.


    Thanks a lot

  6. I hope you get your tickets..


    We went a couple of years ago and it was great- must admit the concrete didn't bother us- we brought cushions and a blanket. We had been contemplating the premium tickets but on the night we were relieved that we'd just gone for the standard- premium ticket holders were 'seated' in their dinghys last and so had to wobble into them precariously in front of everyone! Also didn't look very convenient when they had to paddle their way in for loo breaks!


    Lastly, not sure how it was last year, but when we went they specified no food or drink on the premises- we were miffed on the day as has to queue for 40mins for refreshments when EVERYBODY around us had brought picnics..


    Good luck!
