    If you are under 75 a private covid jab will set you back £80 - £115.

    I think the sub Post Office closed in 2014 - my photo is dated 2015. There's a plaque high up on the wall calling the parade - Moore Park Terrace. Many. many years ago there was betting shop in the extreme left end premises too. The garage sometime in 2014.

    It seems to belong to someone with the initials J A I.

    Look for a "Share of Freehold". . . . . and maybe wait until this hysteria about beating the planned raised stamp duty date passes. It's happened before - folk rush in to beat the tax rise so the house prices rise and immediately drop back. PS Try Sydenham.

    Fully battery powered Tram ? / Buses ? / Trolley Buses ? at Crystal Palace apparently. https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/londons-bus-route-358-debuts-electric-buses-with-tram-inspired-design-77202/

    192.com shows there is a Victoria Appleby in the road. I don't pay for the full 192.com package so can't advise any more.

    It's a Supra C500 Key safe. PS The instructions say to not fix it to a rendered wall as it's not guaranteed to be secure. Instead fix it directly to brickwork. So fortunately, hacking off the render may give you enough room to get a blade into the gap to cut the 4 screws https://thekeysafecompany.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/11000114715-supra-c500-pro-keysafe-installation-help

    Doubt if it's a scam - more likely a mistake by a messy contractor. Its a top quality key safe - there are cheaper ones available.

    But it seems you do get a live-in cook / kitchen hand / helper with the second house 😀.

    I will add my vote for Gdansk. Also, take to boat trip to the peninsula where WW2 broke out. The first WW2 action was here.

    Piles, piles and piles of fun 😀.

    Like I have been saying : Steer well clear - Lambeth Council refunded £1.5m to 'gagged' leaseholders https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv22x59zlxzo

    https://www.structuralengineersouthlondon.com/ Howard Ruse is your man.

    Get a specialist structural engineer’s report and then try and get insurance or try to take over the existing owner’s insurance. I really don’t like the observation “ normal seasonal movement”. Clay soil expands when wet and shrinks when it dries. So you would expect garden walls, patios and the like to move up and down a bit between seasons - but not a house with adequately deep foundations.

    We’ve had our home insured with them for maybe 5 years now - always through a broker. Initially via Wesleyan (Finance ?) Insurance Brokers and currently via Adrian Flux. Renewal time is approaching so I’ll be giving all the brokers listed in this thread a chance.
  20. George Orwell
    I used Adrian Flux Brokers - I got a decent quote (Watford Insurance Co.) and they didn't want a survey - just a declaration of no cracks etc.

    You’ll be fine - just don’t turn right (east) anywhere 😃

    Whatever research you do, however much you trust or don’t trust the estate agent, Southwark Council can suddenly hit you with a large surprise bill - and you can’t do a thing about it.

    You are right to be spooked. Please think carefully, and then think carefully again and then don’t buy it. For example maybe Google what’s currently happening with L&Q charges. https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/13/lq-has-raised-my-flats-service-charge-by-41-i-cant-afford-it?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

    There's still a few of us around who remember these: https://www.londonbusmuseum.com/shop/cravens-rt1493-on-route-63-to-honor-oak-a-brand-new-casting-from-efe/ Plenty more info here: https://londonbuses.co.uk/_routes/current/063.html

    Mayfly, the actual fibre optic cable terminates in the Openreach box inside your house. The cable cannot have sharp bends in it - only gentle curves. You will have a copper cable with several strands ( Cat5 or Cat6) running from the Openreach termination box to the router. The phones plug into the router - you can have extension wires pretty much as long as you want.
