Wanted: 2 bed garden flat in April for professional couple

Hi there,


I know April is 6 months away but as I have been getting a feel for the number of properties on here now, perhaps you are doing the same for tenants.


My partner and I are both full-time professionals working in the Media industry. We have been renting a property in Southwark for 3 years but have been eager to move to Dulwich as we have friends and family there, and we are in love with the area. Our tenancy is up for renewal in April so we would ideally have found a new flat by March, which is when we need to give notice to our current landlord.


We are looking for a 2 bedroom flat but the second bedroom does not need to be large, we just need the space for storage. We have a beautiful and exceptionally well-behaved border collie who needs a garden to patrol of an evening so outside space is a necessity for us, and a dog-friendly landlord. My partner rides a motorbike which we need some kind of off-street parking area for, he has made good use of the space between a bay window and a brick wall at present and he is happy to continue doing so for the right flat.


I'll be re-posting in the New Year and closer to March but if you know of any properties like this becoming available in April, do let us know as we'd love to discuss it.


Look forward to hearing from you!


Mat and Becky.

    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.  
    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.
