It's kinleigh folkard and hayward apparantly, word is they've bought the old halifax next to Haart, completely pointless if you ask me, already got two decent offices in dulwich village and peckham which cover east dulwich just fine

Aren't the council supposed to ensure a balance of businesses? Hence the need to apply for a change of use for a premises I thought. However, if this was an estate agents before, presumably they don't need to apply.


Let's just hope that market forces of supply and demand cause at least one of them to close down though, as I agree there are far too many - can there really be that much property for sale locally to generates sufficient business to support them all?

*Bob* makes a very good point. It is very strange how people are up in arms about a new agency, but are totally and utterly obsessed with house prices and the housing market, rather than being obsessed with finding a home.


Therefore, a new agent is simply responding to this obsession, as a pub will to our desire to drink!

is truepenny's the new one? I understood that it has been around for a while but was operating from the owners front room!

If it's Truepennys then you're right. I was dealing with them I think last year or year before, can't quite remember when.:-$


So they've been in business for sometime now but only managed to open a shop this year & I say good luck to them, they're good guys & really care for their customers. Too bad we never concluded on any business together...I was just too fussy.

    • Both notoriously “lovely” people to spend any time with or worse, serve 
    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
