Hello all

My girlfriend and I are looking for a 6 month rental around East Dulwich from 11th April (or preferably Norwood but would also consider other areas). The last time we took a flat we found a wonderful couple on this forum who had a tired property which they were struggling to rent at the top rate. As a professional painter/ handyman (excellent references on this and other forums), I was in a position to make significant improvements to their property in order to make it more rentable whilst providing us with a home. We essentially traded work for rent up to the value of the repairs and then paid full rent once the work was completed.

This particular rental was for more than 2 years but most of the work was carried out within the first few weeks. We paid a reasonable deposit and signed standard ASTs throughout and built a great relationship with the couple who we now consider friends.

Please do contact me if you are in a similar position and you think we may be able to work together on a project. I can offer you references from the couple mentioned and also references from my clients from the EDF and Herne Hill Forums. I very much hope we are lucky enough to find someone we can work with again and thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I should also mention my girlfriend is a registered care worker and works full time.

Best regards

Dave and Nicky

- Penalty charge Turney road junction

  There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly. I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.

  I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
- Bike handlebars (cables are cut) now on Shawbury Road. Is this yours?

  Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you. --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there. I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
