Wanted, a property that needs some TLC

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

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
