pearcesa Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Foxtons has to be the worst thing that has happened to East Dulwich in a VERY long time.I keep meaning to ring up to tell them to stop putting about a million brochures through our door and how many letters has everyone got about them arriving in Dulwich? Clearly, they have no interest in the environment with the amount of paper they waste with their advertising and their mini's polluting the local atmosphere!Grrr.... Rant over! I just can't abide Foxtons I've heard so many stories from friends about their unscrupulous behaviour, I would never ever use them.

When the recession ended only a few remained. Unfortunately, Foxtons probably has the resources and staying-power to outstay the competition.

woodie Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 so how does it work that people from fairlawns have signs outside from foxtons.com, that look exactly like for sales signs but have fairlawns integrated into the foxtons style graphic? although they are advertising xmas something or other you 'think' its more foxtons signs. like they are 'becoming part of the community' ie put a bit of moolah the schools way then stick your signs up with the 0% banner.

macroban Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 We make every effort to ensure no more than four minis are parked in any one road but sometimes this simply is not possible.

SimonM Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I thought the "letters" in support of Foxtons' parking "rights" were suspiciously similar in tone and content...a bit OsbourneStewartesque in fact...:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1902-too-many-foxton-minis-lounged/page/3/#findComment-64634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorky Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 "I live in Balham myself and i don't see what the fuss is about. I also drive and have to park around balham high road and i have no problems as the minis are not there all the time. They pay for the time parked which is more income to the council and surely the minis are a good advertisement for the area of which i am so proud to live in.""Me and my partner were let down recently by another Balham estate agent, leaving us with the prospect of being homeless at Christmas. Foxtons were nothing but professional & efficient and we are now settled in a perfect flat in time for the festive season. They seem to do a better job than anyone else on the high street, so people need to quit with the mud slinging of which this mini nonsense is an example, and get over this jelousy towards what I have found to be a successfull, professional company."Can I don my Columbo mac and start another investigation ?

Brendan Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I can?t find who posted that originally snorky but it did make me laugh. It starts out with ?I live in Balham? and then somehow manages to just get worse.
