lozzyloz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Great. Let's open up a bar and serve alcohol in empty ink cartridges and snacks served on cdr's. We can argue about change of use later. Should be able to stay in business for at least 5 years as long as we never turn up to application hearings.

LostThePlot Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Bugger, they are dead handy if you need to get something PDQ. Wonder if they'll be selling off their stock. Always fancied a really good Rotring Pen set. Sad but true.

candj Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Why don't 550 disgruntled forumites stick in a grand each to buy it and lease it to Parkhill Properties? It is a pity because they were useful. Maybe a sushi bar next?

citizenED Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Damn. A useful shop on the strip closing. Be good to see a mini WHSmiths - proper newsagent with some stationery - or an independent one of course.

Nero Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Shame again (see Drum thread). I really, really do not want an nick-nack shop or a cafe or boozer. Backlash here we come.

macroban Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Did anyone posting actually read the particulars? An asking price of ?550k for a 74 year lease with an annual ground rent of ?50 seems reasonable.As far as I know Parkhill Properties does not buy leases.The previous thread on Ralon Stationers was a low-point for the East Dulwich Forum.[Typo corrected] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2559-ralon-stationers-selling-up/#findComment-77534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Macroban,To be honest I simply clicked on the link and read this (written in bold)"RETAIL,INVESTMENT PROPERTY - 144.65 sq.m.(1557 sq. ft.) ?550,000 Freehold"And foolishly to the conclusion that it was a freehold retail property for sale for the sum of ?550,000. Next time I shall be more thorough. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2559-ralon-stationers-selling-up/#findComment-77553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

karter Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Macroban, again you are right, they advertise it as a freehold but infact it's a lease. I believe it's sold now anyway.

Jamma Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I know it's been said before but E Dul really has jumped the shark huh? This was a useful (if eccentric in some ways) shop. Nothing decent has opened in the area since Foxtons turned up, I hold my head in my hands at the thought of Oliver Bonas.

Every time i walk past thinking "I must look them up on the web" - I just did.....Oh Cock...do we need another one of these shops? This place is suffering from self-fulfilling parody! Unbelievable!Just had a look at their website and was intrigued,(Curious some would say...) by the Metrosexual link and spotted the wonderful irony of the picture frames...PMSL!!!
