Hello


Our car was subject to significant damage while parked on the right hand side of Matham Grove outside the EDG nursery between 9pm on Sunday 12th July and 7am Monday 13th July. Predictably, there was no note left. In the midst of a pandemic, with two small children needs to consider and where public transport is not advised, now not having our car, is a significant inconvenience to say the least.


When the insurance company picked it up yesterday and made an initial assessment, the evidence suggested that it had been caused by a vehicle driving up Matham Grove in the wrong direction. Their theory is that they encountered something coming the other way in the right direction and veered into our vehicle to avoid a head on crash, while the vehicle that was travelling in the correct direction veered to the left and avoided a head on collision as there is a dropped curb on the opposite side of the road to where our vehicle was parked to allow access to garages.


One of our neighbours has picked up some grainy footage of a vehicle, clearly damaged but travelling in the correct direction down our road, from their security doorbell camera. This has been passed to the insurance company for further investigation. Can anyone make any further suggestions as to where there might be CCTV that shows a car turning into Matham Grove from Lordship Lane in the wrong direction. Or if you have any further information that might relate to this incident, we'd be grateful to hear from you.

There is cctv on a post above the corner of Foxtons. It may have been pointing the tight way but I don't know who it belongs to.

So sorry for your situation. People going down one ways the wrong way in this area is reaching maddening levels.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
