Wow! That house is amazing. The guy who renovated it must be awesome

Sorry for late reply to this thread, just come back from holiday. Am interested in the thread re 199 Underhill, We bought the house approximately 1980 ( the memory is fading !) You were correct in your assumption that the houses were at one time owned by one person. He rented it out for a long time and then gave it to his daughter and son in law. This was then sold on ( with a great deal of bitterness). The next purchaser was us (eventually), we had huge problems as the Mortgage company wouldn't give us a mortgage without a covenant. As the original owner was still very bitter about the sale, and was totally uncooperative this presented a huge problem However we eventually managed to persuade him to agree to a covenant. This I think is the covenant you referred to.


I must say we were very happy at 199 it is a brilliant house we were sad to leave but unfortunately we had a growing family. Are the allotment's still out the back?

Two more houses for sales along the row - adjacent halves - looks like I am getting some new neighbours:

Have to say I find it fascinating seeing what others have done with theirs - better way of getting ideas than looking at property / design magazines.


I need to work out which one in the row is the one that has been turned into a 4 bedroom house and get the details of their architect, it looks fab.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
