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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
