Balzac Writing Desk, originally purchased for £285. Now £125 or best offer. I've used it as a makeup table and it the marks to show it (!) - hence the price - but with a bit of care/varnish/paint, it could be good as new. Open to offers. Pick-up Melbourne Grove, SE22.

height 76 x width 122 x depth 60

Original description: The Balzac writing desk is a beautiful yet functional piece that would grace any interior elegantly whilst offering a practical work space. Hand-carved from sustainably sourced mango wood, the French-style Balzac includes three roomy drawers with a central reservation drawer that has been designed to hold a standard sized laptop. A pencil tray neatly fits into the drawers for office paraphernalia.

- Party wall dispute - what now?

  Our neighbour had a loft conversion and we signed a party wall agreement - there was no encroachment on our property at all. His property is leasehold with Southwark being the freeholder, also the ground floor flat is a Southwark tenancy and they were notified. I would definitely get building regs involved.

  It is particularly important that you have a survey done before the work commences (which should be paid for by your neighbour) - this allows a 'before and after' picture to identify any issues caused by your neighbour's work - which again must be remedied at his expense. As this all must be paid for by your neighbour (under law) it may be an acceptable risk to commission your own survey (again your right to choose the surveyor although your neighbour can offer his own surveyor or structural engineer, which is normally cheaper for him, if you are prepared to trust that). You might additionally, although the surveyor should also do this, photograph any areas in your property you believe may be at risk - new cracks in plasterwork are his responsibility to remedy as well. Your neighbour is quite wrong to suggest that the work he is intending does not fall into the party wall legislation - and informing both Southwark and the ground landlord of his intentions is a good first step. As others have said, a solicitor's letter to remind him of his legal obligations might be an expense worth bearing. The potential damage to his and your property could be irreparable. Other than choice of surveyor (his or yours) there are no other areas of negotiation - the party wall legislation is surprisingly clear on this, I believe.

  Tommy was super efficient and polite. He took time to dismantle my boiler properly and give it a thorough service. He explained to me exactly what he was doing and charged fairly. I really recommend Tommy!
