Am off to East Dulwich today, looking at 1 bed properties, anyone live near Deventer Crescent, Underhill Road, Derwent Grove or Grove Vale? Are these all quite central to the hustle and bustle of life in ED?, I don't want to live too far away from where all the life is in some really quiet part of ED, are they near Lordship Lane where all the shops are? Many thanks for any help, that or I could wait until I get there and have a good look around myself, :-$

Underhill Road - depends how far up the property is, as it's a really long road. The lower end is really close to LL and all it has to offer, but the further up you go the longer the walk. Grove Vale is where ED station is, so very close to the action, but could potentially be quite noisy as there's a lot of traffic along that stretch. Not sure on the other roads.


Have fun looking!

Came to visit, liked the area quite vibrant and I was more impressed than I expected to be, Grove Vale quite close to BR and good for getting to work from, am making a few appointments to come down and actually view inside some of the properties I looked at over the weekend, sometimes, if you're lucky you can get to view without an appointment or going through the estate agents, what I used to do was look very obviously at the outside of the property, knock on the door and and ask could I borrow a pen as I wanted to write the estate agent's number down for this property so I could make an appointment to view, you'd be quite surprised, quite a few people say well if its just a quick look you want, come on in! Though come to think of it this is not a sensible thing to do, but as a lone woman you appear less threatening, but obviously if a man answers the door and there is no sign of another female in the property then I give it a miss and say I'll go via the estate agents, not ideal I know and it could be potentially dangerous, but does save time sometimes especially when it is hard to get time off work to go view properly!

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
