Estate 'agents', this, 'n spurious McD's (as we kids refer to it), that, KFC the other and something else whatever else.


Any thread concerning estate 'agents' turns the forum into a Larkinesque This Be The Verse


They fuck you up, Golden Property Services.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the Foxtons they had

And add some Pedder, just for you.


But they were fucked up in their turn

By Fish Needs Water/Truepennys,

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at Ludlow Thompson?s throats.


Acorn hands on misery to man.

It deepens like a Hindwoods 'rep'.

Get out as early as you can,

And don?t have any Roy Brooks yourself.


Now, how much of a downer? VERY, that's how b@stard much, so let's less it as far as estate agents are concerned. Really.


For future reference when a store becomes available, WIMPY bar, as first choice, completely uncontroversial as far as I'm concerned. That half-pounder, mmmm. Plus cutlery, metal and all, last time I looked.

Second, a late night opening Nando's, drink has been taken, chicken, spice, chips. perfect.

Third Burger King, tied fourth KFC and McDonalds.


I simply can't see anyone NOT loving the latter proposals, why you'd have to be a bit 'Radio Rental' or hopped-up on goofballs to challenge them, surely.


Surely?

Never been on this forum, but ive lived here for about 15 years. Do we need another estate agent , well why not i say stick another 10 on the high street let them all fight it out. As for the service they provide im not impressed, never really had to go to one. But know that i needed one he tried to tell me that i should stick with him as he had my best interest at heart. And than tried to get his mates to buy at a low price. I thought the whole point was to advertise the property and not keep it to yourself. " ah no i know what im doing" No Decency to call up even after a few weeks to tell me he wanted to buy it at a lower price, when that came to light... Wont mention any names. but they know who they are, im sure they have fleeced some poor old ladies in there times. Its no secret.

So i say stick another 10 estate agents on for i care, and let the nasty ones sink with there crap service.

But maybe you should have a poll of agents so we could all give votes as to the best service, i would not want some poor chap to get fleeced.

Ofcourse the only reason i found out was as ive been here for a while and have a few good friends...

What a complete load of bollocks.

If people are against estate agents taking up shops on Lordship Lane I would like to recommend an alternative. Having been on the market with two leading estate agents for nearly a year - both with commercial offices and getting nowhere fast I turned to the new local estate agent called No Flies. They are a local internet based estate agency company concentrating on our local area. They sold our property within 2 weeks and pushed the sale to exchange in 5 weeks. Proof if it was needed that the days of the shop windows selling properties are long gone.


There are many recommendations for No Flies on this forum - that is how I found them. They are obviously very successful even though they aren't taking up a shop and this is reflected in their lower fees.

    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
