Just picked up on the LTN discussion that this hairdressers in Dulwich Village has closed. While some have blamed the LTN, there is another post that says there is a notice in the window from Dulwich Estates stating the lease has been forfeited "as a result of illegal assignment/subletting". 

 

Does anyone know any more?

  • Jenijenjen changed the title to HG Harold George

Dear all, understandably there are many rumours flying around about the salon. As the owner of HG Dulwich Village, I can confirm that the salon is open. Both we and The Dulwich Estate have been working together over the past few months to ensure a smooth transition, however unforeseen delays occurred which were the reason for temporarily closing. Our relationship with The Dulwich Estate remains strong and we are excited about the future of HG Dulwich Village and are committed to continuing to serve our valued clients. Wishing you all the best, Maria

Good to clarify and hopefully all publicity is good publicity.  Perhaps those quick to speculate, particularly that this was an issue about the LTN, may wish to acknowledge they were wrong.  And not jump to conclusions.  I'll be criticised for being patronising but it needs to be said.

I think you will find I was not wrong about the LTN being an issue for Harold George.  If you think the LTN's are not an issue for the shops in DV ask in the Post Office, the Chemist, the Art shop, the Bookshop and the Dry Cleaners as well.

Whilst the LTN may well be an issue for Harold George and other businesses, this is not the same as the salon closing down because they were a "casualty" of the LTN which is what you have you have stated elsewhere.

The current owner only took over a few months ago which suggests the business is viable despite the LTN.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
