So you are an Estate Agent without a shop. The OP said you were an online only estate agent, hence the confusion.


I have bought and sold houses before without ever having been to an estate agent's shop.


Maybe you should call yourselves "No Shops" instead of "No Flies" ;)


Given the additonal info I cant see that you are much different from a normal estate agent excpet that you are significantly cheaper. Good luck!

I don't think you've got the hang of this, katanita. It should go something like:


"Having tried many of the established estate agencies in East Dulwich, I was left feeling crushed and devalued. Finally I found No Flies agency - they were like a breath of fresh air, and they really valued me as a client and as a person."

Dammmmmnn. You're quite right. And I should be using this post to get all defensive about my true identity as one of the directors of No Flies and accuse everyone of pursuing personal vendettas.


I'll get it right next time, promise, and remember to add the requisite telltale spelling mistakes and bizarre punctuation.

If I were ever to sell-up there would be nobody in the running except for Brendan. I thought "estate agent with integrity" was an oxymoron before meeting him. If you search for "No Flies" on the EDF then you will find plenty of recommendations from satisfied customers and I predict many more to come. Yes, they face challenges in the future but who doesn't.

A good idea. Although I'm very familiar with that classic thread already. Amazing.

mcg was an oddbod. actually a nice enough fella who could contribute to a debate, but a short fuse, terrible bass youtube uploads, and some very big shoulder-based chips were his undoing.



...that and the concerted campaign enlisting hackers to break the forum with DoS attacks and the like....

They are advertising on the forum on the left-hand side banner, the name makes more sense - very clever. I've only ever heard good things about them too and I think they way they respond to queries on the forum is excellent.

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when Virgin Records first opened for business (70s). That seemed like an outrageous name at the time but these days nobody bats an eyelid at an odd moniker (Orange, Apple, O2, Smeg, R Soles, Yahoo, Google, Flickr). Odd.

No, that is street art.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
