I am going to post this in "residential property" section too, but as it is mostly posts about seeking/offering rooms or flats to let I thought I'd try the "issues/gossip" section as well. I am considering selling my house in East Dulwich and am investigating the traditional estate agent route. However, if anyone has any thoughts about selling a house without an agent (and save on paying their fees) I'd be VERY interested. Especially if you've done it yourself! Note to any Estate Agents ED Forum members: I probably will go down the more traditional route so no need to write and tell me why your agency is the best option, thanks.

"There is no right price for a house"


true enough but we chose to be fair rather than greedy.


We ended up with a little less than we'd have got from the ludicrous prices being touted by agents (after their criminal cut), and the saving was passed on to the tenants, meaning we got a good choice of them and we seem to have ended up *fingers crossed* with very nice ones.


And a warm feeling inside.

Sadly, we're not selling up in SE22 and buying some discounted villa in Southern Europe which has sat empty since 2008 gathering dust on its marble floors. We're staying in London. So, yes, we have to get as much as we can for the house. Sadly. I don't think anyone we buy our next property from will be charitable towards us. So, I suspect using an agent will be our route, but I just wanted to hear about any alternatives.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
