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.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
