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.

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
