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.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
