Cassius Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 "Why are people trying to defend estate agents? It's not just acceptable to be rude to them it's acceptable to key their cars and kick them in the shins (at the least)."Goodness what a lovely person you sound!

karter Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lots of building work happening again in the old Ludlow rental site. There seems to be a new bar or counter installed to the rear so this still could be a bookies or a cafe' style place. It's unclear.

Jeremy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 seanmlow - do you think that most of the estate agents will be able to sustain themselves throughout 2009 through lettings income?

seanmlow Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I believe so, but the smaller ones will suffer. Sales, believe or not, are picking up. The problem with places like OS is that they offer very low fees, so they take lots of stock, but cannot maintain the level of interest with the resources and staff.

Jeremy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Don't mean to be rude Katie, but... who are you to veto a bookies? Maybe you won't use it, and neither will I... other people possibly will. At the end of the day it will provide employment, better that than an empty shop.

Frankly I have never used a bookies, and hopefully by the time we are out of this recession there might be a viable alternative to Estate Agents, but both are preferable to empty shops.

And every empty shop means people losing their jobs, and in this climate it would be naive to suggest they will all walk into another one, and then how many of them have kids who will go short as a result, possibly lose their home.I'm sure there are plenty of shops on Lordship Lane I won't end up spending my money in but I don't wish the people out of business.

matthew123 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It'd make a great new bar that location wouldn't it - straight across the zebra crossing if you can't get served in the EDT, or the first bar on Lordship Lane for commuters returning from a long day at the office.

SimonM Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think that very position would make it hard to get a Change of Use from A2 - never mind that the premises are too small for a bar surely?
