Recommendation for rental - Daisylets

Hi all,


I'd just like to recommend our estate agents (can't actually believe I just typed that sentence, haha!), Daisylets. As far as I'm aware they currently only do rentals, but my partner and I have been renting with them for over two years now, and they are honestly just brilliant.


They're lovely people - up-front, honest, and their fees are ridiculously cheap compared to other agents. Forgive me if my memory is off, but I believe when we were looking around a couple of years ago Foxtons was asking for around ?350 in 'processing' fees for each tenant. Not to mention the deposits and 3 months' worth of bank statements etc that they demanded. In contrast, I think Daisylets charged us about ?90 each for my partner and me. No 'contract renewal' fees. No 'moving out' fee. Of course, the sums may be a bit different now but I can't imagine they've started rampantly profiteering in the last couple of years!


We've had a couple of problems with our flat, mostly plumbing, and each time Daisylets have sent somebody out the same day (within a few hours) and had it fixed. The last visit was on the weekend, and our plumber told us that Daisylets was the only agency he'd come out for on a Saturday. So they're clearly as popular with their contractors as they are with their tenants.


In fact, the only real problem we have is that we are now stuck renting only with them for the rest of our lives until we buy a place, as neither of us can face going back to a 'traditional' estate agents! Fortunately, it seems like word is growing as I'm seeing more of their signs up around ED.


Oh, and our landlord's an absolute diamond as well. There's another sentence I've never said before! I don't know if we're just lucky, but I personally think that Daisylets' human approach may attract a better class of landlord, the ones who are also sick of the misleading & overpriced rubbish that normally constitutes an estate agents in London. It's genuinely such a relief to find an agency that we feel we can trust not to screw us over (although we've not moved out yet, so let's see! Haha!)


I know I sound like an advert, and anybody who's ever rented in London before is going to be sceptical of rave reviews about an estate agent(!), but if you're looking for somewhere to rent in the ED area, just go and see them. You won't be disappointed!

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
