Go on... sell me 2 bed+ flat in East Dulwich for dirt cheap???


Recommended Posts

It's not the same now, of course. But I bought and broke the bank back in early 90's, and a few of in-laws savings, friends and credit card companies to do so. I did it as a punt, fudged a few figures *ahem* on a self cert, and all that. But you can't do that now, sadly in some way


It's all locked down by the suits now

I guess it was a mistype for 'shabby'


I don't think there's any contradiction between saying that people make choices but the consequences of their choices may be largely determined by future factors over which they have no control, and it's particularly apt for the UK/London property market over the last 30 years or so.


But the OP said 'I want a 2 bed flat in ED cheap' because otherwise he'll be renting forever, to which the answer (regardless of the current market situation) is 'go find a two bed flat you can afford - like everyone else has to'. And I'm bound to say that if you can afford to rent in ED you can afford to buy somewhere.

Despite the tongue-in-cheek nature of my original post there is obviously an element of genuine despair with the current London housing market. The issue is certainly saving the necessary deposit and not the monthly

Mortgage payments (although it would be unwise of us to calculate what is an affordable monthly payment based on today's interests rates). Lots of sound advice here though, thanks for taking the time to reply and offer some wordly wisdom everyone! As a self employed music producer and songwriter I may just have to wait for Rihanna to take up my next tune and then I'll be sitting pretty ;) one can dream.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
