anyone else bored of those 'typical period victorian' properties? Totally M.O.R, stayed, predictable, lacking in any originality and I fall asleep just looking at some of those pictures above. give me a 70's 80's and decent budget any day of the week.. you can't even swing a cat in some of those gardens.

> give me a 70's 80's and decent budget any day of the week


I know there have been quite a few makeovers/refurbs of ugly 70s houses, but the Victorian houses have a few big advantages... high ceilings, well proportioned rooms, bigger windows, more light. Each to their own though..

No mention of Acorn estate agents, about the only one on Lordship Lane not included. Thinking of going with them. Any thoughts or feedback please.

Pat, we rented our flat from Acorn in East Dulwich and bought our current flat through Acorn in Forest Hill. Obviously we didn't have a choice in the agent but they were ok. The agents on the ground were helpful and keen to progress the sale so I assume that they might be Ok if you were choosing them to sell through.

In terms of estate agent ratings, also check out this site: http://www.allagents.co.uk/postcode/se22/ - lots of reviews of most of the estate agents in SE22.


Probably the wrong area for you, but we bought from Robert Stanford in Forest Hill and they were great.

Thanks for all replies here and on the one I started in the other section and also the private messages.

Seems the general advice is to steer well clear so will look elsewhere at some of the suggestions given to me.

@fizzmoll: that link is very interesting, no reviews and not part of the openess section.

That does ring alarm bells.

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
