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.

    • 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
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse
