lenk, won't assume you are a homeowner of a property bought more than five years ago, but if you are.......


I just know it has crossed your mind that the property value hikes in ED have likely tripled said property, so......


Foxton's and the city types with sprogs have actually created a healthy retirement fund for those who have been around for a while. I'm not currently a property owner, but I certainly wish I had bought a four bed terrace for ?200,000 five years ago!

I think the Barry House asylum seekers should be moved into ED Foxtons. Then they can lounge about feeding each other free grapes and having tax-payer funded group sex in full view of bob and Tiger Ranks. At the moment if you want a peek of a traumatised, lost and lonely person thousands of miles from home, you have to sneak up the alley to the side of Christchurch and peer in through the windows. And that sort of thing can so easily be misinterpreted.

The day I engage in a 'house prices' chat in the internets is well, um, a bad day.


It's not the money anyway, it's the people. they bring with them all manner of idiocy and narrow-minded values.


anyways, Foxes. Or is this the Foxton's thread.

Right. "They" are narrow-minded, whereas you, of course, are enlightened and broad minded. Except that you constantly judge, generalise and dismiss people on the basis of class, colour, profession, parental status or anything that makes them not exactly like you.


Do you really not see the irony in your, somewhat tired and tedious, stance?

what a middle-class thing to postzzz

My cats chase the foxes in my garden. The foxes seem terrified of the cats and won't go near them and my cats are soft little cats - not aggressive cats. The cats are certainly in charge.

I was worried at first but so far the only thing that they seem to do is steal my shoes if I leave them near the back door. They all seem to have a terrible shoe fetish.

Try 10 years ago...


Sorry... anyway... Michael J Fox. Terrible what happened to him. Have you seen the video of him on Youtube talking about stem cell research?

But they do have winning smiles and, apparently, are very kind to their dear old mums!

we have four cats (dont ask it just happened) and a lot of foxes in our garden, some days we see the oldest cat lying in the sun with a fox doing the same right near her, there seems to some sort of truce going on, we have seen the cats and foxes nose to nose and having a sniff of each other. i think some young cats are at risk, but foxes seem to keep away from larger adult cats as they know they can do some damage if provoked
the cat in question was "a bit of a goer" before we adopted her from a neighbor who just let her have litter after litter, to which we put a stop too (after keeping two of her last litter ourselves) she is a pedigree too so was probably quite attracted to a cocky south london fox, a bit of rough if you like, if she did have sunglasses they would have been D&G :)

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
