My friend is looking for a one or two bed flat to rent in forest hill/catford/ed.

The problem is most of the rent is paid by DSS and it seems no one is now taking it! She has a full deposit, guarantor and good references but it seems impossible to find a landlord who accepts benefits ( why I'm not sure as it pretty much guarantees the rent!).

She is a good tenant, a single mum with a part time job and an eight year old daughter who goes to school in forest hill so would need to be able to get there easily. Her budget is around ?1200 a month. Her support network is in the area and has lived in her previous house in FH for the last seven years with no arrears. Her current landlord wants to put the rent up by over ?400 a month so she has been served notice.

Any private landlord looking for a good long term tennant please get in touch!

  I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't.

  It was you who made it personal in the first place, Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets, and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app and go to sleep 😴💤

  Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
