Hi, I'm just after an update.


I visit ED every couple of weeks, and leaving tonight at about 7pm on Crystal Palace Road I was forced to stop the car because of a large, very confused duck or goose walking around in the road. It didn't seem to want to take off, perhaps because of the fog and the dark.


A couple who were passing on foot also stopped in concern, and said they couldn't leave it there, and assured me they would call the RSPB or someone appropriate locally.


If they're reading this, can they update me on what happened to the poor thing? Most London traffic I get stuck behind doesn't have feathers!


Thanks-

Serena

A relative of ours once had a swan 'stuck' in their garden and called a rescue organisation to collect it. They did and said it was common for swans, geese and other big water-birds to get stuck in gardens, confined spaces etc as they need a huge area for take off.

    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
