after seeing that docu on TV about how they scam their way through a working day by signing documents that they shouldn't in order to push through a sale in order to get the best bonus they can bla bla bla and yet more bla....I'd rather have Woolies back. You new where you were with good old Woolies.


(The docu focused on one particular Foxtons office, so I'm not commenting about AlL the branches. I'm not one for slander.)

I will never use Foxtons - nothing to do with that documentary, either. My experiences of them include charging landlords and tenants for cleaning which was never done, attempting to charge fines for "late" rent payments which were actually on time, etc. As well as complete apathy from head office.

are they on crack LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I watched Grand Designs abroad last night and for 26k you could buy a three bedroomed bloody house with terrace, on three floors in the French countryside. So yes, crack must have something to do with the farcical situation in the country.

Can't say I agree Alachlan (rising house prices being a good thing)


Surely anyone can see that people in important jobs (And many in non-important but better paid jobs) are beyond getting a place so your second argument means nothing if you can't actually get hold of a property in the first place (ie it will never be an investment)


The only way some people in that position can do it is to beg borrow and steal and become a property investor themselves - fuelling the very speculation. It's all a house of cards and will come tumbling down. The fact that people have been predicting the crash for years without it being true doesn't make it not so. Compared to the last housing crash the average UK dweller relies on debt so the pain next time will make any glib remarks about houses being more than a place to live seem very callous

Indeed so Tillie - the way some people talk these days I wonder if they were even alive at the time, or like childbirth, the pain was so great they have convinced themselves it can never happen again


it's the end of a busy day so my post was rambling a bit - but in short: people must come to a realisation that houses are for people (not just themselves) to live in - from there we can all get on with whatever we do in our lives to make money. We start thinking of them as investments we a) accumulate to the detriment of others and b) will suffer ourselves when the next crash comes


Point a) is of course a foundation-block of the world we live in but surely we can restrict it to commodities with less of a basic need for living?

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
