As if by magic been e-mailed by Ivy


Picture this: You are squashed in amongst a hoard of frostbitten strangers staring up at Big Ben. The bottle of fizz in your hands has gone flat long ago. You try to still bear a grin despite losing all your friends to the crowds and the feeling of early onset, new year morning neck ache. "Who likes fireworks anyway?' you think to yourself. "Damn, I wish I stayed local..."


Don't make the same mistake I have made year in year out. Stay local, don't pay entrance fee or any cab fair. See in the new year amongst familiar faces, great beer and wine and enjoy an awesome DJ set of dancehall fillers from the 60s to the present day (any requests welcome!)

    • 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.
