This morning I was crossing Rodwell Road when a very pregnant lady looked 'uncomfortable' (to say the least), I asked if she was ok and then it was fairly obvious she'd gone into labour - I feel like I've been bear hugged! A lovely family on the corner of Rodwell/Crystal Palace road took us into their house, a couple of others phoned the ambulance (one was a GP thank goodness!) and I stayed with Bissy until the paramedics took her off to Kings (more bear hugs!) - by that time her contractions were only 2 minutes apart. She did so well, I'm sure she didn't plan to spend those intimate moments with a complete stranger in another stranger's house, but it did make me smile (especially when she was vowing never to have any more children!!) - when I spoke to her husband he was obviously in far more shock than she was.

Anyway, just wanted to share, I hope Bissy and KT now have a beautiful baby son (its amazing the conversations you can have inbetween 2min contractions...), and what a lovely community east dulwich is - no-one blinked an eye, eveyone just wanted to do all they could for Bissy and the baby.

    • 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.
