Petition for reasonable rents from Dulwich Estates


bumpy

Recommended Posts

Umm, bumpy, unfortunately as a charity the Estate have to ask the 'market rate' for their rents etc. Or at least that is what they will probably tell you. By law, they cannot offer special or reduced terms as this is against the Charities Commission rules on charitable status.

I'm absolutely not saying this to excuse the Estate, and i can see how this position really does not help to support businesses who may need more flexible terms etc and is actually punitive in its application.

Sincerely, i do wish you the best of luck, and i'll be watching with interest to see if anything does change in the rather rigid and inflexible stance that the Estate takes with its tenants on rent issues as a result of your petition.... sadly, i won't be holding my breath...

You are repeating yourself.


I don't think the Dulwich Estate owns any retails property in East Dulwich.


Can you give examples, or are you making it up?

Historically The Dulwich estate used to manage it's own residential properties, and were socially responsible for the rents they charged, mostly inline with the local councils, they at some point around the 1990's then marketed their houses through estate agents and hiked the rents up in the process.

This so called charity is a joke, the only beneficiaries I perceive are the people that run it and not anyone who has any genuine need.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
