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.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
