Whittler Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 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...

right-clicking Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 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.
