Yeah 100%. There’s a couple of not too over done Stow brothers ones that I thought I could handle but that one day viewing bullshit put me right off. I actually questioned why they did it and after a lengthy empty explanation I told them I wasn’t into it and wouldn’t be playing along but to get in touch if they don’t sell in a week or two, don’t think he was expecting that and he started trying to tell me their might be some flexibility. Joker. Think I dealt with Shah, stuck me as an ok guy, another wide boy tried to flog us a shithole for Stow brothers -25k prices, told him to jog on. Joker.
It’s defo an odd situation out there atm, a bit of a game of nerves with folks trying to panic people into paying more than places are worth because it’s people who’ve made a decent amount moving out of hackney. Good to hear its cooling though, friends have just bought and they had spent 6 months getting outbid by about 40k over asking.

Yeah we moved from Stoke Newington and the guy at Stow Bros literally said “you moving from stokey” too us the moment we sat down, a guess or just fact probably.
I think the 1 /2 flat situation is still a bit mad 300-400 ish, as have a friend trying to buy and it’s all one day viewings whoever it is with, but they say it’s still going for asking or little below. Mainly on your situation.
We were in a good situation in our flat, under offer. The place we bought was on for two weeks in what I guess now for E17 is middle ground price for a 3 bed. And for that we could view them
When we wanted rather than with a hoard, bar stow bros.We’re up off south of forest rd and east of hoe st.
Saw some nice ones round st James just wanted to be a bit nearer Lloyd park and ‘the village’ which we thought of as wanky and kind of is but kind of familiar for wanky people from Stoke Newington 🤷🏻♂️

Yeah reckon there’s a flipper doing up houses with exposed brick work, dodgy features coloured walls chimneys. I’m still on many EA emails and they are all being reduced month by month week by week etc. Market has definitely calmed and I wouldn’t be offering more on anything you see. One to avoid imo is stow brothers as they still do this OIEO, one day open houses then best offers , central has a bad rep but Shah in their saw us good and was bang on it for us. Showed us lots of stuff we didn’t see on zoopla/or not even on yet.
