  • What is it with estate agents?
    viewing booked on saturday, only my partner can attend as i’m letting our buyer do a measure up, already moved it once and she’s travelling down.

    i live 3 min the property i want to view and it’s highly likely we will make an offer, agent says they have no appointments free, she is off for a week and can do the following week.

    partners sale is going through and buyer pushing for a move date, property I want to view is chain free so we are a decent proposition, why would you not make the effort to facilitate a viewing for your client?

  • Had this locally too, family wants a flat on same street as ours (defo too close for them to us TBH, but they like the place), every time a flat comes up, literally call the morning of the sign going up = bookings full, please try another one another time. So this week I just rocked up to a viewing that I could see going on, during a dog walk and bossed my way in, with the dog kinda fed up being polite about it. Has money, want to give to your client, you interested? Oh no, the flat is a joke, thankfully I was able to see that with my own eyeballs and not allow family to buy yet another pile (that I will be fixing for them). As the area has 'picked up' the quick flippers have been in and out of these streets, usually easily identified by the huge pallets of budget laminate flooring, and equal amounts of plasterboard and dot/dab compound, but I don't always see them sneaking those materials in.

  • There are flats that have been on for months, you have to want to buy one as a lot of people see a tower block and run away thinking it’s a council estate but it’s TMH territory (theres one listed at the moment) and they are architecturally significant to be in books etc but not everyone’s cup of tea.
    they went up with a big increases in 2017-2019 but has since stabilised and demand is level with supply so not an offers over +20% situation.

    will see what happens...
    anything to avoid having to move to catford.
