Owning your own home

I wouldn't touch foxtons with yours... :)

It's a local agent.

Photos are ongoing as I type. Should be online this evening.

Foxtons are a funny lot. They basically asked us to offer x% below asking price because they had just opened in the area and weren't making commission so just needed to fill the books.
They're a bit hastle-y but they don't get payed much and have a pretty dire job.

Never, ever, make excuses for Estate Agents. They made their choice to sell their souls when they took the job.

Please buy my flat: http://www.stanfordestates.london/property-details/25766380/

Haha! Yeah... I agree. Its just that foxtons were the least cunty out of all the ones we dealt with.
Just imagine what Stow brothers and Estates 17 are like...

Think we're putting an offer in on a place we saw today in Walthamstow Monday morning. #worthapunt

Aaaay! Where abouts? (You don't have to be too specific)

An ideal purchase for professionals commuting needing to commute for work.

If the I don't what because even where the now work commute professionals always ever commuting? If so dibs.

what was your purchase price if you dont mind me asking?

£265k in Jan 2013

Thanks! Kind of exciting for me ;)
Where are you moving to?

Bromley. Waiting for news on our offer tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Bromley

Same borough buddies! Slightly cheaper council tax than Lewisham too ..

Good luck with the offer.

I should've cut out the middle man and just bought shares in Kingfisher. Off to B&Q again today.

On the plus side, we now have a fully furnished flat. Just some subtle finessing to go.

Any recommendations for a handyman/carpenter to put up some shelves etc? I could do it but probably not to a standard that won't annoy me every time I look at it;

• extra shelf inserts for kitchen cupboard (need some extra white melamine type shelves cut and those little holes drilled for the shelf studs)

• need a series of shelves fitted into the alcoves either side of the fireplace in lieu of a bookcase

• some floating shelves in the kitchen

That sort of thing.

We've found a house here in Oz we like, going for a look on Tuesday... Fingers crossed!

Just off church hill/prospect hill road. Seemed a nice area?

Yeah that is quite nice, near the village and not too far from Lloyd Park etc.

Yeah, its good round there. It's a funny area - there are little pockets of really nice bits and large swathes of pretty crappy bits.
Estate agents will be referring to Church Hill as the Village soon...

Pic number 4 for the lols...

An 'added benefit' which is 'perfect for the live-in nanny'.

Being an estate agent would be lols.

I love how you can take a shit in the living room. Such convenience.

.

You can't put a price on shitting in the livingroom.

Hahhahhahhahhaha! Fuck London! I realise how this is gonna sound, but if I didn't have the good fortune of already owning a home here, there is no way on earth I would buy one now, even with the ability to do so. Half-a-mill for that sorry dump. God help us.

£425k for a 2 bed flat in hither green. Wtf?
