Estate Agency Descriptions...

[Hover Fly]

I sold my house to "A bloke in a pub". I was sat talking to my ex-boss and some other assorted bods when the question came up of what I was doing with the hovel when I moved to France. "I"ll take the first sensible offer" said I, "£XX,000" said boss's mate, a builder, "OK!" We were at our respective solictors' next morning.

Estate agents and property developers around here spell Deptford G-r-e-e-n-w-i-c-h.

Around here they spell Greenwich B-l-a-c-k-h-e-a-t-h

An estate agent once gave me the keys to an empty house to show myself round. I needed a poo, there was some toilet paper there... so... I did :-)

...then you discovered the water was off and someone had flushed it once already...

Purchased our current house and sold our first flat by private sale without the help of estate agents, saved approximately £ 3000.00 ....... it's worth knocking on a couple of doors.

I work for an estate agency, the stuff I see go on the websites can be quite humours.
Especially when you see pictures of the water pump and the rock pile made from the making of the swimming pool.

Which one? I'm looking.

£1000 or under
1 or 2 bed with room for 5 bikes
Double glazing
carpets
Must be nearish Streatham/west norwood (and no, I will not live in Norbury, Catford or Thornton Heath but I would be happy with Crystal Palace or Sydenham)
Unfurnished

I would rather not say which one I work for.

I've just had a look, we don't rent anything in south london for less than £1,500pm and that is in surbiton.
Can I intrest you in a 5 bedroom house in Greenwich for £160,000pm?

How is the land worth that much without planning permission?

I can't see it being too difficult to get permission on that plot, I'd be tempted myself if I had the funds to spare, but the price would have to be negotiable.

I was more interested in the title... "Character property"...? There is no property! Just the land! And what's with 'character'?

I wonder what the original house looked like? That could have had a lot of character. Also wondering why its been demolished.
