Car park is ghost town, looks like 50% capacity, everyone is moving out as no longer need to go into the office for life
3k rentals are not £1800 rentals a month
Look forward for going for a beer with you [emoji4]
You can get a CW hotel for £30 a night at the moment why would you want to rent
I am looking with a friend for something more modest, 2/3 bed 2 bath and fair size.
It's slightly better in terms of quality than other areas of London and with the discount for now it makes more sense.
I've been trying to rent on my own but difficult to prove income as unemployed for quite a few months now... probably everyone has seen my rants around here. So would be sharing for now and waiting for things to pick-up.
Our budget is 1600, we can up it slightly but everything we have found for now is a bit trash.
One had underfloor heating which was not working (which the LL avoided saying) and the LL was trying to convince us that it is very cosy the property and it does not need any heating. I probably look gullible but I am not that...
He was asking £1750, it's 12th floor in one of the towers lower than CW, we offered £1500, he said no and we left it there.
Sure, we should definitely go for a beer. I have a sense that we'll see a lot of each other in the local bars.Comment

How do they afford to keep them empty and are not concerned about the market...?Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostA former Chinese colleague of mine was shocked when I said in London older properties had more value. She explained to me that anything more than about 60 years is bulldozed and rebuilt as no-one who is Chinese wants such an old property.
I'm watching a lot of George Clarke stuff at the moment and it's shocking what people pay for period properties that are ugly and not made for modern living.
You see them say "oh we love the period features..." while they point at a cracked and filthy piece of cornice or a discoloured painted glass window.
Just a bunch of tossers wannabe posh.Comment
