I'm really keen to find a house in Stroud green, as it looks like a very cool area, plus my best friend is moving there in January. It's a lunatic market out there, if anyone has any leads then I'd be really grateful of them!

    Davies & Davies is (i think) probably the best estate agent around here.

    What are you looking for? House, Flat, Garden? There are a few places in our road that look like they're being done up by developers...

    I have seen several 'for sale' signs around, mostly Davies & Davies.

    Next door just sold through Davies and Davies. It was done up by a developer who bought it at auction. More importantly, it was sold before it ever got onto D&D's main lists. Until we launch the internet thingy that will destroy estate agents forever (in the next couple of months, probably) I think you basically have to cosy up to them and see what's coming on in their pipeline.

    I'd just like to add a touch of frustration to this topic.

    Some of you may remember that I lived, as a boy, in Florence Road from 1945 - 1953.

    Well, our rent, for a middle set of two rooms and a kitchen - and I know this because I had to take the rent book to the landlord every week - was seventeen shillings and sixpence in 1953.

    !!!!

    Aye. You had it lucky. I lived in a matchbox and had to lick the road clean of a morning.

    etc etc

    I'm not actually interested in where you may have put your tongue in the past, andy, I was simply trying to point out the imbalance that exists between value for money and hot air.
