Offer on house

[Guineveretoo]

You still have me shaking. The place I'm after is only two streets away on kingscote road. My children would have to go to the grubbyest school in Croydon.

Where is the best area to look for houses. I was up woodside way the other day and the loose children on the streets and park made it feel like a dump despite reminding me of clapham.

Hey, what's wrong with Woodside??

ooh babies! how exciting

I grew up on Long Lane which isnt too far from there. I was told by the LEA or whoever decides these things that I would have to go to Ashburton High School (i went to the juniors, which was fine) and my Mum shouted at them and I ended up at Shirley, which was an Ok school. Im not brilliant at judging how good schools are. Theres also Edenham which wasnt too bad.

I have a friend who lives literally just round the corner from Kingscote Rd, could get a current and up to date idea of what the area is like to live in off her.

That would be really nice if you could. I'm all worried now, I don't like kids, I like old people and post offices.

Let me know how she/he reports back please.

Hmm she only really likes pubs and shiny things so she may not know much about old people and post offices

there's apparently a hole network of tunnels under there, hackney council are worried about the road collapsing

A_S stick the postcode of the house into the area search on www.homecheck.co.uk if you haven't already and it will give you and overview of potential flooding, subsidence or pollution.

I like old people and post offices.

You won't when you get the vendors' postcard from Marbella - where they've retired to on their scam money.

Seriously, you're lucky. Everything we like is either already under offer or has something wrong with it.
