Are prices going down in Hackney?

[iamnotstressed]

Does anybody know?

That would be fab bundle. Poor op, it's a not so bad here really.

snort!

maybe she lives in a village and I've insulted her!

kp, will try my neighbour today, x

kp, we use EC1 Lighting in Amwell Street. They aren't the cheapest, but I do rate them.

Thanks frogs and bundle, will try both, the poor children have been going to bed in darkness for a week now...

surely it just helps them sleep better.

Yes, who needs lights anyway? Our bathroom is still in darkness, but we have a little row of tealights for that authentic 1970s powercut ambience.

sounds like an interiors magazine frogs .

Interiors mag?

Maybe if you cut out the thick layer of filth, missing floorboards, exposed pipes and free-standing bath that isn't meant to be free-standing...

Yes, your dd and mine are spiritual sisters, aren't they? Dd1 and ds have both been ill, whereupon dd2, not to be outdone, announced that she had a tummyache and it would only get better if she had icecream.

Well, we are thinking of selling in Homerton Village, can't afford yours HC, we will probably stay in the area if we do sell. Our local friendly estate agent said nothing is selling, so not good news if you are in a hurry.Anyway we have made a packet on our property, so won't moan too much.

HC what are the schools like in your catchment area? That might impact on how quickly you sell, I guess.

Does it really cost £750k to buy a house in Hackney? How big is it?

It's a big place Hackney. Some parts are much pricier than others.

It's lovely where HC lives, her house looks great.

I'm sure it does. I was just a little staggered by the idea of three quarters of a million pounds.

there are more expensive things round here nkf, ours really isn't over-priced (well, apparently it is for a quick sale....). good luck with it all iamnotstressed.

we are just in the gayhurst catchment in a low siblings year. but ds goes to queensbridge which is rapidly improving & has a lovely head. not sure how to condense that to go in a estate agent's blurb though!

hc, the usual formulation for that is: "In favourable proximity to X and Y schools."

Snurk.

ta frogs!

1 viewing today & 2 tomorrow - i am scurrying around like a crazy thing....
