I have to admit my French is not that good but I do understand a strong feeling of Déjà Vue when it comes along! I have definitely been here before, all the signs are strong, and so is the feeling that the North London property market is about to take another upward turn, but this is ‘Deja Vue’ with a twist… Lending is tougher now than in previous recessions, but that didn’t stop a very strong finish to 2010.
The search is on in Harringay for ‘Ziggy the cat’. Has anybody seen him? Last seen around the Endymion Road N4 area Here is a heartfelt plea from Ziggy’s owners. Our beautiful 6 month old kitten Ziggy went missing from our garden to the rear of Endymion Road N4 on Sunday 17 October 2010. We [...]
Lower asking prices are attracting higher offers! This is the property advice that people seem to be struggling to understand…

Statistics show that 43% of people do not sell through the Estate Agent they initially listed their property with.

If you are not sure about EPC’s as a homeowner or landlord, don’t worry you are certainly not alone! Firstly, most of us agree that anything that reduces carbon emissions is a good thing, afterall we all share the same home if we step back and look at the bigger picture.
Our long-term relationship came to an abrupt end a few weeks ago when I was valuing a ground floor converted flat in Wood Green.

Here is another great example of what can be achieved when local folk communicate and come together. Local residents formed a group called ‘The friends of Fairland Park’ and have taken a public space on the Harringay Ladder, raised a staggering amount (approx £85.000) in funding, by approaching several charities and persuading Haringey Council to contribute the further funding required. All this collective local effort has resulted in the creation of a great ‘public space’ that locals are not only using, but are extremely proud of.
