Work starts on the eagerly awaited new Foxtons office on Brixton Road

[Maurice Picarda]

Are Foxtons more arsehole than other estate agents then? I've never come across them tbh.

They're particularly bad at being estate agents. Youing, fuckwitted, no idea about the picomarkets within individual areas.

 

[Dan U]

thought that pic had been found not to have been taken in Croydon?

. It's definitely Croydon. Internet people mistook the tram signs at the bottom of Surrey street and on the left of the picture for Dutch signs iirc.

Sometimes mad shit on the Internet is real!

There were no flats set on fire in the Hackney riot. Cars & bins, yes; buildings, no. You must be confusing it with somewhere else.
Not to detract from your point.

I of course meant Tottenham - where the former Co-op building (latterly Allied Carpets) had twenty-six flats upstairs and twenty-six households made homeless. Sorry for the Transpontine lack of thought.

When the mighty waters of the majestic River Effra are in full spate no one should stand in nature's way.

They are cunts of the highest order; the only estate agent to operate outside the agreed code of conduct by the industry.

Infamous for knocking on the doors of people with for-sale signs on their house and promise much higher sale price if they ditch their estate agent and go with them. Invariably the properties will remain unsold for months and the seller eventually agrees to lower the asking price to a more realistic one. But by then Foxtons has stolen them from the competition, which was their game plan all along. Their agents all look like complete cunts, and I'm willing to bet this is one instance where you can judge a book by its cover. They drive and park like utter selfish wankstains as well.

Parasitic scum.

Despite all the bad things people are saying about them they will not only give me a free valuation, but also find me the perfect tenants. So there.

Actually I'll see what they can do abut the noodles too.

I really can't see how replacing a minor rodent infestation with a major scumbag infestation improves things.

They found me tenants once*. They then charged for every thing they possibly could; even work I'd done on their behalf.

Tenants all looked good on paper and had to pay some exorbitant registration fee. Foxton's messed up the household inventory meaning they appeared to put all of my personal possessions into the agreement (books, pictures, record collection). That was rectified, until it got around for the tenants to pay rent month two, which they refused to pay as they had a contract and it also included all my possessions on the inventory. Got rid of Foxtons in two days and would never ever touch them as a tenant or a renter again.

We had a a4 glossy poster / flyer thing through the door today; evidently the people they get to distribute them don't understand the 'no junk mail' signs on most doors on my street.

* ten years ago in a different borough.

[Ms T]

We got a flyer today as well.

 

[nagapie]

Me too.

Foxtons is not exactly new to Brixton. They have been 'active' here since at least 2005.

But their big shiny stomach-churning trendy cafe-office smack bang in the middle of town will be.

 

[T & P]

Say, there isn't any chance of an empty Victoria Line train overshooting the station, breaking through the ground and crashing into the premises, is there?

 

[editor]

Be terrible if a rubbish cart lost control and hit the new Foxtons.

Yes, bought a house on Elm Park through them back in 1999

 

[MillwallShoes]

protest against the rising tide of the use of the word "awesome" in brixton.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's a pretty standard alternative to 'great'. Use it myself and I'm almost 40.

i have personal issues with the word.

do you like hand made cup cakes and/or have a giant beard?

 

[Orang Utan]

Hate cupcakes, have small beard.
It's a great word! It's awesome

 

[fortyplus]

The devaluation of superlatives is a continuous process in the evolution of language. Awesome will be replaced by something else even more annoying.

 

[leanderman]

'Pre-ordering' is quite annoying

I wouldn't be surprised if you still describe things as 'mega' irl

 

[Pickman's model]

'Pre-ordering' is quite annoying

And 'pre-planning' as though there was 'post-planning'

Totes amazeballs.
