We haven’t blogged about our renting story for a while. When we last left you we wrote a very polite and calm post on how our letting agent didn’t tell us that our flat was simply moving to a new agency and therefore we could of stayed – why not catch-up here. Since then, we’ve…

Read MoreTrust No Bitch (or Letting Agents)
We’ve been slightly M.I.A lately, but as many of you know it’s because we’re packing up and heading off to some new digs. It’s no secret that we loved our little flat and when we received the news that we had to move we were gutted. However, all was not as it seemed.
Read MoreTTFN, Tooting
In the words of Olive Penderghast… You may remember our post not too long ago, it described our torment at being recklessly shoved out on to the street by our evil landlord. Ok, perhaps it’s not that bad, however we are gutted that it’s time to move again. Our current dilemma however is this. We have been kindly…
Read MoreHomeless Bound
It seems we’re back to square one. It has been two years since moving into our flat and sadly, we have to move out. We took it for granted that the landlord would renew but annoyingly the property Gods are against us and so off we go again on the search for another part of…

So what does the current housing crisis look like? Well, on Sunday, The Observer took an in-depth look into London’s current property problems, which also included a little look into our lounge and our thoughts on renting.

Buying in London definitely seems like the impossible dream, however last weekend, whilst at David’s brothers wedding, amongst family members who live in 3 bedroom homes, surrounded by friends with children and adults doing all these grown-up things – we thought that it might be time to get our shit together. We’re sure pretty much…

Getting ready for an inspection is a military operation… Estate agent inspection that is. You put the best bed sheets on, pop the two (dozen) bottles of wine in the bin and generally make sure it’s neat and tidy because at the end of the day, we all want to look like the perfect tenants.…
Read MoreWhy can’t you test drive a home?
We’re having a little Sunday ponder. Now we’re not saying we’re not happy in our new flat, not in the slightest, but isn’t it funny how you go to view a property usually just the once, sometimes you’ll go back a second time and that’s all your going on. When David first told his mum…
Read MoreA match made in heaven…almost
One of the main concerns we had when moving into our flat was getting our freecycled sofa through the door and into our lounge. Now, we don’t exactly live in Buckingham Palace, so we knew we were going to have to be a bit savvy when manoeuvring it in… After taking the legs off and…
Read MoreWelcome to Fairlight Road…
Greetings everyone! We write this with a cup of tea whilst sat at the kitchen table in our new flat with big smiles on our faces. Firstly, you’ll have to excuse us for the delay in posting – moving, unpacking, heading back to work and a lack of internet has meant that we haven’t been…
Read MoreMovin’ on Up…
If you follow either of us on Twitter or Instagram (and if you don’t then why ever not – details here), then you’d probably have noticed that we have been up to our eyeballs in boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… and more boxes…. Once we had moved in to the flat we took much delight…
Read MoreIt’s moving day!
Today we’re picking up the keys, potentially arguing with our delivery driver and breaking our backs moving boxes. Tomorrow we’ll fill you in on how it all went but for now wish us luck and look out Tooting Broadway – we’re coming! David & Mark x
Read MoreGoodbye number 8
Yesterday David waved goodbye to his flat in Northwood. The van came at 2 in the afternoon, loaded David’s boxes, suitcases and furniture and off it headed. Unfortunately we can’t move in to the new flat until next weekend so in the meantime we’re staying at Mark’s. Full of excitement of the new flat and…
Read MoreFeeling shifty
As our new pad is fully furnished, we now annoyingly have too much furniture. We both have our own beds and wardrobes which we now have to find a way to get rid of. The wardrobe proved to be an easy task and one which provided much needed stress release – a simple, flat pack…
