Don’t worry – I’m still selling and renting property in East London! But a former client of mine has embarked on a very exciting house building project in Osaka, and I’ve been avidly following his blog and reading about all the developments. Tom and I first met in 2010 when he was buying a flat […]
The majority of developers building property in East London today are keenly aware that people like natural light in their homes. Lots of new build property is benefiting from this “trend” but if you’re selling a property that’s older, or one that features a basement conversion, you may well have at least one room that […]
With more people now renting than owning their homes, rental properties are in demand. Not only that, but the London property market continues to grow steadily, making London property a relatively sound investment. If you have the spare capital to put down a deposit on a property other than your home, now could be a […]
The longer we live somewhere, the more stuff we accumulate. Some of it is probably useful, some of it may have strong sentimental value. But when you’re selling your home, an excess of possessions simply becomes clutter. Clutter, however much loved, creates the impression that the property is too small and there’s nowhere to put […]
We all love where we live once we’ve got used to it, and many of us feel great affection for former addresses. But it’s unlikely that you’re going to find an area that will be exactly the right place for you to live your whole life. Sooner or later, you are going to have to […]

I am absolutely delighted to announce that Dockleys has won a British Property Award for the second year running, receiving gold in the E1 Local Lettings Category. As we’ve only been in business for two years, this means we’ve been offering an award-winning service from the word go – we’re thrilled this has been publicly […]
If you’re new to being a landlord, the list of documentation and certificates you need for your property may seem bewildering, expensive, or both! But let me reassure you – all the documentation is surprisingly easy to organise and is also cheaper than the consequences of not having the right paperwork in place. Some documents […]
Festival season has started! People in the East End have their very own festival right on their doorsteps. No camping, no mud (!), just a great atmosphere and some great music. All Points East takes place in Victoria Park between Saturday 24 May and Sunday 2 June 2019. Day tickets are still available to buy […]
Renting a house with friends is a great idea, particularly in London where rents can be higher than in the rest of the country. It can be a good way of making your income go further, helping you save money for a deposit once you’re ready to buy a house. But, as you know if […]
