I can’t help but feel excited at the new buildings springing up all over East London. The capital’s skyline has changed so much over the last ten years, with new tall office buildings springing up in the City, and residential and mixed-use developments arriving across the East End. Living in a tall building isn’t for […]
If you’re new to renting, you might be surprised to hear that your home is going to be inspected every six months. In fact, property inspections are a standard procedure listed in the tenancy agreement. They’re a great way of keeping communication open between landlords, tenants and estate agents. They protect the interests of landlords […]
A lot of people rent property in London – in fact, the balance recently tipped for the first time in about eighty years, and now more people rent their homes than own them. This means that there are a lot of people living in flats with magnolia walls and slightly utilitarian furniture, and I’d be […]
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 […]

Chances are it will be cheaper and less stressful in the long run – here’s why: It’s probably cheaper Time […]
When I was first selling property a decade or so ago, internet property searches were in their infancy and social media hadn’t even been invented. But times have changed, and like many East London estate agents, I’m finding that social media is a great tool for selling property. Here’s why…. Social media is a cost-effective […]
Dockleys have recently been given the opportunity to sell units in Douro Place, a new development in Bow, E3. Unlike many new build developments, Douro Place is made up of houses, flats and duplexes, each one different. I’ve found that selling units in a boutique development makes a refreshing change!
