Bill: I arrived in London with my wife in the late 1980s and obviously our first problem was to find a place to stay. For a while we stayed with a Polish landlady who worked for the British Museum. She was about to be married to Mr Black, a gentleman of very useful contacts in varied spheres of life. She was looking for a bigger property for herself and her future husband. She kept careful records of what she had seen and what the potential of property was. She knew so much about it that one could think that she was working for some company which dealt with buying and selling houses. She found a couple of houses which she and Mr Black thought had great potential and which were within our price range. They were also in a nice area and the right size for us. At her suggestion we looked at these properties to get the feel of the market. I think it would have taken us a long time to find something suitable that we could afford. You know I think we really landed on our feet when we stayed with her. 199 |
