Tony & Sheila Shaw For Dinner At Clanricarde Gardens, 13 February 1999

Dumbo latterly shows off my pad in Clanricrde Gardens

I rented my flat in Clanricarde Gardens between 1988 and 1999. The story of me finding the flat is writ – click here or below:

I was on very good terms with the owners, Tony & Sheila Shaw. They also very much took to Janie.

By early 1999 I had decided that it was time for me to buy a flat and that I would buy one very much like the flat I was renting from Tony & Sheila…if not, that very one.

We invited Tony & Sheila around for dinner and I told them of my plans.

Tony & Sheila told me that they half expected to be hearing that news and that they wondered whether I might wish to buy that flat from them.

Hence we hatched a plan to get a few independent valuations, average them and transact privately…

…which we did.

Simples.
