After all the hassle to get the flat, when everything seems to be sorted out and cannot really back-off as have put all my money and a whole lot more into this, turns out the flat I'm buying is in a Camden council declared 'car-free zone' and they will not issue me with a resident's parking permit. This is major major hassle and apparently there is no appeal. The only thing I seem to be able to do is to rent somebody's drive -combat_kitten graciously sent me link to some people who do this locally, but they're a mile or so away from my flat, so I need to try and find something closer before going to these. It is also an expensive solution for a problem that shouldn't be there in the first place, I already live in the same parking 'zone' as the new flat. Any ideas, anybody? I'm afraid I'm not in a spirit for jokes today with this, be warned. Also waiting to see what next hassle or insurmountable obstacle turns up in this story...
