Owning your own home

Most councils were pretty good at record keeping by 2003.

You’ll need to speak to building regs rather than planning and will probably have to visit the council’s offices, there’s also a chance it wasn’t built as the regs say anyway.

If it’s coming off, just take it off.

Why are people who BTL scum? Do you hate people for having money? Is that an ok thing to do? By that logic its equally ok to hate people for not having money?

Sauna first, then in you go.

A heated outdoor pool is a beautiful thing any time of year.

A day like today, for example.

God thats grim. Money, quite evidently can neither buy taste nor class.

Having money is fine but simultaneously screwing the economy (removing cash from useful circulation) and screwing people less fortunate than you (driving up rent, removing house from market, etc) is cunty.
You can’t blame people for playing a (legal) system that exists but you can criticise them and it.

Thanks - hole in the wall it is .
I didn't intend to remove the existing board and replace with sound proofing board but put the sound proofing board over the top.
I just need to know where the thinest/weakest points are.

removing cash from useful circulation

What is useful circulation?

Funky (but spendy). I want some. Louder music. Less annoyed neighbours. Winning.

So what would you suggest people with surplus capital and no retirement plans do? Burn their money? By that thinking buying any house is "cunty", why not give the money to a homeless person so they can pay rent on a place?

The vent in our kitchen provides useful circulation. Open windows too, I've heard are good for that.

Just remortgaged. Didn't get what we needed despite having 40% LTV. Turns out the banks get really nervous about childcare costs! Wankers!

If you stuck to wanking you wouldn't have that issue ;)

I thought, oh that's not too bad, just looks like a nice big house... then I saw the interior shots. Eeesh.

Can I do both?

Awww go on then, you've been good. Treat yourself. :)

Thats the plan - my noise v their noise = 2 winners :)

No, sorry - I can't remember exactly how long they took. I think it took a reasonably long time (like, a number of weeks).

I'll likely buy from them again for our upstairs later in the year if that's helpful.

There’s every chance it’s already acoustic board. Buildings regs defo required it in 2005 when I dicked about converting an old house to flats.

How fast can a sale be completed in?
It is possible we may sell to the same people we intend to buy from.

Still need surveys, land registry, etc. to be done.

We accepted an offer and an offer got accepted .. I guess its happening now.

Watch out @greenhell I am coming to raise the flat white index.

4-5 week’s if everyone is absolutely on it.

But mostly they’re not and it takes twice that.

Like not all cyclists jump red lights and not all black people can dance, not all landlords are cunts.

Well I'll find out if it is acoustic board when I cut a hole but even if it is it doesn't work very well .

So was the conclusions from the discussion a few pages ago that for survey, one should not top up the banks offering and and go for the basic valuation from them and a full fat independently? Would be a fair bit more expensive than topping up.

The right of having the security of owning the roof over your head should be available to everyone. A property shouldn't be considered an investment. There's plenty of other ways to invest why should the basic human right of a shelter be one of them. Its a big reason why we have a serious housing crisis in London and why we are in a massively over inflated bubble. Lets just hope it goes pop soon.
