Owning your own home

They're still a complete bunch of cunts

Seconded (though I know some people in this thread have had good things to say)

Seems like it’s not enforceable at all.

A quote “some people can’t afford them” well fuckin take it off the money you’re selling the house for or fit them as it says in the home report you fuckin cunts

Also unsurprisingly my solicitor is a fuckin imbecile and she has the rudest cunt going working for her which I’ve bit my lip on but once I’m over the line I’m gonna roast the cunt and find another.

100% it’s not enforceable. If you need a recommendation for a conveyancer in the future, and Glasgow based, I’ll give you the details for who we’ve used the past 3 sales. She’s great.

Good luck!

Another pointless thing from that waste of space Holyrood.

We had a brilliant solicitor who retired, and now your back to hunt absolute useless cunts who think they are doing you a favour as if we’re in Italy.

I repeated this in my head in a strong Glasgow accent and it sounds scary

where you looking?

Place in Chingford on Beresford road

Beresford road

Nice street, close to me though!

Honest they charge you a fortune and make it out like you're doing them the favour, just winds me up.

That would be attack first ask questions later... Absolute fuckin balloon

I think I'm too cynical. My first thought on that thread is that it's fiction to whore reddit kudos (or whatever the fuck it's called).

Sounds fake tbqf

I'm looking to get a couple of removers quotes for moving house this summer.

Has anyone got any recent recommendations that they'd feel comfortable to share. I'm moving from / to West London.

Never used them myself but my downstairs neighbour runs https://www.bigredremovals.com/ which are based in Wandsworth/Battersea.

Roberts and Denny’s were good. Moved us from a 3rd storey flat to a house up a flight of stairs, all in about 7 hours, including dismantling / re-mantling wardrobes etc

Any recommendations for someone to do conveyancing on a flat purchase, Tooting / Colliers Way if that makes a difference?
Also after someone to do a survey, it’s not an old place in a small block and the vendor bought it six years ago and shared her survey so don’t think it needs a massive report.

Brilliant - I've contacted them and red removals from @Greenbank - thanks both

I've used Wildetrice twice for previous moves and been happy with them. I am using them again for the move I'm currently doing. Genuinely no idea how their pricing is compared to others.

Any forum recommended outdoor parasol or shade solution for a South facing patio?

Put a cheeky offer in on a place on Friday, fully expecting it to get binned but just being able to find a place worth putting an off on feels good.

Been looking for a place since November but with serious intent from January, we're looking for a house in a really specific area in an apartment city and it's horrible. The houses that are coming on to the market are either insanely expensive, a money pit or both.

Place we put an offer on is a new build, never thought I'd fancy a new build but the living space is better than anything we've seen and is in a great location, stamp duty on new builds is around 2% instead of 8% over here which is also a massive problem in us affording some of the other places on offer.

Not sure of my Mrs can negotiate this one but I long for the day that I'm not constantly scrolling property sites.

Any recommendations for magnetic filters for Combi boilers? Any brands to avoid? I was surprised it wasn't fitted already, hoping to get it added during annual service to minimise back and forth

Our neighbours and I share a really shitty old garden wall at the front out our houses.

Neighbour A wants to re-do his garden, and part of this is taking down his entire old wall and his half of the portion we share and replacing it with red brick (which is silly, as the design intention of the wall was to use sandstone as per 80% of the house, with red brick reserved for the front of the house but, details, that become important later on).

As the wall is Party, it's, ugh, a party wall. Now, last year, we agreed we'd all get this done together as the existing wall is old and shitty and in one of us doing it alone the others will be weakened.

But because neighbour A has found a way of getting it done quickly and cheaply, but only his bit of it, I now have a job to do to make sure he's not going to make our lives difficult in the not too distant future.

He hasn't served me a Party Wall notice or given me specific detail about how in doing this work, he won't inflict cost on me down the line (i.e. two weeks after the work our portion of the wall collapses). He wants us to a) agree and b) decide with him where the existing wall should be cleaved in two with a stone cutter.

Personally I don't think the existing will survive being cut in two with a stone cutter.

I'm not sure what I'm asking here, except, i) should I feel as pissed off as I do when I think about it and ii) what do I do now? I don't want to make their lives difficult but I don't want to feel like I've been mugged off when our wall collapses three months down the line thanks to their shitty work.

I want to suggest to them, that to make this easy, they should take all of the joined wall down and rebuild it, their side and ours, at their cost. But of course they are doing it in red brick, which I think is dumb. Material, disposal and labour cost for this wouldn't be too wild though.

But because neighbour A has found a way of getting it done quickly and cheaply, but only his bit of it,

How exactly? And any reason you can't jump on it too?

If a trade is already on site, it seems unlikely they will turn down low effort money.

How exactly? And any reason you can't jump on it too?

His 'buddy's brother in law' is doing it - they are a bricky apparently. And no, they don't want to do ours too presumably because they are creaming it off contracts elsewhere and squishing this in inbetween.

I know it's 'just' a garden wall, but I'd rather have someone local do it tbh.
