Owning your own home

Stow Bros?

You didn't tell me all this! Just reminded myself of the agent... nope.

Also my Dad went home at 1pm on a Friday for about 40 years before he retired.

That’s some massive house!

It was a massive, manky hole, still is in a lot of places. And it's in Thornton Heath, not like you Catford Golf Clubbists.

Wood fibre seems best

What Stevo said - some PVA wood glue in there (GENTLY open the damage to get the glue in deep), then masking tape or clamp it, wipe off excess straight away, and inspect in a few hours when the glue has gone off. Possible filling/sanding/staining or other finishing etc. required at that stage but it might be almost invisible.

Cheers will crack on with that and see how it goes!

I've started getting IG ads for a Catford-based pebbledash removal company. I don't even live in London, so I can only assume that they've set the audience up based on visitors to this thread

Not based on anything on this website, no.

There is no tracking of any kind on LFGSS.

But... if you visited links from this site, then the sites that you visited will probably track whatever you're looking at in about 10-20 different ways and with multiple advert providers. If you did it on a mobile phone then the chance of Facebook knowing what you looked at after looking at this site is extremely high.

The vast majority of web sites track you, but this one does not.

it was just a joke about the power of the thread & the regular virtue-extoling of catford, dont worry I know you keep it tidy round here data wise!

catford mafia are in ur cookies like

the regular virtue-extoling of catford

@6pt 's work here is done. Take a bow.

you should move to catford

A decade of my life well spent, but now the tables have now turned and I want fewer horrible DFL types moving to my vicinity.

moving to my vicinity.

where is this?

Beckenham

Doesn’t have to be on day of exchange, could be after survey or any other point tbh

Later the better I imagine if you're going into it planning to do that. Wait till they're fully commited and can't back out without their own expense / inconvenience.

Agent claims there was a genuine error of communication, and that viewers shouldn't have been told it was bafo on Monday. Also that there are four higher offers than us. Lol.

Don't expect them to leave the lightbulbs tho

And check the lawn for frozen sausages

Yep you also want to make sure your mortgage agreement is for the amount you plan to reduce your offer by

The first time we put an offer in the agent said there would be 2 rounds of offers, I asked them if anyone else in the inital round was chain free, they said to me with a straight face:

"I cannot disclose the details of the other offers, but I can tell you that I have personally recieved one chain free offer"

Yes you dolt, that was me when we spoke earlier...

Maybe they'd take one of your many Geekhouses to sweeten the deal?

if exchange and completion are likely going to be on the same day (a week friday if all things go to plan!) - when should I sort out buildings insurance? on the day? day before?

You can set it to start whenever you fancy but I’ve always gone it for the day
