Just gauging interest, would anyone be interested in a pair of Klipsch RP600-M speakers? One owner (me), looked after and in great condition.

Any mortgage experts here that can offer some advice - I'm wondering if there are any problems/pitfalls of applying for a mortgage with two different providers concurrently e.g. credit issues?

Been thinking about getting a pair of Flyknit Trainer resoled - what was the damage on these?

Yeah, loving the yellow one. Will definitely worn.

Friday Project:

Found these two Tags in the bottom of a draw at my folks - the stainless one was my Dad's first "proper" watch. That just needed a battery and it was running. As for og yellow one, looked like water damage to the movement, so found an old watch on ebay that had the same ETA quartz movement, and replaced it with that. Also needed to switch over the date wheel as the ebay watch was at 6. Bit more fiddly than I'd expected (very much my first attempt at something like this, cheap tools, and tiny springs and wheels popping out all over!). Lost one screw, but luckily had the other movement's spare. Finally got it put back together and bingo, working!

Anyway thought I'd share, as i thought it may interest some of you, and they're actually really nice to wear. Also have a bit of history, as my dad used to wear the stainless one 24/7, and as you can see is battered.

Good luck! X

I'm stuck in a chain where both our buyer and sellers are using them. Things have come to a grinding halt. We were days away from exchange.

Lots of complaints on their Twitter feed and has been reported by the press, including the BBC and the Mirror.

Latest update from their regulator: https://www.clc-uk.org/information-for-clients-of-premier-property-lawyers-js-law-dc-law-and-advantage-property-lawyers/

Doesn't sound hugely promising. Complete nightmare. Appreciate a cyber attack may be difficult to resolve, but their comms have been terrible.

Feeling pretty stressed about the whole thing, our mortgage offer is due to expire in Jan.

I may suggest the seller gets a structural engineer to check this, and if they don't want to then I may ask for some money of so I can get this done if/once we complete...

Attached is from our survey, and I asked them what they thought about the work, and although fairly non committal thought it was probably ok, there were no signs to suggest otherwise.

As you can see, it's the first floor bedroom and only removed from the floor to where you can see in the photo.

@TW @Howard @aggi, thanks your responses.

Yep, I know the indemnity doesn't cover me for unsafe/inappropriate work, I guess this is a risk I'll have to weigh up, and as Howard says may be a good opportunity to knock some money off for the potential remedial costs.

I've now spoken with my solicitor, who quite rightly seemed surprised (and maybe embarrassed that it was me who had to bring it to his attention - surely this is something they should have checked for?!) He's gone back with the following;

Further to the above matter, we attach details of an application that your client has made this year for retrospective Building Regulation consent.

1. Please provide full details and a copy of the application.
   
2. Why was the application withdrawn?
   
3. Why did your client confirm that the alterations took place in 2005 when it is clear that the chimney breast was removed in 2020?
   
4. Why was the application not disclosed in 3.1 of the property information form and details of the works not disclosed in 4.1 of the property information form?
   
5. Have details of the application been disclosed to the insurers when requesting the draft policy? Please provide a copy of your correspondence with the insurers when requesting the indemnity policy.
   
6. You will of course note that the policy is conditional on works being completed at least 12 months ago and that no application has been made to obtain retrospective consent. We await your comments.
   
   

So I guess we wait and see what they come back with and go from there - although my guess it'll be something along the lines of "sorry guv we made a mistake".

Tbh, I was hoping to just ignore the fact I'd seen the application and hope I'm covered by someone else's lack of due diligence/misrepresentation...
