Someone crashed into my wall Somebody crashed into my wall and has caused quite a bit of damage , the car was stolen - damage seems relatively extensive and contractors won't work on it , they have said a structural evaluation is required -- i can't use the home insurance for the assesment or whatever it is and I can't get a quote for the work until the assesment is done . In a bit of a muddle…
We’re close to exchanging on our house sale and flat purchase, and me and my wife are having some serious doubts about the flat. Yesterday alone, I think we changed our minds about 47 times 😂 I think I’m partly looking for advice, but if I’m honest, I might just be trying to get all of my thoughts down in one place. Background We’ve been wanting to move to Sevenoaks, Kent or the surrounding areas…
We put our 2 bed flat up for sale in June. It’s roomy, we’re a block of 4 flats, own garden, garage & parking. The bathroom could do with modernisation but everything else is fresh. We’re in a decent area too (outskirts of Bournemouth). We originally put it up at £250k, knowing that was quite high. We then dropped it to £240k a couple weeks later. £240k was always our cut off, we can’t afford to…

Hi all I live in London and landlord reached out 2 months ago to agree a rent increase with us. I pointed out on email that I believe market rent was X and this was X + £300. I offered X + £200 provided they fixed our front gate which when we viewed the property at first / agreed to rent was functional. They agreed to X + £200 and said they would either repair or replace said gate. They also…
We are first time buyers, found a home we love and put an offer on it back in May which was accepted. The chain is us, the sellers of the house, and then the sellers are moving to a new build property. They are doing this through some kind of part exchange/assisted purchase agreement with the developers of the new build. We were initially told it would be a fast turnaround and we needed to get…
Hi everyone! I’m wondering where I stand on estate agents saying that certain contents/fixtures are included when they’re not. Specifically, the listing states “EV charger”, “High quality CCTV monitoring system”, “Including integrated fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher” and “premium fitted gym equipment”. All of which it now turns out the seller is taking with them. Dishwasher and…

My partner and I have offered on an older property in the North of England with a septic tank. We had an L3 survey done which highlighted the septic tank as an unknown risk, contingency of £15-20k if it goes wrong on day 1, but no indication of failure. Pre-1990 install, so at end of life, but upgraded in 2020 to meet new requirements according to the TA6. Have not seen docs yet. We’ve just heard…
As the title says. How long did it take to save and how old were you? I feel like I'm old buying my first house at 37. submitted by /u/WednesdayGloom [link] [comments]
