I did the survey and can confirm this to be correct.

All flippancy aside LSN, it does really look like you're being royally f*cked about. What does the agent say in all this? Everything you've described feels like a buyer who's probably having serious doubts about proceeding. Spike's probably right - it needs to be back on the market now. It'll flush ...

Wants to come round with another roofer.

Fucks sake. Set a f*cking deadline and tell the agent to get it back on the market.

If foreign investors can make a return out of build to rent projects, why can't local authorities / central government just cut out the middle men (and dividends) and finance the projects themselves? The returns could fund services. Dunners has already replied on much of this but another aspect is ...

As I said, the plan (for now) is to do that too. But they also want to repeal Right to Buy first, which makes sense. I've never really had any objection to right to buy so long as another property is built in its place. Why should people literally pay for a property and then not get to own it? Ther...

Yep. Tipped the balance for me as well.

They basically want me to pay for all these surveys though, which aint right. Prepared to get the roof tiles fixed, maybe the window. BTW roof tiles and a window are minor things - if they seriously want them fixed then my instinct is they’re just f*cking about trying to nip a few grand off. My hou...

At the moment I feel that its f*cked and this deal is over. I think the buyer expects a perfect property handed over to them. Wants a whole new list of things checked or repaired before exchange of contract gas plumbing water electricity roof wood burner misted window Sadly, they sound like complet...

Wants us to wait a week for someone to come out for the five second job of checking if the floor is suspended wood or solid. Mad right? As per other advice tell 'em to get on with it or f*** off. Tell them You've got a related purchase and further delays will put that at risk. Worst thing that can ...

Been through 3 rounds of interviews and have just been offered the job. Although the title is the same as my current role it’s a slight step up in responsibilities which obviously has its risks, however I think I can rise to the challenge. They’ve also offered me a decent increase on my current sal...

The Grand Tour: One For The Road Clarkson, Hammond and May go through the motions, with a drive across Zimbabwe. There's nothing new here (car modifications, crossing a body of water, pretending that they are fixing cars and not the mechanical crew once the cameras stop rolling, forced banter etc)....

The buyer of our house had a survey but now wants a bunch of further ' specialist' surveys or quotes done, with a view to knocking down the price i presume. They sent a roofer round who didnt really even know why he'd been sent. Should I allow this? What exactly do they want surveyed? Structural su...

Must have been FTC then. Obvs this thread is locked so you can't reply but unless you're referring to previous issues we've had with Phoenix FM I've not deleted anything from here in quite a while. LSN's correct in saying that everyone bears responsibility for what they post. See link below. https:...

I see Ollie Palmer scored for Wrexham on Saturday. Didn't realise he was still there.

Yep. Same plan here. Filling the time with Fargo instead. Not sure how that ever escaped me.

Slow horses series 4. Pissed off that it’s only being dropped weekly.

Guardian article on Letby's confession notes.

As an on-off smoker, can't say I care either way. But surely there's other things to be focusing on? The leading cause of preventable death isn’t important? Of course it is - but if the government seriously wants to deal with the issue then do something more weighty than just banning it in certain ...

Thought this article dispelled some of the rising hysteria around this conviction https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c39k44n8j1mo Seems like a few flaws in a big pile of evidence and this is an investigation that was years long. Letby's only witness was a plumber. He maybe only a plumber, but his ...

F*ck me. Far too complicated.

Dawning realisation that for most of this week every radio station’s going to wheeling out the musical crime that is wonderwall.

Bollocks.
