I think home ownership aspiration is built into the psyche of people here. I’m not sure why the Germans are so readily accepting of something the British would hate, that seems a bit odd to me, but if it’s working there a mindset change here might not be a bad thing.
Anyway, it does look like...
I’m not disagreeing with you.
That’s a trap a lot of people find themselves in. A few escape by fortunate virtue of family support or moving back in with mum and dad to save, but I honestly don’t know what you do without those sort of options.
It’s very frustrating that with high interest...
From a tenants perspective the removal of S21 gives security. Mostly it stops landlords evicting tenants who complain about perfectly justifiable things such as no heating or hot water for example. Many tenants put up with terrible conditions through fear of a simple S21 dropping through their...
S21 was abused dreadfully and needed addressing. I’m not sure anyone other than the most callous of landlords would’ve thought maintaining the status quo was a good thing.
I’m seeing both sides, the appalling situation your colleague found himself in and the less sympathetic but no less...
We’re already seeing the manifestation of the fear of the removal. Gove is realising it’s ridiculous to remove it without a balanced alternative and AR is heading down a blind alley if she does the same despite the good PR and intentions.
The surge in rental prices is already abundantly clear...
That’s such a perfect distance for an e-bike commute. With the electric assistance the difference in distance would be no issue whatsoever so the nicest and safest route would be the default setting for sure.
Thinking about it there’s someone in the club who struggles with the steep climbs and...
Some thoughts to a similar question from a few months ago:
A few months on from that I’d just add they are increasing in numbers all the while. A few of the diehards still scoff a bit at those going the e-bike route but to be honest, they’re swimming against a changing tide. Definitely...
Must admit was considering composite further down the line.
I seem to spend an awful lot of time with a bit of sandpaper in one hand and a brush in the other fannying around with sheds and fences and windows and stuff like that so the lure of upvc/composites etc is quite strong.
That’s a...
I used Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint. I think it was about £33 for 2.5L from Toolstation and used about 3.5L for the area shown below. Then standard Ronseal Fence Life for the fency bits and finished off with remnants of a tin of Little Greene masonry paint which the previous owners...
Thanks Machin.
Funnily enough jet washed it and painted it yesterday, just painting some surrounding brick areas with masonary paint now.
First impressions are very favourable. It’s not like a paint as we know it, just a much, much thinker version of a stain and does ‘look’ as though it...
It’s a situation more and more people are going to find themselves in. The lifespan of a car is likely to get shorter as more complex vehicles with sky high repair costs hit their uneconomical repair ceiling more quickly.
Five years is a real shocker though, but spending 30 grand on a Renault...
