I'm fine with the next 5-10 years of Labour or Green\Dems coalition.

Perhaps in the future we'll have some decent, younger conservatives come through.

Zero investigative work or objective thinking, they just run around making decisions based on their own prejudices.

A couple of pods ago someone put in a really good question about Joe falling out with charlamagne and the two of them building black business together. Joe's response was just "fuck charlamagne, i'm not doing all that shit"

Not a great answer to someone paying $600 a year in subscriptions imo and even worse promo for anyone thinking to upgrade to that tier.

If you just want to cover the basics and have no interest in luxuries then I would pick a trade job (plumber, electrician etc).

There is always work available and at some point you can work for yourself which frees you from the 9-5 life.

The seller accepted the offer, the agent put the sold sign up.

Then either the buyer saw sense before exchanging contacts and pulled out or the bank did a valuation on the property for the full mortgage application and was like "lol, it's not worth all that mate"

Technically yes, rule 7.

We're trying to go easier on some rules but it doesn't help when 12 people post the exact same thing.

Check what other houses are going for in your area, if everyone else has sold at around 250k then its obvious no one will even view yours at 290k.

The first day when you walk in and shut door...that feeling is amazing. All of it is yours.

The first night I had to sleep on the floor because the bed didn't arrive but it all felt like one big adventure. After years of landlords telling you what you can and cant do, you finally feel FREE.

You'll definitely spend an ungodly amount of time in B&Q, Homebase, Dunelm and B&M. Also, you will quickly learn to fix things yourself with the help of youtube and when you get it right the satisfaction is overwhelming.

Homeownership is like having a little piece of the world all to yourself.

No matter what anyone says you can't overplan for it, there is soo much to do, then when you move in so much more.

I would say be professional, make the meeting but take your sweet time going back home.

In the telecoms industry you'd be surprised just how many different people know each other, the last thing you need is your name being dragged through the mud by both a former company and client.

After this event just go into super low power mode until you leave.

It's the 3rd exit so:

Either:

Lane 2 -> 4 -> 8

or

Lane 2 -> 5 -> 9

If I had never been there before i would take the 2-5-9 and hope whoever is in lane 4 is not a muppet.

Any more of this and you'll be taking a few posts off.

If you dislike something, that's fine. But don't be insulting people, especially people that actually contribute content to the sub.

Keep up the good work Dennis.

I can't believe these dogs aren't banned.

Bully XL's will only be banned if people write to and request their MP's put forward a proposal in parliment to update to the Dangerous Dogs Act.

Joe should add it to the laptop jingles, it should be their calm down track after any heated debate https://youtu.be/M5Z9-QCmZyw?t=66

Usual tory distraction and deflection tactic - People are angry about the COST of rent not that they can be evicted.

He's a kid and looks terrified, i'm pretty sure he wasn't really about that life.

The thing about the inner cities is young people easily become products of their environments.

Your contribution to the sinking fund is taken automatically from within your service charge. Think of it like a piggy bank for your block.

Lets say there is 600k in there and a replacement roof costs 1 million, that means the management company will still need 400k to cover the cost. That remaining cost is split between all the leaseholder flats in the building.

If you want to save money separately then there's no stopping you. All it means is you will be better prepared for that bill (or will less likely need to arrange a payment plan to cover it).

I would caution against anyone buying ex-council as there is so much more you are liable for than just your block. Many of the shared areas of old council estates come under your lease like playgrounds, grass areas and even some access roads, paths and paving.

The management company should have a sinking fund for major works. Check your service charge statement, a portion of that service charge should be going into this fund.

Routine repairs and regular maintenance should NOT be coming out of the sinking fund, things like lights, lifts, doors, fire safety and bins are itemised separately in your service charge.

If there is no sinking fund for major works (or it has been depleted) then at some point in the future you will get a very large bill when something like the building roof needs replacing. It's an unlikely event in newer build flats but could still happen.
