Why does it need to be local? I'm in France, my tax accountant's in Blackpool. Works perfectly for my medium sized portfolio...

Ahah! That'll explain why I couldn't find anything on YouTube to illustrate for JK0!

I bet you don't attempt to emulate Clarkson...?! What's the typical profile of your tenants? I'd be installing a disposable £30 one from supermarket tbh.

Much the best finish for old buildings would always be something lime based. From my memory of UK available products, the easiest you can purchase 'ready-made' would be the casein distemper from...

That Brabantia style is one I used to use many years ago over my own bath. Worked perfectly.

Indeed it was - thanks JK0 - terrific start to a glorious Sunny Sunday here in France!

Mine charges me a fixed fee per property, then ad-hoc charges on top of that should it be required for anything over and above normal run of things.

This is my intuitive response also... I moved temporarily into one of my flats to renovate some time ago. Long-standing, excellent tenant in flat above whom I had met a while previously so he knew...

My thought is that there's probably been furniture up against that corner so not allowing adequate air circulation. I had same in an apartment bedroom where bed was pushed up against one corner,...

Exactly - which is why I shopped around last renewal - for to have an excess at around two thirds the value of the house is kind of nuts...

Gotta laugh haven't you?!

I think I might be a bit old to remember what that was... :(blush):

Might it be covered under any possible NHBC guarantee - years 3-10 here...

Fond memories of his idiotic humour... am home nursing flu at moment and having coughing fits trying not to laugh :(giggle):

Maybe Obama's version of B-Force cuts...?



where's my coat?

About eighteen months ago I wrote a piece - a sort of 'wish-list' if you like, of how I wanted my next partner/relationship to be. Not (for me anyway - other may wish to do so) a list of physical...

My portfolio's a challenging one - mix of HB, dodgy areas, couple of high claims in past 3 years resulting in excesses of £10k on them both. I was having trouble finding an alternative to original...

I use this broker...

Sorry Peter - wasn't specific enough - but seems that men are being discriminated against - or am I reading the above quote from the notes wrongly?! Why might a man (or father) not be a dependent...

Helpsheet makes for interesting reading - thanks! This bit has me confused by the apparent sex discrimination though... and the apparent discrimination between women (mothers) who have been married,...

Mine are too....

How about a thin strip of a bicycle inner tube cut to length and glued underneath...?

I confess I was considering (c) in post 105 and relative strength... :(blush):
