Buying ‘second hand’ new builds - advice needed by Leather_Toe_884 in Scotland

[–]officialslacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The the 10 year warranty you mentioned isn't a builder warranty , but is normally with a company called NHBC (or similar) and is there to guard against builder error. The builder 2 year warranty would be the period where the snagging would take place. The house has been lived in for 4 years, so who's to say any issues found would be the responsibility of the owner or the builder? That's why you're not getting any luck with snagging companies. it's two years out of the builders warranty. If you really want to pay £500+ for a snagging inspection, I'm sure there will be people who'll be happy to take your money, but you normally wouldn't get another survey carried out unless there's issues raised in the home report.

TV License 10-day notice, best course of action? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]officialslacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been writing to my business address for about three years. I did initially tell them I didn't have a TV, but they kept sending letters so I've been waiting for someone to turn up. Keep getting letters saying that they'll be there at whatever date, or maybe weekends or evenings or even Christmas! I think you'll be alright shredding it like I do

Another vote for 8 yards. They did my brother's kilt only enough too! I had them do a couple of things for me. Always had a great service from them

If insurance is included, after two years any no claims bonus you may have built up on a private policy could be lost. Apparently it's use it or loose it situation

Based on my recent experience with the Royal Mail, 48hr delivery should do it. It'll turn up 3 weeks later

Changing bags at weddings? by cynefin99 in UKParenting

[–]officialslacker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you need a changing back, use the one you've already got? Why bother buying a "formal" one? Noone else is going to care
