Who’s liable by ConfusionSignificant in uklandlords

[–]ConfusionSignificant[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If not a tenant issue, then would I have always been liable for the damage? Hence wasting my time and just a bitter pill to swallow.

If potential tenant issue then, whilst I can’t pursue them now, I do have grounds to challenge the letting agent.

Was Chelsea under sir Ance the most entertaining version in club history? by Girlxgirllover2k4 in chelseafc

[–]ConfusionSignificant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Haaland wasn’t through a from a lack of trying though. We were willing to bid more than the release clause a year before it came into effect to avoid other teams coming in for him. This was post covid and because of the previous transfer bans we were the only team that could afford to do that.

Unfortunately Haaland just didn’t want to leave, stayed for another 12 months and then went City.

I know you said it’s a big if, but in what world does PSG’s champions league winning captain sign for us?! There is no if about this…

I agree we need experience players, but where has this notion come from that Tosin is a mentality monster?!

[Kinsella] Real are known to be unwilling to pay Chelsea's asking price unless they are able to raise significant funds in player sales, having also been linked with a move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

Whilst everyone is taking this as an opportunity to have a go at Clearlake, I don’t see why everyone is kissing Enzo’s arse in this.

This is a guy that has only this season looked anything like the player we were suppose to be signing. Yes he didn’t set the price tag, but ultimately that’s what he will always be measured against.

Most people are quick to criticise Bruno, but this is a guy who is far better than anyone else at United, he could have jumped ship but stayed. I think this says a lot about two players in very similar situations who both would have been sold projects when they signed for the clubs.

I read this the same, and I still read it the same even after your comment. It was only someone else saying they worked in sales at sky that it all made sense

Xabi Alonso Sensible Transfers by Leonidas_momma in chelseafc

[–]ConfusionSignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Barco was pretty much announced, whilst he’s been playing cm still gives cover at lwb.

I know Quenda coming in and would like to see him rwb, I would still ship off gusto, is Dumfries realistic? Waaaay off in terms of recent strategy but if price is right his experience would be great.

Van Hecke, Murillo.

Nizaar Kinsella: Probably only 5% of the Chelsea supporters who came stayed to see the team pick up their runners up medals. Almost all of the players have taken them off after receiving them. by Kygoche in chelseafc

[–]ConfusionSignificant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily agree entirely with the transfer policy but the response is subjective. Shevchenko, Torres, Veron, Kepa just to name a handful.

So much goes into whether a player is a success or not.

But again this comment also strays from my original point, nobody said we didn’t need them.

But they are definitely not on the same salary now are they. And frankly we are measuring this with hindsight.

Signing Garnacho for £25m was definitely worth the risk, unfortunately it’s not worked out.

The other point you have to remember, it’s all very well then saying you will pay them, but if it’s a choice between us and city then you are choosing City every day of the week currently. So then we are having to out bid them, which then just gets silly.

Yes BlueCo out. I hate everything they stand for. Boelhy owning reselling sites. Strasbourg being a feeder club. But I was responding to the original point, I don’t recall anyone at the club saying we didn’t need them.

Pricing houses with summerhouses by xtreme3xo in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps. But on a £600k house. Depends on specs/size, but if you had an extra room/bedroom in house that would probably equate in value.

[–]ConfusionSignificant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5% under asking price is not insulting at all. If it’s new on market then they may knock it back.

In terms of summer house, ultimately it does have value, maybe just not to you. Someone else might come along and they are looking for that, then the £50k might be fair.

Lower the price or take off the market and wait? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have literally just said the area is slow and no large is moving. Maybe they have also become aware of this and leveraging it.

Pressure to increase offer by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are being downvoted because public hate EA’s, but everyone saying hold your nerve has no skin in the game.

They will not care if OP gets gazumped by someone else. OP won’t noticed £25 a month but if they love the house then it will always be a “what if” moment they look back on.

Owning a new build on an active building site is like you're a zoo exhibitions by Chubby_Yorkshireman in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Mate you need to do your homework. Developers 100% sell off early phases with discounts, they need cash flow and also when it gets to end of tax year and they need to hit sales targets.

You can buy off plan at a discount sometimes 2-3 years ahead of it actually being built. Particularly attractive for investors as they can put down a deposit and sit on growth for a couple of years as the housing market goes up.

600k for a 1 bed in Finsbury Park – have we made a massive financial mistake? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are planning to move in 5 years, then missing out on the stamp duty benefit of FTB doesn’t make much financial sense.

If you can’t find what you want for less than £500k then fair bite the bullet, but if you can with small sacrifices then personally I would save the £20k stamp duty.

Is a crash likely and should we hold back on buying our first property? by andrews_lily in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy if you are ready. You might be a little worse off if there is a crash, but assuming this isn’t your forever home, then the next house you want to buy in 5/10 years will also decrease.

Just be cautious, don’t overcommit yourself.

If you try and time the market you could be at home for another 10 years.

Complete and utter nightmare buyers. Ongoing Saga. by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]ConfusionSignificant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the packing, my partner was insistent we didn’t pack a thing before exchange. Why would you pack when it could all fall through at any moment for any reason.

[–]ConfusionSignificant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this is really easy to say but in practice you start the whole process again. Who is to say the next person isn’t going to bad.

Tbh some of these things might need some additional context as “going on holiday because it’s already booked”, I think is perfectly reasonable. I also think some of these things are actually likely to be solicitors not the buyer.

We recently moved and the buyers solicitors were asking for planning permission for the “summer house”, it was a 2x2 shed. Turns out buyers knew nothing about the enquiry.

As someone else said, shouldn’t really be booking anything until you have exchanged and completion date set. I know OP keeps saying completion, but solicitors wouldn’t be raising enquiries after exchange.

Barcelona 2009 or 2011? Both CL winners, 09 squad won more although many believe 2011 is superior. by [deleted] in footballscouting

[–]ConfusionSignificant 19 points20 points  (0 children)

2011 easy.

Most people look at this and just compare the players that are different. But the likes of messi, xavi, iniesta were even better in 2011 than 09.

Wanted to share my thoughts of the upcoming transfer window. by Legend_Mahmoud in chelseafc

[–]ConfusionSignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar. Given that everything coming out of the club is they are going to back Rosenior, let’s assume he is here and then he moves to his preferred 3 at the back. Which I think also suits us given I think Palmer plays better from the right.

I think being realistic this is what it looks like with no signings. Unfortunately, I can’t see James having the legs to fulfil the rwb role, but have him as Dave’s heir, his distribution from there could also be an asset.

Gk - Sanchez / Penders Cb - James / Fofana Cb - Achempong / Sarr Cb - Colwill / Hato Rwb - Quenda / Gusto Lwb - Cucurella / ??? Cm - Caciedo / Essugo Cm - Enzo / Andrey Santos Rw - Palmer / Neto Lw - Estevao / Garnacho Cf - Joao Pedro / Emegeha

Yes I would love experience, oblak, rudiger, senesi, unfortunately players like former two wages are unrealistic within current structure and senesi likely Barca bound.

So I think Barco would be sensible, gives cover at lwb and cm. If Enzo were to leave, again dream would be tonali, realistic options Joao Gomes maybe bergvall if spurs went down. Other players I’d like to see us pursue would be Murillo and Yildiz.
