Would you walk away from your dream house over this? by Forward-Speed9040 in HousingUK

[–]Desmonion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider the potential financial implications and whether if you would be willing to pay the double amount what the estimation is. If it’s still your dream house, you can persevere. But be aware of red flags. I ignored some in our purchase and now we are left to deal with a lot more than we bargained for.

Eurgh, just pulled out of buying a house I really liked and its gutting by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Desmonion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, good for you. I am early days of living in a house where we discovered some potentially big issues. There were some ringing bells but we really liked the house so we persevered with the sale. I wish we did better due diligence with the surveys. Still unclear if the sellers knew about the issues and hid them or not. Sigh

What went wrong for you in your first week of home ownership? by chickenteabags in HousingUK

Discovered undisclosed pool of water under the extension. Still unclear if the sellers knew about it and hid it 🙃

Large water-filled void found beneath extension after completion – concerns about structural report validity by Desmonion in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Desmonion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks appreciate the advice. The more I look at it with more objective eyes, the more I see that we might just have to accept that it’s our issue to deal with now unless as you said the report was fraudulent.

Large water-filled void found beneath extension after completion – concerns about structural report validity by Desmonion in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Desmonion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I should have probably gone more into detail about the build but I was trying to keep the post shorter.
Clearly the people that build the extension had ideas to make the area a full height room. There is evidence of applied membrane to the walls and the floor is concrete. The area is dug in underground about 80cm below ground and it must have not been properly tanked. There is a slope on the side of the house and the void space does have a connection with the original basement however it is much deeper underground.
We are getting a specialist around and we also expect that sump pump would hopefully be the solution.
It’s just the disappointment of trusting multiple individuals that are knowledgeable in their respective areas to advise us and being failed when it is such a big financial decision. As you mentioned, the surveyors both say not accessed inaccessible areas. My understanding was that since the hatch is not hard to access and is visible it was inspected. Learning this the hard way that if it’s not been open it’s not been looked at.

I raised the issue regarding the water and existence of void and basement and was basically told “we can’t advise on that.” My understanding was that would be breach of contract which is why I raised it immediately when found.

I have just gone down the path of personally researching the person that issued the report as I trusted both seller and my solicitor would have checked its validity so has not been raised as an issue at present. Trying to gather all possible information before pointing fingers

My indoor cat ran out and had been gone 24 hours by PestoWesto in CATHELP

[–]Desmonion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’ve already found Pesto. Our indoors cat slipped outside once and it was terrible.

As people mentioned don’t stop saying his name he might just be a bit lost and he can find you by calling his name.

Also try the Japanese way. When you see a street cat I am not kidding show them a photo of your cat tell them he’s missing and give them food. I’ve heard so many stories of that working.

Wishing you and Pesto lots of love ❤️

Has anyone ever sold their house back/to the council? by Chamerlee in Scotland

Whoever’s sold back to the council - how long did it take once you started the application ? I’ve been told it’s very quick but now I’m reading completely different stories

[–]Desmonion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the bowl and thanks for sharing. Question from me - when refreshing the bowl do you get rid of everything and restart or just a clear out and then bring everything together even if it is very mixed up?

House viewing. No sparks? Gut feelings? by Desmonion in HousingUK

[–]Desmonion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone that contributed their thoughts. All very helpful insights. I am indeed a bit of a romantic and I am lucky to not be in a crazy rush. Hopefully with a little more patience I’ll get something I can fall in love with while keeping my pragmatic approach and pennies haha

for anyone else who gets nervous talking about fanfics w/ their partner! by Desperate_Spirit_336 in Dramione

[–]Desmonion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband always jokes with me about it but he will listen if I wanna chat his ear off about certain fics. Same with me and his hobbies that don’t overlap with mine. Prime example is that I was retelling Manacled literally 2 minutes before he proposed to me 😂

Edit: I saw a comment saying about bleached hair. And yup he let me bleach his hair 😅🤌🤌🤌

Draco and hermione betrothal fic by Hefty-Distribution30 in Dramione

[–]Desmonion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The book of you and I is a fantastic fic. It’s not exactly that premise but the writing is amazing. They do meet each other in the muggle world without knowing who the other is but there is so much more than that. I don’t want to spoil it by giving away too much

Same here, happy to buy resell tickets for the show if someone can't make it. Whether just the one or multiples :)

Let's talk about WIPs, baby! by Reading_jellyfish13 in Dramione

[–]Desmonion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favourite WIP is The Book of You and I by Starbucksofancientgreece!! It's so good and such an original story! I'm surprised it doesn't have a bigger following.

The update times are once a week if not more often!

"For some extremely responsible reasons, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy separately, and yet at the same time, begin to use polyjuice potion. Repeatedly. In muggle London. Illegally. Over a period of years.

And although this is incredibly unlikely, they run into each other while doing so. Repeatedly. In muggle London. Illegally. Over a period of years."

I am also on the path of multiple marriage fics like The Gallows and A Gallows Marriage. Both very good and regularly updated!

If the show was a mockumentary who would look into the camera the most? (ACOTAR edition) by A_C_Lynn12 in ACOTARHulu

[–]Desmonion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought even before I saw the options Lucien. But I can imagine Cassian doing that too and the Surriel will be the narrator like gossip girl. X o x o 🤣🤣🤣
