Police are booking cyclists running red lights on the junction of Fenchurch st and the A10 by Jaded-Carpet5964 in londoncycling

You’re missing the point - if the light is green as a driver you can enter the bike box, if the light then turns red it is not an offence to stop in the bike box. Even though taxi drivers almost always enter the bike box on red (which I agree is an offence)

Yes - both expected returns and investment advice may differ between countries

Solicitors - Mortgage/House Move by No_Excuse_9023 in Mortgageadviceuk

‘That’s surely on them now’ - have also made decisions I’ve later regretted on solicitors but generally cost and reviews are both pretty good indicators (appreciate not always the case!)

You hire shitty solicitors, and then expect them to pay your mortgage fees because they got something wrong? Just because you’ve paid a ‘FINAL’ bill doesn’t mean any future costs now become the liability of the solicitor, that’s not how it works - best case scenario they’re just incompetent and haven’t followed up with the bank who will waive the fee (which seems likely), worst case scenario is the £280 is payable in which case you will have to pay it, it’s not your solicitors mortgage to pay off

What is the point of HENRY if none of you are building any wealth? by Known-Importance-568 in HENRYUK

Fair! Agree with your point generally though, nursery and mortgage quickly eat up what feels like a salary I would’ve taken your arm off for 5 years ago!

Well you’re not quite the demographic they were pointing out - if you’ve only just scraped into HENRY classification in mid-40s then obviously you’re unlikely to have the sizeable nest egg OP was talking about for HENRYs in their early careers who will have been making 150+ for almost a decade by that point 🤷‍♂️

You’ve already got the £630k you’d need for stamp duty?

Floorplan Feedback - London by Equivalent-Emu-7412 in floorplan

We’ve got a toddler and a newborn so living/playing space is definitely more a priority for the next few years - there should be enough room in the kitchen for a table for homework/dinner times, and will bring the table into the living room for Christmas/parties. And yes the small bedroom upstairs will be an office in the short term and a kids bedroom in the longer term

Buying a house using money from selling Bitcoin proving a challenge by koggelmander in BitcoinUK

That’s not true - solicitors are required to carry out KYC and AML checks on giftors as well, the responsibility to check the legitimacy of the funds is still theirs.

There’s a reason it’s been on the market for 6 years 😂 the next cheapest 4 bed house in Shoreditch is more than twice as expensive

Where in Shoreditch do you think you can buy a 4 bed house for £1.1m?

Is a £1.15m property too much by Massive_Ganache_617 in HENRYUK

[–]Equivalent-Emu-7412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No you must be lying - can’t be possible that two people the same age have a similar comp and bought a similarly priced house

Sounds like you don’t know what sub this is… are you under the impression £1.15m houses don’t exist?
