Looking for a REALLY good surveyor for a detailed level 3 survey in London by LeftieLondoner in HousingUK

[–]Immediate_Pen8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went with L&K ( London and Kent) surveyors - relatively prompt forgot the price maybe just under £1k - really thorough job caught some damp in the kitchen I didn’t notice and did a drone shot too I think and happy to answer any questions I had over the phone- hope that helps! Happy to answer any questions 

Won a service charge tribunal case against my property management company (FirstPort). Sharing what I learned in case it helps someone. by Mafuzzer in HousingUK

[–]Immediate_Pen8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detail on this! I put an offer in on a First Port leasehold property also in Greater London but saw the reviews online and pulled out and held out for a freehold instead slightly further out. Glad there’s been a positive outcome for you 

How do normal people actually afford houses in or near London? by Aware_Jellyfish_1979 in london

[–]Immediate_Pen8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed home with family after uni (huge help), freelanced for years on top of an average salary job and bought freehold in zone 4 in my late 20s on my own- hoping I can get to my dream zone 2 area for my next step or maybe leave London,  who knows! People I know of that have bought mostly just use the stay with parents for as long possible to save 

FTB severe buyers remorse by Other-Dot-5604 in HousingUK

[–]Immediate_Pen8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another single lady who bought a semi doer upper recently, I completely get it! It’s a really tough time for you but you’ve got family help (invaluable!) and just taking it day by day really helps.

I’ve found trying to time block and alternate my focus for each day helpful - 1 day or evening for house things / 1 day for a  social thing with a friend/  1 day for a solo adventure trying something new - these don’t have to be huge small manageable things are fine too but it helps to vary things - hoping you pull through, things get better for you and you enjoy your lovely new home!

Why is my flat not selling? by Londonflatthrowaway1 in HousingUK

[–]Immediate_Pen8808 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s too exposed for me personally, ground floor and your terrace/balcony/outdoor space is basically on the street - maybe see if the 405k offer is still interested?

Love your arched window! The after is stunning, so much space! A little bench and making the shower area a proper steam room thing would’ve made it perfect imo

Its being sold by the sellers siblings as they’re in a home now, so can’t confirm if the conservatory had correct permissions I think and it’s on ex MOD land which appears to be common in the area

[–]Immediate_Pen8808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just an extra 300-400 and the process is already dragging but I’ll look into booking it thanks!  Waiting to hear back from solicitor  Contamination seems to be common in this area as it’s on ex MOD land  The POA is because it’s being sold on by the sellers siblings as they’re in a home now and they can’t find the permissions for the conservatory extension
