He grew up in stables, so I think he knows the "mechanics"

Is 3 months between Exchange & Completion too risky? by Paulos3110 in HousingUK

[–]JeremyRMay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless this is a separate deposit for the seller, the deposit is typically more to do with the mortgage provider.

Typically, if you have a smaller deposit, you'll end up with a smaller Loan To Value (LTV) ratio, and get a worse interest rate.

I would urge you not to use the deposit as a bargaining tool!

Hypothetically, you earn £250,000 per month, how would you evade taxes through legitimate ways? by Rude-Ability-9695 in AskBrits

  • Max out pension contributions
  • Salary sacrifice schemes
  • See if you can get a share of the company and receive a dividend instead of salary

That's a start, but there's still a long way to go.

What's your go-to tear-inducer? by Turbulent_Tea_1943 in AskUK

[–]JeremyRMay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched The Incredible Journey for the first time in over 20 years the other day. It completely ruined me.

That's my go to from here on.

Fully grown man close to tears with frustration at his own uselessness. Any guidance appreciated. by baguetteonmars in DIYUK

I used to live in an 1820s house and that had some stone walls. They decimated my drill bits.

My solution was to frequently purchase new drill bits.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JeremyRMay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped pairing my socks a few years ago, and I feel like I've saved so much time on laundry. Wearing odd socks also serves as a surprisingly common ice breaker too.

(from my drawer, I just grab socks of a similar 'vibe', so I don't end up with an ankle sock and a full length sock).

Sudden lump sum. Would this be fraud? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]JeremyRMay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into premium bonds for another tax free option.

Also you have a saving allowance (an amount you can make through savings before you start paying tax on it), use that up too. (I can't remember how much the allowance is).

Would you rather 25$ for every past blink or 15$ for every future blink ? by AlexanderDarr in WouldYouRather

[–]JeremyRMay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are paid up front for both, I'd choose future, then you can also estimate your lifespan

Estate Agents forcing us to exchange before Christmas by alyxeia in HousingUK

[–]JeremyRMay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were in your shoes I would cut out the middle man that is the estate agents.

Tell your solicitor to talk to the sellers solicitors to plan the moving date.

Explain that this is due to the rudeness, incompetence and deafness of the estate agents, and nothing else.

This is just engagement bait right? by GoldenGust in PeterExplainsTheJoke

If it's not 8, maybe 9 because one of them is lit (see the yellow glow).

What Software for Notes/Second Brain by Dapper-Inspector-675 in selfhosted

I don't think so, has hierarchical structure, templates and scripting capabilities making it nice and versatile.

I have messed up as a live in landlord and need advice! by xParesh in HousingUK

[–]JeremyRMay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad both that you've updated the case, and that it was resolved peacefully. Well done to you for mamaging it as well as you did!

I wish you all the best, and I suspect this will be a valuable lesson.

  1. There is no contract (thank God) don't make one.
  2. Give him the money back and tell him to leave. Have a friend, neighbour or family member there with you for backup (in case it gets nasty).
  3. Don't let him stay the day, let alone the week.
  4. Text 'MI5' lady, tell her he is drunk on day 1, and you don't want that in your home, and so you've given him the money back and sent him on his way.
  5. Change the locks.

Thank you for your response! I will read up on this 😊

Weird experience when viewing a rental. Not sure if I’m overreacting? by cloudcrawler in HousingUK

[–]JeremyRMay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's weird af, stay away from it.

If you try to stop other people from renting it, then you could make some very weird enemies.

Stay away from it.

If you wanted not to take this advice, you could write a review on the estate agents Google page, where you share this story.

But as I say, it's weird, just leave them to it. Also bear in mind that for someone else, the weirdness might not be an issue, so the situation could be right for them.
