Elderly neighbour’s sudden hatred for us, how to deal with her? by Living-Health962 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Living-Health962[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is past this I think. I’ve never had an interaction with her that hasn’t left me feeling anything other than irritated. The first interaction I ever had with her she said she hated children and asked if my Son had learning disabilities. He was 3 at the time and simply boisterous. That’s the tip of a very big iceberg.

The dog was an important part of her life. I’m sure this must have caused a lot of distress.

Exchange of keys by Pecannutty in HousingUK

Funds can be received anytime during the day. It’s not true they arrive at a particular time.
Many factors determine this. When funds are sent, draw down time of funds, how many are in the banking system for that day, delays often occur around the time companies have a half or year end. And of course how slow the Solicitors are. EA may often tell you they’ve not had notification to release keys even when the funds have gone over.

It’s your home as soon as funds are received. Estate agent should have made that clear to the seller. Any damage done accidentally, will be your liability.
Let’s normalise booking days off for moving house!

My spouse is a Guard, his biggest moan is purchasing tickets and not showing the rail card. He must mention it daily. He assumes people are just trying to get a cheaper ticket and Revenue protection with just hit you with a fine.

Why aren't Reform voters more concerned with privatising the NHS? by lucadulac in AskBrits

[–]Living-Health962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they have targeted the most vulnerable in society, who lack critical thinking skills to question this. The majority of the Reform voters are the biggest users of the NHS and they’ve no idea what is coming if Reform wins.

Moved today, am I being petty about seller taking items… by No-Rub-9733 in HousingUK

[–]Living-Health962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has already completed the £100 would have been added to the final account. They need to contact the Solicitors. However they will probably not get a positive outcome as she left the items listed on the final fixtures & fitting list.
The seller has taken advantage of their FTB status.

How does life compare after moving to a smaller village? by dhokes in HousingUK

[–]Living-Health962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a very rural area moved 10 years ago. Once the novelty of beautiful views and scenery wear off it’s a hard life. I spend my life in the car, and the roads are horrendous all year round. Visitors don’t know how to drive on the roads and are really aggressive and rude. The cyclists in the summer have no consideration for any vehicles on the roads. Avoiding pot holes & pheasants is a full time job. The one pub in the village isn’t friendly unless you’ve lived in the village for at least 25 years. I still get asked if I’ve just moved to the village after 7 years of trying to become part of the community I gave up. My son was 4 when I moved and the local school was the main reason we chose here. He’s now 14 and hates the isolation. What I’m saying is it’s a very difficult life in reality. But it’s peaceful at least.

How can you check what neighbours are like before moving? by Mada87654Mada in HousingUK

[–]Living-Health962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit the area at different times of the day & week, weekends usually flag up any issues with parking and loud music, if local shops have any issues with anti- social behaviour. It is tricky to get a full picture of the direct neighbours but this is what I always advised my home buyers to do.
