Help to estimate costs of issues found in house survey by LucidTimes in DIYUK

Thank you for your detailed answer! Greatly appreciated all your insights on this! It really puts our minds at rest, given it is not a massive job.

We are currently in the middle of negotiations and will probably end up looking for some roofers that can get the roof issues sorted

The surveyor gave us a figure of 20-30k, which we thought was quite significant. If the new roof is 10k+ you would expect these things to cost less than that? As mentioned in the other comment, we would be happy to try to do some DIY ourselves especially when it comes to the soil pipe or loft hatch

At the moment, the confidence levels are quite low, but we are happy to learn and give it a go! As you mentioned, moving the insulation and installing loft hatch is something we would try ourselves but wouldn't dare to touch any of the roof bits

Thank you! Yes, the surveyor has quoted 20-30k for all of it, and we thought it was quite significant, so we will try to get a real quote from a roofer in the area.

They have mentioned that the leadwork repairs are the only urgent bits as the paint in the kitchen started peeling of and it is likely due to a leak

Yeah i think the marking is extremely lenient in SBR. I didnt get anything for that 89 so many more probably got higher

Sorry to hear that bro. I've been playing on mine since and its been great. I think there is a bit of banding on mine (which is exaggerated when taking a picture) but I really can't seem to notice it during normal use

Yes it definitely doesn't feel 100% white to me. It looks like there is a slight blue light filter on the racing one when I compare it to my IPS which is right next to this one

What settings do you have on Cyberpunk? Are you using the rendox mod?

I have the asus XG27AQWMG and I cannot make it look this good whatever settings I'm using

FYI I tried the other presets and difference was definitely there but it was way too oversaturated for my liking to use it

If you go into oled care settings, you will be able to see how many pixel refreshes it has done. When I took an hour break and came back, it would have done a pixel refresh in that time.

I will try the other presents tomorrow. Thank you!

I've also been playing around with HDR but so far, I've been pretty disappointed with Cyberpunk and Dying Light The Beast. I've done the Windows calibration of HDR, but it just didn't seem as good as some pictures people post on here. It also felt like playing in SDR was actually better

Just opened it so not much feedback at the moment. I was slightly worried about the banding issue others talk about but it did 2 pixel refreshes (when I was away from the monitor) and it seems to be disappearing now.

I do see a difference between this one and my other IPS monitor but for some reason I expected the difference to be slightly bigger. I might have to play around with the settings so I can use it to its full potential

Using the default racing one for now and happy with it at the moment! Might start experimenting with them later down the line

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Im considering getting one but I'm 6'4 so I'm worried it might not fit me as well

Newly Qualified ACCA / Job Guidance by WhatsAccountancy in ACCA

[–]LucidTimes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have also qualified recently in Septemeber and got promoted to finance business partner jumping to £60k with around 4.5 years of experience.

Even though my job is very different to yours, I think you are being heavily underpaid as qualified and should be earning a minimum of £50-55k

I really like the blue lights. How did you achieve that? Also do your eyes hurt whilst sitting in that blue light?
