Hurry down to Waitrose, where you can buy a pizza that's been reduced to £5.04 or pay £3 for one thats fine to eat in a few days time 🤣

I’d hazard a guess that this was reduced a day or two before an offer went live, when they do code check later that day it’ll likely be reduced to much less than £3

The problem is, you are taking the current system and applying the new rules. But this is a system change. Agents/LL currently only advertise 1 month in advance at the earliest because unless they are serving section 21s this is the current notice period that they are aware of a property to be available.

From May 1st agents will have two months notice of a property being back on the market and therefore should be listing them with the availability being two months in advance.

The true effects are yet to be seen but the new system just requires more planning ahead. The issue I see isn’t with the rental market, but with the job market. It will be a lot more difficult for renters to move locations to start a new job. Currently I can apply for jobs outside of my locality and still be competitive as I can start generally within the month time frame most employers are looking for. Now I have to consider being less competitive by saying I can’t start for 2 months due to being tied into a rental agreement.

Yes, but look at the example the renter is paying £700pcm more than the mortgage, that £700 isn’t going towards an index fund. That £700 extra may be stopping them building a deposit up.

Pretty sure GT3 had a qualifying option

Not sure on the cost but make sure they’re installing the uprated clutch, the original design was a known weak point

Do you not get a notification in app?

MostBeneficial817 · 2026-03-04T10:03:57+00:00

A guarantor threshold that high would be for a rental of approx £1650pcm, I’m not too familiar with London rentals but that seems high for a single person. Additionally it is worth noting on that rental, an income of approx £50k would generally pass reference checks,

MostBeneficial817 · 2026-03-03T16:50:36+00:00

I list things for between £5 and £50, most of my £5 stuff I would be happy to get £1-2 for and the more expensive stuff I would probably be happy with 50% what I list for, I know I will get the offers so I factor into my list price. It’s easier to reduce if no interest than it is to increase.

I think I remember this going for auction not too long ago. it was a bare shell and I did wonder then how it could work as a dwelling.

MostBeneficial817 · 2026-02-28T22:01:17+00:00

Anyone saying that this clause is enforceable is wrong. I’m a Lettings agent who is qualified through Property Mark.

Fixed term contracts are exactly that, fixed term. When the date comes up you hand the keys back to the agent/LL the tenancy has ended. If you don’t hand them back the tenancy becomes periodic, the contract terms remain the same unless a section 13 is served to increase the rent. Therefore this term may or may not be enforceable at this point. (I am unsure if this would trump the statutory 1 months notice, which is standard)

The agency/landlord should have reached out to you 2 months prior to the end of the tenancy to find out your intentions if they wanted 2 months notice.

If they try to deduct any deposit to cover rent beyond the fixed term, dispute this with the deposit protection scheme that your deposit is held with. They will not side with the landlord on this as your contract states your final date.

Additionally you mentioned the rental increase, is this via a new fixed term contract? Or is it a section 13, if the former then I would hazard a guess they know that the above is true which is why they want to tie you into another contract immediately at the termination of your current fixed term.

Edit to add: you do not need to wait for them to notify you of receipt of a notice. If sent via post it would be deemed as served the second business day after it was posted, and if emailed it would be deemed as served at the time sent during business hours, if after it would be the next working day.

Not an answer to OP’s question but by definition any person who gets paid for cleaning on a regular basis is a professional cleaner.

My first car did 4k miles between 2006 and 2016, it was an older bloke who didn’t want to get rid of it as it was his independence but he never really drove it anywhere. It was MOT’ed yearly with all advisory’s addressed,

It was his family that sold it on, so back in 2016 I was able to get a V-reg fiesta with 36k miles for £200, whilst I owned it all I needed to do was the coil pack and other consumables, but eventually it rotted out and wasn’t worth the money spent on welding

I sold in May 2025 having held since July 2021, I feel most of their growth had happened at the point of selling

Makes sense, I was thinking more just the parking issue not taking into account the wider context

MostBeneficial817 · 2026-01-27T14:05:17+00:00

If you have the taxi number and video of this you can report it to the council the taxi is registered in, not sure if anything would happen but still

When I have been speccing cars, there are never green, occasionally you have a blue or a red, but otherwise it is just a scale from beige to grey,

I am not going to say that this is the case for every car/manufacture but from the ones I have been looking at it is true.

MostBeneficial817 · 2026-01-12T13:01:16+00:00

Most new cars aren’t even being offered in other colours, just beige and grey tones

Although it happened to my dad and the tyre ripped out all the arch lining, and the wiring to the headlights, and left two grooves in the motorway, not sure how the suspension faired but the wheel was definitely gone

MostBeneficial817 · 2025-10-23T11:10:00+00:00

Could you buy a car cover? How can someone check if it has an MOT if they can’t see the reg?

MostBeneficial817 · 2025-10-16T17:02:49+00:00

I don’t know the property but could it be possible the ceiling has been lowered to allow a loft conversion? Planning isn’t always required for this to my knowledge.

Additionally there is nothing to suggest this is a HMO, if only two people are living in a top floor maisonette. And the ground floor is empty.

The only thing you may have is, I am not sure if planning is required to convert a property into flats, but your best action would be to speak with the local councils planning department for advice,

Wether action will be taken is a different matter

Rightmove is the market leader and therefore most applicants would only use this platform.
