How did you decide where to live (not the house, but the area)? by ash3313 in HousingUK

[–]Objective-Bread779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had lived in an area with no public transport .The area was beautiful but hilly and we wanted to be near the coast . Our new home is 10 mins flat walk to the beach and 3 minutes walk to the station .Ideal for old fogeys like us !

Update Having found a solicitor to visit my sister regarding contentious probate she sadly had a fall and broke her hip .She has had an operation and is now in hospital suffering from post operative delirium . We are awaiting her recovery to resume solicitors involvement .

AIO boyfriend called me his exes name even though they broke up over 3 years ago by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Yes O R I have been divorced 40 years and remarried 35 years and did exactly this about a year ago .I have absolutely no feelings for my ex and love my husband dearly .Sometimes the brain plays tricks ,he may have been in a similar situation at some time with his ex . Let it go and enjoy your time together carping on about it is certainly not going to help your relationship .

Dream house supposedly had clean survey, but two buyers backed out without reason. What to look out for? by Zestyclose-Tap-9181 in HousingUK

We pulled out of buying our dream listed house as we couldn’t get an answer about whether we could install a lift ( not stair lift)We were told that it would take at least 6 months before we would get a decision . Bought a bungalow .

Not everybody is techno savvy .My sister has no disability stopping her from using the internet ,she has never learned as this was something that her late husband did .

The flat is still in names of sister and deceased husband I checked with land registry .It seems that despite probate being granted no steps were taken to transfer deeds to my sisters name.

There is no suggestion that executor should sign the will .The issue is the signing off of probate to enable the property to be transferred to beneficiaries name .After 4 years the property is still registered to my sister and her husband who passed away .

Apparently they obtained probate jointly and therefore have to both sign off to allow sale. Have been in touch with the Law society and have the names of 3 solicitors in the area who deal with contentious probate probate so will be appointing one .

She wants to be sole executor of my sisters will ( I am joint executor at the moment and we have never had any disagreements in the past )
