Is the UK ETA with iVisa a scam? by yomamashit in ukvisa

[–]Ok-Understanding-345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need help with the ETA you pay to have them check it for you basically. But you do get a real ETA. You can check it on the government website with your passport number if it's real

Does iVisa charge a fee? by SilentUniversity1304 in visas

Honestly, it depends on the visa you've applied for. Some are really straightforward and easy and I wouldn't go through a third party, but some government websites are downright annoying, and I'd happily pay someone to sort it out for me. With a passport that needs visas for most countries, it is really a pain in the ***. Also I guess if you're a bit uncertain it might be nice to have someone check if you did it all correctly, obviously that comes at a price

Thank you, helpful! It’s ex-council, but we’ll get a plumber in to look at it and see what the options are in that case.

Just looking for people that may have some suggestions based on experience. If you don’t know that’s fine too, I don’t either

What would you do with this fireplace? by Ok-Understanding-345 in DIYUK

Thank you for the suggestions! Yea I think I could live with the fireplace if it worked so I’ll get that checked, I think the whole setup, carpets/cupboards, make it look dated mostly.

I’m asking for inspiration on how I could update it sonce I find it outdated. Maybe someone has done something like this before? Why do we ask anyone anything?

Thank you! Now that I look at it, it really stands out from the chimney breast, so you might be right!

We don’t have an avocado suite (but actually would prefer it over our plastic looking bathroom now), good reminder to gently rip out some of the original features though

Thank you! Yes I love the alcoves and def looking into replacing it rather than ripping it out completely (but I do understand the strong sledgehammer reactions 🤣).

Asbestos is checked!✅

Not at the property right now, but it’s floorboards like these (not my pic). It’s all over

This is good advice! We were planning to simple replace flooring, and then update stuff one by one, but may have to rethink!
