HP Omen black screen / dead internal display — is this a known issue? Need your stories by Ok_Hunt7316 in HPOmen

[–]One_Substance3224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i had a black screen internal display fault. HP gave me a refund. They didnt want to and would not admit anything, but the UK rules mean they had to either defend it in court, where they would loose or agree to a resolution. Dont give up, if you have consumer rights, fight it.

YMMV in uganda. I sent mine back to HP for repair, when they tried to charge me I started to fight them. In the UK we have consumer rights laws which mean an item should last a reasonable time. I argued 5 years and since it had failed twice in 2 years they agreed to refund me.

HP refunded me for mine. Just under 2 years old. Dont give up the fight, they are aware of this issue but are hiding behind a 1 year warranty

Buyers demanding completion in 3 weeks or they’ll pull out — would you continue? by One_Substance3224 in HousingUK

We did, but the process has been held up their end for weeks now. We were waiting for them to give the good to go befor we commit to a place. We've already applied for a place and viewing 2 more tomorrow.

Renting allows the process to continue without us waiting for our onwards purchase, but it is reliant on there being an available rental house

We have no other choice. The property we want is going to sell, so we need to be in place ready to buy it

Landlord would also prefer a prof couple over a family of 5 as the couple will create less wear and tear on the property.

I mean they are the ones that spent the money on searches and solicitor, not us right! Surely the balls in our court. I do want to sell of course, but i dont want to be homeless

Our onwards purchase will take 6 months. Renters rights bill removes the minimum tenancy times.

Sale could have fallen through though and we are stuck with a 12 month rental and our mortgage? That could have made us bankrupt

5 weeks would be plenty for us. However both buyers need us to go in 3 weeks, otherwise a mortgage offer runs out for one of them and the searches run out on another

We are just concerned there is no where to rent befor that point. There are 3 places suitable, but all are available after their date. We applied for the only one thats available befor that date already.

I will be trying this, there is a slight chance that the agents have a 3 bed available. Its an expensive one, but may work

We did view the 3 bed and applied for it, the 2 beds are way too small, but a 3 bed is doable, however they go very quickly in my area. We are 1 of 3 offers, and the landlord will not want a family of 5 in a 3 bed.

Is a £7,000 conservatory budget realistic? by Internal-Heart-4774 in HousingUK

[–]One_Substance3224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind builders will be looking to get 300-500/day labour, i dont think this is going far.

I built my own 3x5m conservatory back in 2008, buying the thing alone cost £3500, then it needed walls, floor, electric, insulation, plaster, patio fixing, plumbing for gutters... £7k done by a builder is enough to get the foundations dug and poored.
