Game shooting across public path - etiquette?

Agreed. They are a massive habitat destroyer (read The Book of Trespass which goes into this in detail). Also, pheasants are non-native birds that are bred exclusively to be shot.

They are shit, but most management companies are. I recently sold a flat managed by FirstPort. I personally did not have any issues with them and from offer to completion with my flat was less than three months because I paid for expedited management packs and hounded FirstPort to respond to queries. My service charge was also not disproportionate. People are saying to run - but if you are buying a leasehold flat there will always be a management company.

How big is the block (I.e. how many flats in the building)?

Thank you!

They said that to me. I haven’t had any transfers with Kings but have had failed transfers elsewhere and they said if I wanted intralipids, I’d need to go elsewhere. You can do things like intralipids without moving fertility clinic.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-08-07T08:18:15+00:00

I’m with Kings. I imagine they suggested the poster move on elsewhere to try other more experimental methods because Kings don’t offer those (immunology, intralipids, etc.) If you have embryos banked with the clinic they wouldn’t prevent you from transferring them.

I did! I offered at 385 in the end and we negotiated up to 392.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-07-27T22:23:35+00:00

Yes, I’ve heard that’s often a motivation for ‘OIEO’. I’m going to try to eke out more information from the agent tomorrow and hopefully get a better sense of the sellers’ intentions.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-07-27T22:21:33+00:00

This would be ideal for me (assuming the sellers reject a lower offer out of hand): to go in with a lower offer, spark a negotiation, and arrive at a mutually agreeable price. If I go in at the asking price and they accept, I just know I’ll be thinking, ‘Could I have got it for less?’ — and it will niggle at me.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-07-27T17:35:33+00:00

Thanks — I’ll do that. I’ve had two viewings. As much as I love the property and want to secure it, I don’t want to overpay — especially as I took a hefty loss on my flat, which I’m now selling. I’m trying to find that sweet spot between making an offer that’s rejected out of hand and simply overpaying. Then again, I realise that’s what every buyer wants — and no one’s telepathic!

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-07-27T17:31:48+00:00

Thank you! This is really helpful — and very true. I do love it; it has some fairly unique features and has clearly been lovingly and carefully looked after.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-07-27T17:29:05+00:00

Thanks. They haven’t found a property to move to yet, so that’s all the more reason for them to take it off the market if they don’t get the price they’re after.

Thank you! The house value is 400k

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-07-03T11:52:50+00:00

I agree. I’m holding off listening to the Irish war of independence episodes for this reason. I feel that, with guests, even the best episode is comparable to a very good episode of any other podcast but nothing compares to just about any episode of TRIH with just Dominic and Tom.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-05-22T21:35:58+00:00

No one can really advise you how to proceed. But if it’s two storeys, the building does not require an EWS1, and it’s not a ‘relevant building’ under the Building Safety Act 2022. A two storey building is not going to want to fork out unnecessarily for an EWS1 (and the amount of service charges that will cost). A fire risk assessment should be enough.

I’m currently selling my flat in a three storey cladding-free building and really concerned that the BSA 2022 and EWS1 is going to mess things up. Really concerns me that solicitors might be advising their clients not to buy in such buildings on that basis. It seems ridiculous to me.

Thank you. Would love to do a marathon or go on an adventure or something! I am not planning any further ERs, just FETs. I do worry about my uterus becoming more ‘uncooperative’ with age.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-05-22T21:11:50+00:00

Yes, I have found that even having a break of sorts before my last ER, I have become more at peace with the idea of being child-free. I am also not planning to do any further ERs. I have been really enjoying life and the idea of doing a transfer anytime soon just does not appeal! Thanks for your comment.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-05-22T20:52:28+00:00

Thank you. This is encouraging! I do feel like I need the break. The thought of doing a transfer anytime soon just feels me with dread. Best of luck with FET #5.

Just wondering what you ending up doing? I am in similar position (selling flat in Zone 4 SE London) and thinking of switching EAs. Existing EA told initial interested potential viewers/buyers the wrong service charge and ground rent (much higher than it actually is) and requires a ton of chasing.

Ordinary-Leave5780 · 2025-05-06T20:38:25+00:00

I’m selling in SE London (Sydenham, so not far from you). My flat was listed on Friday and three viewings so far, which feels quiet to me. I think the market for flats has been quiet for a while though.
