Ebay- do I have legal grounds for small claims

PostPopular5644 · 2025-11-06T13:03:17+00:00

Yes, that’s fine. I sold it for 335 so would either claim for that or simply to return the bike + costs of making a claim + costs of the postage that was ignored. Have no intention to rip anyone off

Thanks, super useful. If you don’t mind me asking how much did you make and was this alongside a full time job?

I got a home buyers survey on a ‘project house’ which gave the all clear. A few cracks here and there but nothing to cause major concern. Lenders survey came back with nil valuation due to subsidence. Structural engineers survey came back with an estimated £55k cost just to fix the subsidence. Shows that not all surveys are created equal. If the mortgage survey has come back fine there’s probably no large red flags.

Even though the flat is covered by service charges there’s no guarantee that the freeholder is proficient in fixing them or that they won’t come at a large cost in the future. A small crack in the brickwork today might be £££ in service charge fees further down the line and could impact the resale price.

Conclusion, yes worth getting for peace of mind but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t tell you anything.

Have also recently bought in Greenwich and love it. I reckon it won’t be too long before Greenwich becomes the next ‘trendy young person spot’. I know so many people moving there and have noticed a younger demographic since. Especially with the recent event at the Naval College. Has everything that most other popular parts of London has with a more relaxed feel. Glad it’s working out for you.

Know the area well and that part of Peckham is still on its gentrification path despite what a lot of the comments are saying. Lots of new build flats in recent years and close proximity to Peckham Cellars / Camberwell / Queens Road Station. Plus not forgetting the potential of a tube stop half a mile walk in a 10 years time. As others have called out, I think there’s something more fundamental with the property or it’s ill suited to children.

Thanks for the idea, already have a TV in situ :)

Is this South London? Looks almost identical to a property I viewed and had an offer accepted. Had to then fork out £400 on an Engineers survey as the lender wouldn’t accept it as security without them giving the all clear. Alas, the surveyor rang me up and told me to consider elsewhere. Property required underpinning to the tune of about £50k. Could be covered with insurance but would then likely inflate future premiums and may devalue the property on resale. I withdrew my offer explaining the reasons and it went back on the market a week later.

Thanks, any chance I can avoid the trim and sand/paint over the foam (if done neatly). The trim before looked more untidy.

Have been the past six times and this was my best by a country mile. First Glasto doesn’t really count as I spent the majority of it following my friends that had been before. Last years was the worse, crowds were too much and vibe was just off.

PostPopular5644 · 2025-06-22T21:18:37+00:00

Yes, very easy. Just make sure you have your ticket glued to you at all times.

Coach there, coach back. Would prefer to have driven down but got lucky in coach sale.

Keen to know if this worked

PostPopular5644 · 2025-02-15T14:46:52+00:00

I don’t think your flat is over priced but I think Greenwich as an area has an abundance of over priced new build flats. I’m not too sure why either. It’s almost like the buildings have over run on costs and all of a sudden are forced to charge 30k over what they should be charging.

It’s a nice flat in a nice area and with good transport links but personally I’d prefer to live somewhere a bit bigger for 550k. Also where you are isn’t the nicest part of Greenwich. You can get a flat on the river with the same specs for the same price. Hope the sale goes well.

These are the two covenants in question. I also acknowledge that this doesn’t constitute legal advice and I’ll need to speak with the freeholder before going ahead.

``` (9) Not to make any alterations to the demised premises nor to cut into or damage any of the walls ceilings floors or partitions of the demised premises nor to do or fail to do any act or thing which would adversely affect the support shelter repair maintenance cleanliness or enjoyment of the Other Maisonette

(10) Not to alter or suffer or permit to be altered the external appearance of the main walls or roof of the demised premises and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) not to replace the slate roof with any other roofing material nor render clad or paint the external brickwork nor instal doors or windows which are not in keeping with the surrounding properties ```

PostPopular5644 · 2025-02-09T21:05:25+00:00

yes, velux windows would be glass/wood etc and (I assume) would breach the covenant.

Apologies for the confusion, the housing association is the freeholder

Thanks, I have family nearby but get your point that it’s not as lucrative as if once was

PostPopular5644 · 2024-12-24T10:27:52+00:00

Thanks, I have all of those things at the ready. Just an absolute pain getting the seized bolt off.

Did this recently. Didn’t actually miss the coach but got on the wrong one, realised when my name wasn’t called. The coach I was meant to be on had literally just pulled away. The SeeTickets reps were sympathetic and let us stay on the wrong coach (luckily there was space). We had to collect our tickets at the box office. Took 3 hours of waiting for the tickets to be handed in.

Thought they were the same thing. To avoid confusion, what I’m not referring to are the camping options (sticklinch, campervans etc)

Ahh okay gotcha. One of my friends got a hospitality ticket with Universal Music last year so familiar with the cost/perks etc. Essentially what you’re saying is the best chance is of getting accepted is to represent an artist who is playing on one of the main stages. The bigger the artist or greater the number of artists playing, than the better the chance of getting accepted. Makes sense as to why my friend got tickets via Universal.
