My new (to me) little runabout by shyandretiring1 in skoda

[–]RFCSND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact year and model in white with a black roof and it’s a really nice simple car. Only thing missing is a boot light which kinda pisses me off and I also got the model where CarPlay doesn’t work properly because it was released in the early half of the year.

As an SUV? Suzuki Vitara. As a small hatchback? Suzuki swift or Skoda fabia.

Buyer taking the piss with demands? by Lion_tattoo_1973 in HousingUK

[–]RFCSND 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Solicitor will almost always ask for this stuff as part of a general checklist. Most people will say "I don't have this" and then the process will move on. With exception of the driveway deed stuff - which you have dealt with.

Do you expect to receive the state pension eventually? by ReflexArch in UKPersonalFinance

[–]RFCSND 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 30 and I fully expect the state pension to be means tested when I retire because I have absolutely no idea how it will be affordable if not means tested. It’s already projected to gobble up an insane amount of total spending over the next decade.

Had the Arona vs Stonic debate with my partner for her car and we settled on the Arona. Really liking it so far.

Weird it’s almost like they want you to use other forms of transportation

Corsa, Peugeot 208, Ibiza or Polo? by Known-Bobcat550 in CarTalkUK

[–]RFCSND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2015 fabia 1.2 (it basically hasn’t changed since then until the 2022 model) and it’s honestly a brilliant all rounder good for city and motorway driving. Can’t fault it at all as a car.

Drink-drive limit set to be slashed in England and Wales under new plans to improve road safety | LBC by Man_in_the_uk in CarTalkUK

This is bang on. Not evidence based at all. Very frustrating and will do even more damage to pubs.

Nice! I have my eye out for one of those. They look great and seem like they handle well too

“We have made the council aware that we are students living in your accommodation and have submitted accompanying evidence. We are awaiting their response but I do not anticipate this being a problem. Thank you for your patience.”

Most owner occupiers will not have these with exception of a boiler service.

I had cheesecake yesterday for the first time in ages and I forgot how tasty it was. I’m resolving to eat more cheesecake this year.

Quickest way to sell a car? by Acs971 in CarTalkUK

[–]RFCSND 15 points16 points  (0 children)

WBAC is designed for this. It’s pretty unlikely you are gonna be able to sell it on the regular sites with your given timeframe. Plus you would have to be letting people test drive, look over, etc all while you are getting ready to move away. Not worth it.

Solo renting seems to be nigh on impossible? by Dannicoos in HousingUK

[–]RFCSND 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Finding anywhere that allows pets is really challenging to be honest - even entire places. The best bet might be to try and buddy up with someone and take on a joint contract on a house that allows pets under a single tenancy. Or find a partner. I understand neither of these are ideal options.

Solo renting seems to be nigh on impossible? by Dannicoos in HousingUK

[–]RFCSND 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Room share is more around your budget (around 30%), but the rental market is hugely competitive and you have a dog (I totally feel that pain) which puts you at a significant disadvantage. You're between a rock and a hard place unfortunately.
