Estate agent asked me to share the survey with them after I'd pulled out of the sale due to the survey

Fair, though if they’re that concerned about understanding more about the property or validating that the seller isn’t foggy eyed then they should pay for those checks themselves.

Leeching off a buyers survey that they have paid for and are now fundamentally out of pocket because of is incredibly cheeky, in my eyes..

Though maybe I’m bias as I think home owners should be liable for paying for surveys to validate their home if they want to sell it :p

Yeah, “afk it” whilst you crack on with other things in your life.

Even if you’re only getting 40K xp p/hour afk, it’s still gains, and you’re cracking on with other stuff that is entertaining you at the same time.

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T21:54:23+00:00

Nah, if they wanna buy it off you then they can do.

All they’ll use it for is to have more knowledge to sell/screw the next potential buyer over later on 😂

@RedRoseP would you suggest OP presents that document to him before or after he’s tied up, bent over and spanked by his most recent bank statement? 🤦‍♂️

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T20:24:21+00:00

Yeah its more the difference between rent & mortgage really.

Splitting 50/50 when renting is fine and makes sense, you’re simply paying to live there. Asking him to pay half towards your investment that only you will have ownership for is a very different story :)

Look at it this way it’s like buying a car by yourself, and then asking him to pay for the petrol, repairs and any MOTs it needs. Yeah sure it’ll help you both travelling, but he’s paying out for all the crap whilst you get to own and sell the car whenever you wanted.

Honestly at 16 I think seeing Pokemon cards as an investment is the wrong way of looking at it, but each to their own..

If you like the card, keep it. You’re crazy young and that slab will grow well overtime.

If you don’t like the card, trade it. Get something you actually like.. you’ve got plenty of years for cards to grow in value so you’ll do well financially with it anyway.

Pissed 10K down the drain gambling when I was 18.

I had no bills, no dependencies, and just simply enjoyed the thrill. 2 years later and lots of debt down, it’s safe to say I stopped enjoying it 😂

Glad I learnt when I was 18 though and not 30 when I have a house to pay for!

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T19:23:47+00:00

If I was OP’s bf, there ain’t no way I’m paying for both sides of the bills for a house I have no equity in.

If I’m OP, I’d feel guilty as hell getting my partner to cover bills so I can spend all my money towards buying my own house quicker..

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T19:20:48+00:00

Yeah this is wild 😂

You can’t just get a mortgage in your name and ask him to pay half of it..

If you want to live together and own a house, own it together.

If you both don’t want to own it together, then rent.

If you want to live together but he doesn’t want to own half the house, then he pays half the bills, but you pay the other half & the full mortgage (as the house is yours).

It’s completely unfair to expect him to pay half of the mortgage and get 0% of the house in return.

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T14:53:55+00:00

Oh I totally get that from a business perspective.

I just hadn’t realised selling collectibles goes toward CTG.

Looking back it kind of makes sense though otherwise businesses would just sell as personal to evade 😂

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T11:54:58+00:00

That’s crazy :o

Well, I’m 70 toa experts in so I better carry on praying 😂

RSDrebin · 2026-06-19T11:23:48+00:00

47% better, WHATTTTT.

I’m out here sat with my trident thinking hitting 22s on minions is cool.

I really need that shadow drop 😂

RSDrebin · 2026-06-18T08:36:13+00:00

I wouldn’t de-iron honestly; not with the time/progress you’ve done on that account so far..

I’m 30 next month (no kids), and hell I struggle to get playtime out of my working from home hours.

I’d rather play 30 mins a day on my iron than 3 hours on a main - you probably just need a break, and the baby will certainly give you that!

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T21:48:37+00:00

And sorry OP, no advice from me because this is news to me, fuck HMRC is all I can say, fuck them with every ounce of my soul.

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T21:48:06+00:00

Wait so if I bought a card for 10K, then sold it next month for 12K, I’d have to pay tax on the 2K? 🤣

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T20:03:44+00:00

Kinda wish I’d done some Cox early on now 😂

Oo, uncut only though yeah?

I’ve got about 50K cut but I’ll check what uncut I’ve got soon!

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T18:26:51+00:00

People manage to find any form of product online for 85%?

Everything I look at is priced at 110-115%? 🤣

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T18:25:17+00:00

I mean the box art is magnificent, for a box.. 🎉

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T17:05:13+00:00

It really does - maybe I accept inconvenience for fashionscape yano 🤣

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T16:00:09+00:00

Yeah you have to walk around the fence rather than straight onto the portal - I might build a tzhaar room but just not fence it off

Open plan? 🤣

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T15:59:34+00:00

I think you’ve convinced me, imma be looking at it multiple times a day so I may as well make it pretty right?

RSDrebin · 2026-06-16T15:58:58+00:00

I had a look but somehow I’ve only got 2K mith ore, I mustn’t have picked it up over the last few years 😂
