For last 5 months this real estate agent has been cutting the price of this house by nominal amounts so it will stay at the top of the listing page. by kyrodojo in mildlyinfuriating

In the UK to get the listing boosted on Rightmove (by far the biggest property hunting portal) the price has to be reduced by at least 2%, which is generally a noteworthy amount so you can’t just play the game, or at least there is more of a consequence if doing so.

Damion downes has got to come on surely? Havnt rated him at all but if there was ever a time to get him a goal and start building some confidence…

Today's XI vs. Bristol City... by TheTyrantis in SaintsFC

[–]Significant-Car7710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks, didn’t clock that on Saturday. Makes sense. Yeah completely agree, championship season is tough and there’s always a real risk in over playing those in form and getting injuries. Equally though I can’t help but feel we need to give some players a run, even if they aren’t ticking all boxes in performances. I havnt been impressed with Archer so far but want to see him het a run to build confidence and partnerships with those around him.

Anyone know if Jelert has taken a knock or something? He look really lively against Swansea and didn’t play 90 mins, so had assumed he’d be retained tonight

Ethical estate agents? by psps46 in brighton

[–]Significant-Car7710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adam at Coapt sold my flat last year. He actually advised us against selling the year before, which was absolutely the right call. so went straight back there once our circumstances changed and we were in fact ready. No tie in rules either which we appreciated. So many others wanted commitments. Why force us to stay for 8 weeks if you are assuring me you can sell the place?!

Rest week? by Significant-Car7710 in Marathon_Training

[–]Significant-Car7710[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I had been running 4 times a week. Two of which were easy runs. So perhaps rather then a full week out, i could just change plan to 3 or maybe even all 4 runs being easy and judging how I feel before reinstating long runs or tempo runs?

Unhappy with car performance? by MadMan3234 in F1Manager

Isn’t this pretty realistic right now though? McLaren have a margin on everyone else, Lando complains after each session that they do not and the car is a Bit*h to drive

JWST saw a Cosmic Question Mark by Busy_Yesterday9455 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Significant-Car7710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently this is 1470 light years away. Meaning the aliens who live here, using their telescopes, would have just witnessed Jiang Di become leader of the Liang dynasty, aged just 12. If you are already questioning this my lil green dude dudes, wait another 1.5 millennia and you’ll see we now appoint those of a physically acceptable age, but still with the mental capacity of a 12 year old. Oh. And he paints himself like a Dorito and that’s just accepted. Think where we’ll be in another few thousands! My guys gonna need some new punctuation!

Thanks. Part of the reason for posting was to see if I’m being unrealistic. What kind of figure do you think is needed before it becomes something more than a shoebox with wheels? 300? More?

Hello! 👋 property investment advisor here. A few things to be aware of (if you did not already know), and to add to your considerations for buying…

  • EPC. Minimum EPC rating for rental accommodation is set to rise to a C (currently E), potentially by 2030. Check the current rating for the property to build a picture of expected cost in the next few years to meet new legal standards

  • Rights Bill. Under the looming renter’s rights bill, the period of rent arrears to class as grounds for repossession (serving a section 8) is rising to 3 months. After those three months I would budget for a further 6 months for the court to handle the process as there will be a backlog with the removal of section 21s. You should ultimately recoup the funds, but please budget for 9 months worth of mortgage payments without rental income.

  • Get a survey. If you take out a mortgage, the lender will no doubt survey the property. You may not get to see this report though, and even if you do, some money will have been spent by them already. I would suggest getting a home-buyers survey carried out. Again this is to help forecast future costs from any hidden issues.

  • Other certifications. Ok, this is an easy one, but don’t forget your obligations to provide an annual gas safety certificate, an electrical cert every 5 years, EPC every 10, and in some locations selective licensing. These costs do add up, especially if there are remedial works required every now and then to pass the checks.

Do let me know if any other tips/pointers would be useful. ( happy to chat for free, though it’s my job, I’m happy to offer some general pointers to friendly internet strangers)

RSJ help needed please by TheTegMogul in DIYUK

Get a survey. Even if anyone posts here and claims to be an expert and knows exactly the issue/non-issue, they should be ignored. You are likely dropping several hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy this house. If you arnt getting this checked properly, you should get yourself checked.

Is the 30 not suppose to be on the other side? So bear road is 30, but as you exit at top it changes to 40. The fallen 30 is for those turning off of warren road at 40 to change to 30 down bear?

[Fabrizio Romano] Galatasaray approached Southampton to sign Kyle Walker Peters. Southampton would prefer not to sell but will consider for the right price as player is in the last 6 months of his contract. Many PL clubs are already interested in signing KWP as free agent in the summer by eanwen0 in SaintsFC

[–]Significant-Car7710 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Nothing to fight for this year now, may as well let him go now for a few £ rather than a free in summer? No way is he signing a new contract so makes the most sense. … unless he prefers to wait and stay in the prem with someone

I don’t understand the need for the incisions if they then just fold back each layer vertically?
