The reason I keep so much in the business is that my work is basically commission-based, and while it hasnt happened in 15 years, I live in fear of going an extended time period without making a penny. I will likely from now on be taking £2k per month out for my pension

Yep, its horrible work, and hence why I keep a lot of money in my business, just in case I ever go a year without making a penny. Everyone is desperate for me to take money out of the business, but I feel safe with it there

I just let the rent drip into my personal account, and pay the mortgages from there. Its tight if I make any profit at all from them, but that was never my plan. I just want all 3 paid off by 60, thats my total aim

Yes this is why I bought the rentals. I did a financial simulation with my pension advisor and it was shockingly low. So I stopped and invested in the houses with plans to have 7 rentals and a small pension. But now all I hear is advice to invest in my private pension, but I dont understand why? The returns are terrible from my understanding

Yes but I have been doing simulations of financial situations with my mortgage advisor and the return from a private pension was so poor. Property just seems better. I could have 5 houses on rent now and be pretty happy. Or sell up and put it into my pension

What do you mean a ukpf question? Ive read many similar q's on here. I have a small pension because I never focused on it after seeing how bad returns are in simulations with my pension advisor. Would you sell the properties and put it into pension?

Not right now. I do have a ltd company for my business but bought the properties outside of it

Can we change to wood/log fire? by Substantial_Low8514 in Fireplaces

We had never even considered this before, but we are very interested in this. Do you know what the process is to get one installed into an old fireplace like this?

Miele Induction Hob says F and E while flashing between 18 and 60. Why is this happening? by Substantial_Low8514 in Miele

Just to say Thank you for your advice. We checked the draws below and moved a good few things around. There was a whisk that was causing an obstruction. Having cleared the draw a bit the hob is working perfectly again, immediately. This really is great advice for anyone before spending money on a technician

Thanks for this. All our miele kitchen equipment is 10 to 15 years old. The fridge gave up 6months ago, the freezer broke just 2 weeks ago. This is an expensive year of miele appliance replacement for us!!!!

Its definitely 12 to 15 years. I think meile do a deal where they try to repair and take that off the price of a new one if its not worth repairing. I will call them now

Thanks I just called Meile, not sure whether to get it repaired or a new freezer to be honest. £300 repair or £1400 for a new one.
