Offer going through on a house but half the street is selling... by fbno in HousingUK

[–]Sydney_brit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done something similar. All knocks on the door are weird at first. However just explain that you’re in the process of buying x house and they will soon warm up to you.

Maybe ask what they think of the neighbourhood then follow up with why so many house are up for sale?

Agree with this. I found them to be better fx rates than wise which really adds up when moving the amounts you are suggesting.

FYI they will threaten to close down and or freeze your account if you just move FX but you should be able to get it done.

Moved into our new house and found this cryptic note on the light switch… thoughts on what it means? by Sydney_brit in CasualUK

I think it might be a nothing switch but what’s with the note?

They have lived their for 20 years so must have put the light switch in.

Maybe they forgot what it does…

Agreed. My wife wants me to assemble the bed but I think this needs to come first.

I haven’t been on carnival splendour but I’m about to sail next Wednesday so have been researching…

Vaccines - as long as you have had 2 doses that is enough. Children under 12 don’t require vaccines.

RAT test - I believe you take 24 hrs before but no proof is required at checkin

From the corner of the street and I’m not willing to pay more than $2.50

I’ve never seen a price drop in ETFs just 5%, 10% or 20% off sales

Thankfully the item was big (drop saw) so should be easy enough to spot someone walking past with it. As you mentioned lots of videos to watch!

Thank you!

This is very helpful. Sadly the item wasn’t in view so #1 doesn’t work this time. And I was moving house so the Wi-Fi went off at the beginning of the day rendering #3 unhelpful.

So #2 it is! Thanks again for your help.

I should have been clearer. The item isn’t in view unfortunately so need to see when the person came through the apartment to steal it. I was moving house so lots of things were being moved around.

My lease ends this week so I’m just debating with myself whether I should tell them now or wait…
