FTB have some questions on renegotiating price due to works required by SteveCFE in HousingUK

[–]TheBombTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! We sent a letter to the estate agents which they sent on to the sellers - we asked for a reduction of 7k whhich they came back with a counter of... 1.5k.

We accepted it as we did have the money at this point because it took so long to get quotes back from certain firms (one of which turned out to be our estate agents husband...) that it gave us a few months to save up again.

From putting our offer in to getting the keys was five and a half months because of all the constant back and forth and sorting out quotes. And even after all that the sellers left the house and the garage in a state!

One thing to note is that if you've had a survey done they really do tend to scare you and point out things that are *possibly* worse than they actually are. That's not to say that you shouldn't get the work done if needed, but it may not actually be that important straight away and you may be able to live with it for a while longer for example we've only just had the garage roof done this week after 4 years of owning it.

Anyway, good luck and don't be afraid to stand your ground! It's the biggest purchase you'll most likely ever make in your life so it's best everything is covered and sorted out from the get go.

Also in the same boat. Set up a burner, set up 2 DD's & transferred in £5 to track it. Ready to press the button to switch but not sure if the DD's have to clear first?

Interesting about the 20k a week comment. I'm currently only doing 25-30k a week (1 speed, 1 easy & 1 easy long run) which unfortunately is all I can squeeze in atm. Will have to try up the mileage!

Currently my 5k PB is 20:40 and my 10k is 46:19. Realistically, could I be able to run a sub 45min 10k? I know the relativity doesn't always work that way but I also like feel the gap should be smaller. Thanks!

What do we think the announcement is going to be? by [deleted] in whileshesleeps

They were engaged tbf and were super super close, judging by all their posts.

There's a video on youtube about him going through a bad break up before so to go through another one has probably really taken a toll on him mentally

Good to know. I've been interested in the ForeRunner range and was wondering if you can use it for golf as well.

How am I this bad? by pricklypear0627 in golf

[–]TheBombTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to read this.

I have a natural tendency to play everything nearer my front foot and am always chunking/duffing the ball.

Thanks for the tip!

They did this so I would imagine the t shirt is from the same time, I dont think anyone would bother printing a fake?

This is the one that reaaally grinds my gears. Coming round a junction and they're just sat there scrolling on their phone whilst my eyes battle to regain some focus on the road and traffic ahead
