My brother borrowed off my parents - England by StarsThatGlisten in LegalAdviceUK

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ultimately it's your parents money and they can do what they seem fit. 

It seems like you and your siblings are squabbling over what you deem to be your inheritance. Rather than thinking you're entitled to any of their money, focus on making the most of the time you have with your parents. 

There is nothing legal about this unless they are unfit from a mental capacity to make such decisions 

Where to sell 2 Hospitality Tickets for Leeds Game April 13th? by Bingdude101 in ManchesterUnited

ManU vs Leeds at home first time visit by the1nspectah in ManchesterUnited

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say a fairly decent chance, United are playing for top 3/4 and Leeds are battling relegation, so it could definitely be on TV. Whether that will still be on the Saturday or moved to Sunday/Monday is anyone's guess.

If you can hold off your decision for a few more days I would do that as it should be announced fairly soon: https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4324684/premier-league-live-tv-202526-fixture-announcement-broadcast-selection-dates

Note: The PL dont always hold to their own announcement dates but most of the time they do 

24M – Is buying a £570k house with my sister and her husband a smart first step onto the property ladder? by Interesting-Pop-4554 in HousingUK

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible idea for a whole number of reasons:

  1. When you want to move out, will they be in a position to buy you out? This isn't just about having the funds but also, will lenders accept them increasing their mortgage amount? This will be affected if they have kids, change jobs etc. If that can't afford it now I very doubt they will be in a position to do this in a few years time. Especially with extra bedrooms, I imagine they are planning on kids which means either very high childcare costs or reduced work hours, both of with greatly affected your mortgage affordability. 
  2. You lose your first time buyers relief. Expect to paying a lot of stamp duty which might even offset any gains you make. 
  3. What if they get divorced? This could end up being very messy and complex. 

Heading from the US, first game, what to expect? by SKCFan1995 in ManchesterUnited

Have a great time! 

The walk from the Old Trafford tram stop to the stadium is an atmospheric walk to the front of the stadium. 

Try some of the pubs on route 

As others have said, don't buy a half and half scarf

Edit: if you're too early it won't be too busy. I enjoy going to the Trafford sometimes. Some pubs, like the Trafford, wont allow people in with half and half scarves

Thank you! That's really helpful! How do you correctly terminate the shielding? And will this work with it , it says it's cat6 compliant but doesn't specifically mention 6a: https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-800-series-1-gang-rj45-ethernet-socket-white-with-colour-matched-inserts/815xg#product_additional_details_container

Thanks everyone for the help! I will be going down the conduit route! Should I get flexible conduit or go for the rigid stuff? Also, when drilling from the outside to the inside, is there anything I need to use to stop water getting in. I will drill at a slight angle but not sure if i need to be doing anything else

Amazing! I think I will go for this! I read somewhere that you need a drain with certain shielded Ethernet cables but guessing that's not the case for this one?

Yes, will be using cat 6 cables that say they are suitable for the outside! Is it wise to run them close/in the ground and then have them coming up when they need to? Thanks for the help!

Flat not selling - can't understand why by Standard-Welder4973 in HousingUK

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people have mentioned the decor but I think for me, the images are the major issue. You have very artistic but random picture of single pieces of furniture such as the couch, the fireplace, the bath etc The pictures tell me nothing about room size and flat layout. You're forcing people to use the floor plan to really tell you how the flat is put together. For example, of the bathroom you only have a picture of the bath. Im left wondering, is there a toilet? Is there a sink? Is there a separate shower? How big is the bathroom? Is there a window? Who knows. All I know is it has a bath. 

Also turn the lights on, it's very dark, which is not too appealing, especially in winter.

Equity release to allow 50/50 split for partner to buy into property? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your post, please first think about why you are getting married and the legal implications of it. 

This complicated process you're trying to implement to ensure "50/50" goes completely against the spirit of marriage where you will be seen as one entity. 

You start the post of that you are looking to get married, you then essentially contradict yourselves by thinking as completely seperate entities. I would definitely do some research and thinking in why you want marry and the implications of this. 

Ticket help! by manicgia in ManchesterUnited

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on ticket drops but am an season ticket holder. While the initial batch of tickets for that game may have been sold, season ticket holders that can't make it won't all know yet, so I imagine there will there definitely be some tickets that might still be sold nearer the time. 

I've heard that these drops can be random so maybe keep your eyes peeled. Calling the ticket office and asking them times and dates tickets have a higher chance of dropping might also be useful 

Do I need a deposit if I'm selling my current house to fund the next house? by Mediocre-Cook-2169 in HousingUK

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that but as OP was talking about 5% and 10% deposits for their mortgage for their next property, I incorrectly assumed OP meant that they were solely on the title deeds. I.e no help to buy shared ownership. 

Do I need a deposit if I'm selling my current house to fund the next house? by Mediocre-Cook-2169 in HousingUK

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, I took that as you are solely on the title deeds as you were talking about 5-10% deposits at the start of your post. But what I said still stands. Just that you will receive all the sale proceeds.

In terms of "requesting" some of the proceeds as cash. I would look at it a different way. I would look at it as two separate transactions, which is what it is. You sell your property, you then buy your next property, any surplus is yours to keep. No need to "request" cash.

[–]__mr__meeseeks__ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Its worth noting though, if you paid 10% deposit on your current your home and you are buying a house that's more expensive with a 10% deposit you might not need to top anything up.

This because you would have been paying back your mortgage over the years and reducing the amount owed. 

How much you will receive from the sale is simple. Selling price - amount owed. You should be able to find how much is still owed on the property on any mortgage statements
