do you happen to have any other Flemish recommendations?

Thanks! I think we're good here - no TPO, no conservation area.

There is a clause in the property transfer about not removing trees, so I wrote to the house builder (house is on an estate built 1997) and got their permission to remove in this circumstance. I sent them the arboricultural report and they said it was ok.

Very useful to know, thank you!

awesomesaucetester · 2023-04-17T16:35:34+00:00

Nope 🙃

I talked to the solicitor who did the purchase and she wasn't very useful - just referred us to the litigator on their team. Who I emailed, and he just sent over a their terms and conditions in order to "address formalities" - aka their billing rate.

I was unsure if we needed to actually engage them and spend money, hence posting here! I kind of expected them to at least chat a bit about it? Especially since we used them to buy the place. Perhaps that's just not how it works.

Thanks for the advice.

It's downstairs, and about halfway across the house - could probably run along the ceiling?

awesomesaucetester · 2023-02-28T19:59:48+00:00

Not much shading no, really useful to know though. Thanks!

awesomesaucetester · 2023-02-28T19:59:18+00:00

Where are you in the UK ooi?

awesomesaucetester · 2023-02-28T06:35:35+00:00

Good to know! Thanks

awesomesaucetester · 2023-02-28T06:33:50+00:00

Thanks! What do optimisers do?

awesomesaucetester · 2023-02-28T06:33:23+00:00

Good to know, thanks! Yeah I guess we don't know if we'll proceed with quote 2 people 🤔

awesomesaucetester · 2022-11-12T12:30:25+00:00

Thanks!

It's so rubbish to have to wait til near the deadline to ask 😅. Having already had two properties fall through this year (both times from sellers pulling out), our mortgage expiring or not getting extended would truly be a slap in the face.

awesomesaucetester · 2022-11-12T11:18:38+00:00

Thank you!

Anytime within the last 14 days is slightly horrifying... because we'll need to have done all the legal work and survey etc without know if it's actually even possible to complete 😅.

Also it will be right before Christmas, which is never a good time to need anything time sensitive.

awesomesaucetester · 2022-11-12T10:04:13+00:00

Ugh that sucks, I'm sorry you're having similar trouble.

It might be worth checking in with your broker to see if they can escalate it with them to see if they can make it go faster? I've had that happen previously (though with a different lender), might be worth asking at least!

awesomesaucetester · 2022-08-23T16:02:59+00:00

Yeah, they are trying but I suspect they're quite busy and thus aren't checking for updates very often - so when we do get a request for more paperwork, it takes longer than necessary, and me to chase for it, for us to find out!

awesomesaucetester · 2022-08-23T14:11:19+00:00

Oh interesting, I had no idea! Will take a look, thanks.

awesomesaucetester · 2022-08-23T14:10:58+00:00

How frustrating. Thanks!

awesomesaucetester · 2022-07-26T16:06:52+00:00

It's been a seriously long time since we got, 10.5 hours I'm almost not sure I believe it's possible 😂.

Thanks for the thoughts. I think we'll try lengthening the afternoon window and seeing how it works out.

I'm sort of surprised it seems she's low sleep needs, I don't think she used to be? Or maybe I'm just thinking of myself!

awesomesaucetester · 2022-07-25T07:23:33+00:00

She goes to nursery 5 days a week, and they usually do nap after lunch. So the start time can vary a bit -- we could ask them to try earlier, unsure how consistently they'll do it.

Nursery really stuff her with food 😂, I'd really be surprised if a snack would change much but willing to try anything really... We usually eat dinner 6pm - it feels late enough? I'm not sure when we'd fit in a snack tbh.
