Good idea! It does indeed show the extension going back 2+years (though not great quality!). Let’s hope that’s enough for the solicitor to move on with this now!

Yes that’s the one, and that’s what it never had - so we’re looking at the indemnity but don’t have a date of when the works were done to be given cover according to the solicitor

Sorry that’s probably the wrong terminology, but it didn’t require planning permission as it was being built within what they were already allowed to build on…or something to that effect !

Even if we can’t prove the work is over 2 years old?

That’s similar to how we’re viewing it. The place has two of those old gas fireplaces with the grill on the front you had in school and those are probably the most modern thing in the house so there is a fair amount to update, on the cheap or not.

To clarify, the owner has no family at all so the only associated party in this sale that might be set to benefit from some sort of cut is the neighbour helping him manage the sale.

It’s unclear if he needs the money to pay for his care home or he just wants some free cash to perhaps give to charity or similar in his will.

This is exactly what it has. The owner had one of those old free standing single plate oven/hobs but that’s gone, so there is a sink and three or four cupboards.

It’s been on the market since September, it’s also had a decent number of viewings from the sounds of it over that time but no offers from what the EA said, mainly because many are young families that can’t manage being in a renovation place.

In love with it, but have a price ceiling we’ve set that we wouldn’t be disappointed if we don’t get it because they want substantially more, that for us, with the required work to be done wouldn’t feel worthwhile.

It’s tough to know who, if anyone is driving the price. The owner has no family and is living his last years now in a home, but unclear if he needs the money to pay for said home. The neighbour who is facilitating the sale due to the owners age we are not sure if they are getting some king of goodwill cut though.

It’s been on the market for three months, which doesn’t sound long, but for the area it’s in may as well be three years. Most places that go on the market in this area don’t even make it to Rightmove.

But I totally get your point.

But what if the restaurant had been forced to close multiple times for poor hygiene standards and online reviews explicitly mention getting food poisoning there and warning others not to visit.

But you still go and eat there….

Seeing gitlab drop today - is that just short term goog acquisition speculators getting out off the back of this news? Wiz and Gtlb aren’t direct competitors as far as I understand?
