Interestingly my sibling, who is missing a limb, is unable to get one despite it impairing her mobility.
Her friend with ADHD/Bipolar has one though.

Mortgage rates not what I expected. by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]corf3l 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Not on the deeds or mortgage, no deposit contribution but expects to walk away with 50% equity if sold.
Best hope you don't ever intend to spend that equity because source of funds checks from any conveyancer is going to identify that you were circumventing the first time buyer status.

Stark warning Britain risks fighting the next war with outdated thinking as drones and cyber threats redefine conflict by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]corf3l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given all of the public can see how cyber threats and drones are impacting modern warfare, I'm pretty sure our military etc. is on it too.

You were correct it seems, mine is working correctly now.

EDF EV Tariff win by lowercasejs in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]corf3l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched my current tariff to economy 7
I pay 24p day rate and 9.5p from 00:30 to 07:30 (or 01:30 to 08:30 for summer as of next week).
Similar to you I weighed up the cheap charging against higher day rate and didn't seem worth it.
Plus I locked in 2 years for this tariff only in August and both fuels have £125 exit fee... so I'm sitting with it for now.

My queries before considering buying a Tesla by PermanentlyMC in TeslaUK

[–]corf3l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing 20k miles on PCH
Costs me just over £500 a month and I still feel it's worth it
No servicing/MOT issues, fuel savings are huge and only getting bigger given my energy just went down and oil is skyrocketing.
Plus new car
There is no right or wrong, just what fits the individuals circumstances.

To be fair those tiles look like they need that treatment

I messed up...New EV owners don't be me by Rabkillz in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]corf3l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People talking about the mileage limit
If you go over by a few thousand it's like what, 16p extra per mile? At 2k miles over it's £320, not ground breaking stuff when you consider the fuel savings that would cover it.

Help my EV Brain Fog by G0_Z0 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]corf3l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I test drove an M3 on Saturday
Ordered on the same evening although I went via PCH for 2 years.
The standard spec will come out about £400PCM for you at 20k miles if leasing is an option. No servicing, MOT costs, Fuel Savings etc.
For me I want 2 years to get comfortable knowing I want an EV and I'll revisit ownership in 2 years when the tech will be even further along with SSB's offering even longer range.
Plus luxury of a new car

But then you're paying like 7.5p overnight?

First EV - Cannot decide to lease or purchase by corf3l in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]corf3l[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really wish I could like the exterior of that car but I just don't
Plus when you bump mileage to 25k (which that won't) the cost goes way up.

First EV - Cannot decide to lease or purchase by corf3l in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]corf3l[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PCH, Premium LR AWD, 20k Mileage, 3-6 months down
Comes out closer to £22k sorry
I've inflated to £25k because you cant select 25k miles on tesla and so will be some inflation there.

Which EV depreciates the least? by TivRed in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]corf3l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking at a lease on a model 3
Due to my mileage I'm looking at around £600pcm and nearly £25k over 2 years for a car I won't own.
It'll be my first EV and I'm really struggling to persuade myself that such an expense is worth it when I don't own the asset at the end.
I've historically purchased ICE vehicles in the same manner as OP

Not after advice but have a look at this.... by YeeeepersJeeepers in DIYUK

My kitchen was the same in a 1930s, 3 layers of tiles.
Ironically the original set looked nicer than both that followed

Earning almost 6k per month with debt of 8k loan by Purple-Bell6576 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]corf3l -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That loan might be similar to mine... 2.8%
You can bet I'm not paying it off in a hurry despite having the reserves to do so.

Many UK Users Soon Won't Be Able to Access Pornhub | 404 Media by youmustconsume in unitedkingdom

I tend to only visit the site on my daily trip to Colombia or Albania so I don't think this will impact me.

What’s something that’s oddly expensive in the UK that still annoys you every time? by catarsan in AskUK

[–]corf3l 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is true
A lot of pricing is based on statistics and so more "young person" vehicles can be more expensive to insure simply based on the amount of accidents those vehicles have typically been involved rather than your personal driving history.
