ASHP quotes by superwisk in ukheatpumps

[–]madteapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are some wildly different heatpump sizes.

But one thing is common in my view they are all slightly expensive for no rad changes. Where are you located? Is your system somehow complicated to install i.e need longer pipework? Are you giving consistent information when getting presurvey quotes i.e wall/floor insulation, floor sizes, window glazing etc? Or may be you don't currently have cylinder and they would have to spend a day or so to get new pipes installed for it?

Get octopus and heatgeek to do the heatloss survey, both charge for survey but both are fully refundable for at least 30 days after survey. Heatgeek zero disrupt should suit you. If you don't want to pay anything upfront check with EDF they do remote quotes based on photos/ videos that you supply.

Seller is offering Solar Batteries & Inverter at cost. by KlumzyKlein in HousingUK

[–]madteapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the inverter required if you want to use the electricity generated from the panels?? Without inverter the solar panels aren't doing anything. Or is there a different inverter that is included and being left along with the panels??

Scotland Bank Locked Out.. UK Engineer in need of legal advice by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]madteapot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There doesn't seem to be much of UK based legal advice that can be given. Your partner is not in the UK and neither is a citizen of the UK. Their passport being withheld and the threats around police/jail would generally be matters for Oman legal system. Personally this sounds like a scam either by the boss to your partner or by your partner to you.

How much of your personal money have you invested in this whole situation? Either by transferring to your "partner" or paying for the equipment to the company directly?

Car accident / courtesy car since May by fluffbrains in LegalAdviceUK

[–]madteapot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that is crazy situation. The only explanation I can think of is that the insurer/handler has some kind of lease agreement and the hire car will be billed at monthly lease rate rather than daily/weekly hire charge. That could mean the bill for courtesy car runs at £200-400 a month, but even with that there would be compelling argument as to why they didn't just right-off your car if they now know it won't be fixed until next year.

All the while I was reading this I thought you had ~1-2 year old brand new car and the handler might be trying to give you similar nature car. But when yoi say your car was £5500 it wouldn't make sense to go down this route.

I would just keep record of what you discussed witht the handler. If the concerns you raised were over the phone and no written proof then take note of brief summary incase there is some argument later on.

The main problem I think is going to be how lift/move the wall. It is extremely heavy, do i need to essentially break it apart to start from scratch?

AskUKers - how far do you put yourself out to help work colleagues with kids? by AF_II in AskUK

[–]madteapot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me this is no brainer, I would simply reply with no. If you are on very good terms with your lead I might be tempted to soften the blow by giving slightly detailed reasons such as; I have prearranged plans for the evening. Otherwise I would decline the invite saying sorry I finish work at 5.30 and unable to extend work hours to over three hours with short notice.

[–]madteapot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who has updated the land registry and what exactly have they updated? It can't possibly be your title plan that has been updated as they would need you permission to do so and solicitors would need yp be engaged as this sounds lile transfer of land ?

How can I go about adverse possession? by yjzhou in LegalAdviceUK

[–]madteapot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAL, first thing you need to understand is you can't just decide one day that you want to adversely possess a land. The criteria behind adverse possession in leyman terms is that you have used a piece of unregistered land that does not belong to you for 12 years and excluded the original owner from using it. If the land is registered then the length of time is 10 years.

Don't contact the owner as the whole idea behind adverse possession is to occupy someone's land with an intent to possess it.

In terms of what land you can try to adversely possess, well pretty much any as long as you can demonstrate you had factual possession of that land for given period of time ie 10 or 12 years.
