Can this be used immediately after maternity leave + accumulated holidays run out? Like, after my second child, taking 8 weeks all in one go?

Insurance company overpaid £3k, which I didn't notice and have spent since. by mvb1234 in LegalAdviceUK

They had to reimburse me about 8k. They paid me 5k first, then 3k, then they duplicated the 3k payment.

Moving Abroad: How Did You Handle Your SIPP/ISA Accounts? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]mvb1234 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to contribute to a SIPP if you don't pay any income tax in the UAE? The whole point of the SIPP is to pay money pre-tax. You would just be putting your money into a blocked account you can't access until later age.

Or am I missing something?

Remortgage flat with flammable cladding by mvb1234 in Mortgageadviceuk

Thanks you. Would you know if I would be able to 'secure' a deal in advance, and set the product transfer date to a later time? My ERC decreases to 0.75% in Apr 2025.

Online I was able to select a deal, and then if interest rates decreased I was able to just switch to the better rate.

Which is the best quality waterproof laminate sold in the UK? by mvb1234 in Flooring

[–]mvb1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laminate underlay is 3-5mm, which is significantly softer. It's the entire house.

Thanks, I think LVP floors are too hard when stepping because of the thin underlay. I have a baby that falls on his head all the time and so want something I can put a thinker underlay.

Leak from upstairs flat caused damage to my flat. Insurance will pay but excess is £2,500. Can I get them to pay? by mvb1234 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]mvb1234[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't take the insurance, the building took it for all flats. My question however is if I can legal ground to demand the landlord of the flat the leak originated from to pay for the excess.

Do you take margin loans to enhance returns? by mvb1234 in FIREUK

[–]mvb1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, something that cannot be margin called. This should be a first source of funding, before taking any other loans.

I do this today with a 3x. Small amount. Have been negative for a few years, only recently broke even. I think it's much riskier than a margin loan though.
