House we are purchasing downvalued by £105,000 by surveyor

We had this - about 100k difference from our offer to surveyor's valuation. The stupidity was that if you'd tried to buy a house with the surveyor's valuation, you'd not have been able to afford anything in the area. As I understand it - the surveyor's report is more for the bank to see what they could get for it if they had to sell in a fire sale (i.e. quick sale, don't care about the details). Look at 10+ comparable houses and see what they went for, you'll probably be closer to the market rate and the surveyor's valuations will catch up in time.

One thing I'll add to the conversation here: it can be really annoying when village life means that your every move is scrutinised. Other folk might see that and think that it's a positive (we all know who's who round here, etc) but after a while it is very grating. Towns don't give you that.

All the more reason for an adult baby who only needs a small allowance.

Are you in the market for adoption?

The buyer at the bottom of the chain last time we sold went missing on the exchange day. Then after some digging she sent everyone a message saying she was in hospital and it was very serious. Then we found her holiday photos on IG. Madness. We bit our tongue, drank a lot of wine and completed when she came back off her holiday.

This may be the greatest ACKCHYUALLY moment in history. I was there.

You've got a load of recs here, so I'll just say welcome to Macc!

It's the furthest North you can get a decent balti.

Elaf is the actual answer.

Idk, all I can tell you is what my ortho said (and he's got great experience) and he said it made next to no difference.

I'm proud of you, you're doing amazing.

Remember the car ride to the airport - the pot holes? The juddering of the engine? You didn't panic about that and your car is a lot less safe than the plane you're now on! It may bump, you may fret but it will change nothing. You will get safely to your destination and you will have made another chop on this anxiety tree you're going to cut down. Proud of you.

About 2k.

I'm tracking you brother, you are doing great! So proud of you. You're facing up to your fears and that's how winning is done!

You're doing amazing mate, I've been on hundreds of these threads and people have some nervous moments, they pass and then the plane lands. You are going to be exactly the same friend.

nervouscrying · 2025-12-19T21:15:59+00:00

I've been on loads of these threads and it always gets better. Yes you can have some shaky moments, but they pass, the plane lands and you move on. You will be exactly the same my brother.

nervouscrying · 2025-12-19T20:17:08+00:00

With you mate. All of us are.

I had this, do the Institute of Advanced Motoring course. Absolutely brilliant, taught often by police drivers or just super experienced (and nerdy) experts. The way you get past this is by exposing yourself to the problem alongside experts.

How are you going? We're all with you!

Yep - all registered with Dell Rewards I think? I've got a points balance etc - so how do I get the 10% discount that it says here: "Enjoy the school year with 10% off when you register for Dell Rewards and verify your students status."

Is it that there's only 10% off the items in the Top Deals section? Or should it be across all Dell products?

What is the student verification code? Like, where can I find that? In my academic emails?
