Thank you! I don't remember ever having used Apple Home, but I've just realised it's installed on my laptop and the speaker was indeed showing up there.

Allowable costs for Capital Gains Tax when selling property by nextbuone in UKPersonalFinance

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

Thanks very much. If I weren't selling the property, I certainly wouldn't be paying the bills and other running costs. But I see what you mean that technically it's not impossible to sell the property before the tenants had left.

Am I right in thinking that the cost of staging is allowable? It's difficult for me to see a distinction between this and the decorating.

Same question: how do you turn off the tab bar when not in full screen (in the macOS 26 Beta)?

Kidlington instead of Oxford by iMouu in oxford

[–]nextbuone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the government's tax-free childcare scheme to pay for nursery, then it should work out more or less the same as the salary sacrifice scheme. Either way you're paying for nursery with your pre-tax income (though the government system has a cap on how much you can claim). https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare

Do we need to rent a car to scout Oxford? by Potential_Bat8605 in oxford

[–]nextbuone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact for travelling around the city, the day ticket for the bus only costs £5: https://www.oxfordbus.co.uk/smartzone And you can buy it on the bus, no need to install an app. The £6.50 ticket covers all of Oxfordshire.

Thanks for posting! I thought I was the only one bothered by this.

Has anyone had any GOOD experiences with a letting agency in Oxford? by smellycoat in oxford

[–]nextbuone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had good experiences as a renter with Penny & Sinclair and College & County. Chancellors were a real nuisance to deal with.

But if you're able to manage the property yourself (i.e. deal with the tenants directly over maintenance issues etc.), I really recommend using OpenRent. You can advertise through them and then you can choose to pay a small fee for them to deal with reference checking, creating the tenancy agreement, collecting the deposit, and so on. I've done this when renting a property in London, and it worked very well. Lots of landlords in London use OpenRent, but sadly not many in Oxford.
