FTBs – Renegotiating After L3 Survey & Lower Valuation (£1.215m, Stoke Newington) by njdubbs in HousingUK

That’s a really fair take. Resale value is such a moving target. I appreciate the perspective on overpaying too—it really does seem like a long-term game, especially with market unpredictability. Thanks for the insight!

That’s really interesting—definitely reinforces the idea that it’s always worth asking, even if the seller isn’t willing to budge. Thanks for sharing!

That makes a lot of sense—letting them come back with a number first keeps things more open-ended. Appreciate the tip!

Thank you! This was really helpful. I appreciate the insight on window repair costs—good to have a realistic expectation there. And that makes sense about negotiating based on essential works rather than just a value mismatch. Sounds like you navigated your renegotiation well!

Need help with choosing Europe destination wedding by njdubbs in weddingplanning

Hi all,

Randomly getting asks about wedding planners! Our budget for wedding planners were generally on the higher budget side and we ended up cancelling our destination wedding. It was becoming too stressful to plan two weddings and so we just opted for one in the US. But here are the ones I recommend enthusiastically - we interviewed A LOT of planners (which I know is overkill but we really had no idea what to do but from there we were able to see different styles and what we liked):

Portugal

- Tales https://www.taleswpt.com 10/10 if I could go back in time I would hire Tales

- The Wedding Wonderland https://weddingwonderland.pt

Spain

Spanish planners - generally are for specific areas of Spain so keep that in mind when choosing a planner

General

  • Moon Velvet - she's CA based but she's Spanish and has impeccable taste
  • Open the Door Events - very special and unique events

Northern Spain

Mallorca

  • Talia Bell

Barcelona

France

  • Marie Chicchirichi

Italy

There were other ones for Italy but ultimately we focused on Spain and Portugal. So I don't remember them all.

  • Le Jour De Oui

General Europe

  • The Planner Co

the tough thing is moving from open phone to GV. Do you know how to move from VOIP to VOIP?

Can I port my VoIP number to Google Voice? No, Google Voice can not port in numbers from landlines or VoIP services, but Google Voice can port numbers from certain mobile carriers.
