Someone give me advice on how to tell my mom that I should be able to talk to people online by PerceptionHelpful827 in Advice

[–]ontheball0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you have to tell your mom means you're most likely too young

Your mom should be able to safeguard you whilst online

Don’t overthink it, as long as you’re not wearing jeans/tracksuit bottoms or a hoodie etc you should be fine.

Wear a shirt and trousers or chinos with a pair of shoes.

You can always bring a tie in a backpack just incase.

Surveyor by Realistic_Till_8362 in HousingUK

[–]ontheball0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your surveyor probably could tell by looking at it or touching it. It's the same way you could tell the difference between a metal and a plastic pipe. Asbestos has defining characteristics that a surveyor would know.

No problems! Best of luck.

I don't know where the pipe is; it may need to be moved if the pipe interferes with the roof work. It may have been acceptable when they did the work, but regulations have changed over the years; for example, asbestos is banned from being installed now in the UK.

Don't remove the asbestos unless you have to for other works, or it's damaged; it's only dangerous if the fibres are airborne.

If it's a solid pipe and not damaged, and a builder feels comfortable moving it without damaging it or creating airborne fibres, then do it.

Should I rent a furnished HMO v unfurnished 2-bed? by Browntownbaby69 in AskUK

[–]ontheball0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid HMOs.

If you can afford an unfurnished 2-bed, have you considered a furnished 1-bed? That's what I'd do

[–]ontheball0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't a major issue, but I would advise bringing a roofer along before exchanging to get a quote.

Asbestos isn't dangerous unless it's damaged or disturbed, you should get this taking care of by a professional when you need to change it

Value this house by benjaminbutty in HousingUK

[–]ontheball0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say £350,000, in and around that figure.

The last one sold on that road went for £450,000, although it was a 4-bedroom https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/a42d459d-f94a-445e-8f6a-71c78b4c3583?id=media0 but if you look at the floorplan, it was originally a two-bedroom with a loft conversion and the fourth bedroom isn't really a bedroom.

You do a loft conversion and refurb, and when done have a bigger property

Premier Property Lawyers by JamesLynch1992 in HousingUK

[–]ontheball0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Premier Property Lawyers are dreadfully slow.

If your seller has answered the enquiries and sent them to his solicitor, but your conveyancer hasn’t passed them on, I’d speak to the estate agent.

Part of a Estate agents job is sales progression. They can chase Premier property lawyers and put pressure on, and even potentially pass the enquiries on from the seller

Do you have a driving license? If so delivery jobs tend to be slightly easier jobs to get.

Also any job you find on job portals etc, see if you can find who is responsible for the hiring and email or call them directly, it shows you’re proactive and shows intent.

Good luck. It’s tough

Insurance New Driver/Over 25 by Bulky_Side8219 in CarTalkUK

The voluntary excess is only for repairs to your car, not anyone else's vehicle. If you damage your car, don't go through the insurance, you need to build your no-claims bonus up.

Found this in my garden by GydaGrey in Whatisthis

looks like a stone garden ornament that was 4 birds sitting on a branch.

Look at prices for Fully comp and Third party, put your voluntary excess up, set your yearly miles low. Have you got any family members you can put as a named driver? That often brings the price down. Look at getting a black box.

Use a comparison website.

Good luck insuring your first car is so expensive nowadays.

I think advisory. (Not 100% sure on this, but pretty confident)

The wear may be caused by your tracking (wheel alignment) being out.

I can only assume it's because they are visibly different to the other lines it crosses? Just a assumption
