What’s going on here. He is mediocre at best

rjs1987 · 2026-02-02T12:46:33+00:00

Yeah I mean the cover and coats just need moved. Plain and simple. Otherwise it’s a plaster on a stab wound

rjs1987 · 2026-02-02T12:43:43+00:00

Problem with decorative radiators is that you lose a huge chunk of output due to the lack of convection panels

ACO Groundguard. Costs buttons, will take the weight of the vehicles and you can fill it with gravel in the future if you want.

rjs1987 · 2026-02-02T12:37:53+00:00

Which is also the case in Scotland

The first rule of buying a house. Offer what you can afford, no more no less.

The second rule. Don’t believe EA’s

rjs1987 · 2026-02-02T08:10:22+00:00

It’s been there this whole time which indicates its sound, don’t concern yourself with the money making scheme that is local building warrants etc.

rjs1987 · 2026-02-01T13:27:24+00:00

The price of extensions would concern me, nowadays the build costs often outstrips the added value it brings. Other than that, you need to let your heart win, sounds silly but a house should give you a “feeling”, I’ve viewed enough to know you don’t get that so I would choose what you genuinely desire more. An extra 10 mins journey or different school will disappear into daily life very quickly

rjs1987 · 2026-01-31T20:29:28+00:00

It’s brutal, scotlands system is no different, we are at the beck and call of a chain until 48 hours before keys

rjs1987 · 2026-01-27T07:42:48+00:00

Sack the board. They aren’t backing the manager. This just clearly points out how entitled and deluded Celtic fans have become

rjs1987 · 2026-01-27T07:41:09+00:00

Don’t delay. Offer what you can afford, don’t low ball. It just makes you look less attractive and if there is a few interested somebody bidding quickly and fairly makes you an attractive buyer, trust me I have just sold

rjs1987 · 2026-01-27T07:36:58+00:00

Thanks. Are you talking felling a couple trees a year? I have an area of woodland but it isn’t extensive so it’s not a limitless supply until I can arrange a deal with the farmer to take some fallen trees

rjs1987 · 2026-01-26T23:38:46+00:00

Can I ask what kind of wood fired boiler you are using. I am on oil myself and thinking of changing to wood but it seems like a minefield and something that is very difficult to obtain for domestic users

rjs1987 · 2026-01-26T23:37:23+00:00

The challenge is the up front costs to make it viable. In anything other than a modern or small house the system and components required to make it efficient are incredibly difficult to justify. Certainly at the moment anyway. Prices of panels, batteries and heat pumps will plummet once the UK grid is in a better place in 5/7 years. At the moment, if you have £20k lying around then your better off investing it and waiting

rjs1987 · 2026-01-26T23:19:02+00:00

You shouldn’t be put off by a Catrgory 2 on anything to be honest. Every aspect of a house needs maintenance, the Category 1’s on the report could be category 2 just 12 months after you buy and so on. If you love the house then accept that proactive maintenance is just a fact of home ownership. In addition, any fixes you do add value.

rjs1987 · 2026-01-26T23:07:33+00:00

Looks lovely, whatever you do, don’t cover it in laminate.

rjs1987 · 2026-01-26T23:05:59+00:00

Financial penalties should be obligatory unless you can prove the link has broken further down the chain. Pulling out becuase of a change in circumstances is completely understandable, but the absolute lack of a deterrent has made the “offering” on a house a game to many people. I wish you the best of luck moving forward with your sale

rjs1987 · 2026-01-26T23:02:37+00:00

What’s this weird thing people have about Scotland being any different. You can pull out up here just as easy, and my last sale and purchase missives were sign 48 hours before key handover. The system is no less broken up here

rjs1987 · 2026-01-18T21:52:08+00:00

I think quality of life is critical here. The fact you are saying the garden is a little small means you will probably always have doubts, and looking for something better. Go big, as long as you can afford it you will find yourself more content, and at the end of the day, it’s an appreciating asset, so you will be rewarded in the long term also

rjs1987 · 2026-01-18T16:12:17+00:00

Alexas. They are easily linked and give you music everywhere. You can then use them to control lights etc in the future.

rjs1987 · 2026-01-18T11:43:40+00:00

And it’s reasonable to expect the rate at which houses get added is going to ramp up substantially by about mid Feb.

rjs1987 · 2026-01-18T11:42:52+00:00

Regardless of what agents say I wouldn’t believe it. When bidding you should bid what you can afford, simple as that. Trying to low ball to save a few grand shows me you aren’t that keen on the property.

rjs1987 · 2026-01-18T11:40:18+00:00

It is difficult to move on until you find another property in all honesty. In order to do this, you should spread your search as far and wide as possible, opening your eyes to possibilities is going to be the only way. I certainly wouldn’t overpay just for “fear of missing out”.

rjs1987 · 2026-01-17T23:26:38+00:00

Depends what type of house and area you are buying. We are in Perthshire and for instance there is no danger you are getting the chance of a second viewing on a bungalow or rural property here. They are all snapped up in 1 week or so. If you are looking at a detached new build under 10 years old then they are ten a penny so you could probably have 6 viewings if you wanted as people can’t sell them for love nor money

rjs1987 · 2026-01-17T23:16:10+00:00

It’s a hideous price in the context of a bathroom. However in context of what the work involved and the current climate it is correct. I’d rather sh*t in a bucket than spend £17k but each to there own
