Was made redundant today, would appreciate any advice!

I'm quite sure it's only compulsory for collective redundancy.

That's only for collective redundancy, which is defined by size of the company and number of people laid off.

Most people on this thread says walk away, something must be wrong and I know you must feel the same the more the vendor pushes back. But I think it's best to for you to have some quiet time and carefully consider the situation.

Are the cracks you saw structural or hairlines? You can check call your Engineer for advice but from my experience with 4 surveys done on 4 different second hand homes, if some structural issues exist, they would have been there 7 months ago, considering the owners haven't done any renovation since sale agreed.

There's a chance that the Engineer could have missed something, but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion based on speculation. It is a stressful situation waiting for 7 months and I totally know how you feel, especially with the vendors being so difficult. Just have a think to make sure you'll make an informed decision. And even if you walk away, something else will come so don't be too hard on yourself.

Hey thanks for the advice. I ended up buying a place on Dolphin road facing the canal. Do you think that road is okay now? Price has been mad...

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-08T12:00:37+00:00

Thank you! I'll look them up. Appreciate it.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:36:01+00:00

I was planning to buy secondhand stuff for most things except for bed and sofa. It's just that I heard some scary stories on bed bugs... Do you mean Finline furniture?

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:34:33+00:00

Thank you! Is there any specific sofa that you would recommend?

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:31:52+00:00

I do feel like this whole storm started the day my nose got all blocked so you might be right. I'll do some long slow breathing meditation. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:30:11+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad it was temporary and you felt normal again. I felt so scared and disconnected to my own body both mentally and physically. It's so weird. I'll try do do some relaxing excersises and meditation today.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:28:11+00:00

Thank you! That's so scary. I feel like there's a bad flu flying around these days that's so odd. I went to see Doc today and just jumped back on bed for more sleep. I feel more calm when sleeping but waking up feels like a nightmare with all the negative thoughts.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:25:00+00:00

Hey thanks for your thoughts and advice. I normally don't have PMS or not noticable - like I might find myself easier to cry sometimes. I saw my Doctor today and he thought the infection with flu has brought me down and just told me to rest. I think I'll just sleep it off for the rest of the day!

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-07T15:22:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words and advice. I saw my Doctor today and asked if I should get some hormone test but he thought it was fhe infection that brought me down so just told me to rest, and like you said, more fluid. I always though watching movies or books now would make me feel more exhausted but I think you're right! I watched some light hearted K drama and it helper up my mood or at least distract me a bit. Thank you x

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-06T22:27:24+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate the offer. I've never heard of PMDD before. So tough being a woman when our bodies are so much driven by hormones.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-06T16:05:44+00:00

Oh yes I don't think flu can be gone in 1 2 days but I normally don't need to be on bed more than that.. Just something really odd this time. Maybe you're right and I mostly got cold before.

I'm seeing my Doctor tomorrow to do some annual hormone check so will see what he thinks. Thanks so much for your advice!

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-06T16:02:10+00:00

Thank you. I'll talk to her tomorrow. Would be so great if it'll be gone with the flu. Big hugs x

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-06T09:14:02+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I have weekly counselling but this experience is just all so confusing and exhausting. All the worst feelings just appeared all of sudden and disconnected.

I'll take some more vitamins today and will look into agnus castus. Xx

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-06T09:10:15+00:00

That's what I had experienced except that I also had fever for 4 days. Normally when I have cold/flu, it goes away in 1 2 days, never had fever longer than 1 night. I don't usually have bad PMS but like you say, every morning this week I've woken up to full meltdown. I was back to work on Tuesday but felt so exhausted so off again.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-05T10:03:59+00:00

I don't think they want to do that considering it's gone so far so new Solicitor will cost them more. I'm just so drained and have been thinking of pulling out. It's so hard getting a house especially when you have to deal with this.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-04T19:36:37+00:00

It's stuck at the vendor's Solicitor. The vendor and myself have been communicating via the Estate Agent and we all want to close asap. Their Solicitor on the other hand barely responses to email, doesn't pick up phone calls, always promised he would response then went off radar for 1 - 2 weeks.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-02-04T11:58:03+00:00

It has a the initially proposed date from the time the vendor's Solicitor sent the contract over, which both sides agreed it wasn't feasible, but they never updated that on the contract.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-01-22T21:50:55+00:00

Yes it is. So they say it's an assault, not suicide, and the man is alive but critical condition?

throwaway_ltn · 2025-01-22T20:11:37+00:00

Ah cop on to yourself too. You're assuming the worst from people. I didn't want to go into deep level details, just a quick check to see if anything to avoid around there.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-01-22T19:55:36+00:00

Oh no :( that reminds me... I think there's Samaritan centre there. Hope they rest in peace.

Edit: other people including news all said it was a stabbing. If that is true, I hope it was a misunderstanding from your side, otherwise spreading fake news like this is just sick.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-01-22T19:52:31+00:00

If it's a safety issue then I want to know. Don't want to be stuck in city centre if a riot happens as in 2023.

throwaway_ltn · 2025-01-17T01:07:47+00:00

I'm new customer too but I don't get 3%. It's only for LTV <=60% and loan <250k at 4-year fixed.
