Re: Thatched roof homes
Nice! It's fairly close to us; we're in Arlesey at the minute. But as WFH is more of a thing, being near a train station/A1 etc isn't as important as it once was. Ha, we're in Ickleford, give us a wave! :D Nice! Only a few miles away. Maybe we'll see you at one of the local meets when the weather i...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Without meaning to tempt fate, it's going very well! Perhaps even suspiciously so :lol: We put our home on the market and had a ton of interest. The agent ended up doing an open house and we accepted an offer of £20k over our guide price within about two weeks of it going live :shock: which was very...

Re: Advice sought
Cheers. Only issue I have is that the floors downstairs are all concrete, and they're only in the cavity of the extension - the rest of the house is fine (no cavity wall). We've had the one-way flap fitted right next to the extension, and we're considering chucking some poison in the wall/extension ...

Re: Advice sought
Cheers guys. That makes sense. We've not actually instructed a conveyancer yet, but if it isn't resolved quick, I'll disclose it to them for advice.

Alright all, May I ask for the forum wisdom on this issue? We've had multiple offers on our property, and are about to make a offer on the one we want. Issue I have is that yesterday, typically, my previously solved rat problem reoccurred. We can hear some scratching in the cavity of our extension. ...

Re: Coincidences
It's definitely an issue that needs addressing properly. DDD. 'Dogshit DNA Database' 'Dear Resident. We've analysed the Dog Shit you found outside your home through by running it through the council's state of the (f)art DDD system. I regret to inform you that the Shit in question is in fact your h...

Re: Fricking Lasers!
Tenner a go? Brilliant. Wonder what else we can shoot.. people not picking up their dog shit?
Laser weapons were always going to be the next breakthrough in warfare. And does this mean the UK is actually leading the way.
in something?

Cheers! Our home hits Rightmove, etc tomorrow.
Before I saw it I'd have scoffed at the idea of living in a pink house but I'm surprised at how much I like the colour

Re: Coincidences
I think pretty much all areas suffer this, and have done for a long time. Because people. The decent dog owners will rightfully complain about it, but the penalty for not clearing up is just a FPN issued on the spot (IIRC), and I imagine the amount of penalties issued is minuscule. It's definitely a...

Re: Coincidences
The residential areas in London though are fucking terrible for it. I reckon I’d be pretty good walking through the land mined parts of Ukraine as I’m forever watching my step and dodging mounds of shit. + Fox shit as apparently they're just cute little rascals and therefore no need to exterminate ...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Interesting, thanks. That sounds like a truly awful system with the surveyors. If I get rejected on those grounds, you can bet I'll be challenging it!

Re: Thatched roof homes
Indeed it is. We currently live opposite a village pub and HSBC were fine with that, and the last two people who put offers in also had a mortgage approved, but obviously I don't know who the bank was. I hope it will be ok, and that the surveyors incorporate some common sense.. Who would you say is ...

Re: TikTok Creativity Beta
What a load of absolute 'computer says no' BS. I get what they're saying about no wanting people to be able to change their location themselves, but the fact that TikTok themselves won't do it is just nonsensical. So they'd rather have a creator be operating with incorrect information? It's plain si...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Thanks for the comments, all. That was really helpful. Our own house is going on the market today/tomorrow (I'll pop a link in when it's live) and we're going with the same estate agent that the seller is using. We've been getting on really well with the agent and the seller, so fingers crossed we c...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Jobbo is spot on 8-) But yes, the bedrooms sharing the same access through is absolutely fine. I'll use it as an office type space and my partner will use it as a dressing room. We'll have sofa bed for the rare occasion someone comes to stay. Indeed, no interest in those other homes I'm afraid :lol:...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Ascender, appreciate that! It's a lovely little place. I've spoken to the bank and it all seems ok so far, but it looks like they'll want a proper survey done to make sure all is well, which is understandable.

Re: Thatched roof homes
Cheers Swerv! I'd actually noticed the same thing when viewing it on Google Maps. I wasn't sure if that type of drain was normal or not, but came to the same logical conclusion that you've mentioned there. Unfortunately you can't really see if it was there or not in the previous dated Map in 2009. I...
