    Extension and our gutters

    Well the council insisted we had a pitched roof and not a flat one, which meant we needed gutters on the sides and we didn't want to encroach on our old neighbour's land. Also meant we didn't end up with the soil pipe inside. I'll try to catch the new owner when he makes one of his fleeting...

    Extension and our gutters

    That's my concern, but they haven't even bothered to talk to me. My extension is just a few months old, and I really didn't want it messed with.

    Extension and our gutters

    Their plan is a flat roof with no side gutters.

    Extension and our gutters

    Because the space is 4.5m deep it's going to be very hard to keep it clear of debris. Shouldn't they be worried about breaches to their DPC?

    Extension and our gutters

    I have a 4.5m extension with a pitched roof on my end of terraced house. Our gutters do not encroach on our neighbour's land. We now have new neighbours and they have put in for a 6m extension with a flat roof that will go up to both side boundaries. This will leave us 15cm to be able to...

    Don't think any of them are required. Brother is quite relaxed about what I choose. I'd like an extension bigger than the 3m currently permitted, maybe 5m and wonder what the odds are getting it passed. If £42K is too much for the work specified above, I could ask for other additional work to be...

    Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

    A long story cut short - a bit. My kid brother, a professional builder, converted my mother's house from a chalet bungalow to a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3 living rooms plus utility room for him and his family to share the house. My older brother & I came to a decision as to the amount the house...

    I think they'd be happy to pay more tax if they never appeared in the papers ever. Think of it more as compensation than avoidance.

    There is a plus side - you should be able to claim mileage on your van http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/travel.htm. You don't claim from home to office, but from office to job, or home to job. Depending on how much travel is involved, it could work out at a lot more than the £100 per week that you...

    Starbucks,Amazon,ebay all tax dodgers

    The choice of which tax to opt for I would think would be down to gross profit margins, low - flat tax, high - turnover tax. They also severely restrict what expenses you can claim. The second link is the most interesting as it shows the increase of tax raised year on year. It means the rich...

    Is a Vaccum cleaner tax deductable?

    Yes, I'm an accountant, and yes on the VAT but get a Vax - they are so much more reliable.
