Do you know what the contractor charged the insurers?

We'll see. Re nationalising the railways has public support, it's a no cost solution

If there is no dpm under the slab the damp rises through the floor and bridges the dpc, albeit isolated in your case. Damp can appear in some areas and not in others even though the same conditions apply. Probably best to observe it over the next six months or so.

The most right wing government since the war. A labour administration would have borrowed and invested heavily in public infrastructure. The sorry continuation of thatcher The opposition has gone centre right in order to win, instead of going left; starmy’s lot will be tied into that for five...

If its not a damaged pipe, then possibly damp coming through from under the slab inside the outhouse especially if this doesn't presumably have a dpm. The finished floor level is at or above the top of the dpc.

Nothing at all, it’s because there isn’t enough social housing.

Sounds dodgy, the party at fault should have paid his costs

Not clear where the sewer pipe runs, but could be a leaking water supply pipe, possibly disturbed when removing tne conservatory/adding the new slabs

Doesn't no win no fee mean you don't pay your lawyers fees if you lose but do have to pay the other sides, thats the risk.

Ten per cent seems to be the going rate. One factor is labour say they will bring in a ban on no fault eviction, there would be exceptions but it is something to consider. The advantage of an agent is that they relieve you of the hassle of dealing with issues during the tenancy. Read the small...

Lol. It wouldnt make strategic sense to announce it before the outcome of the locals was known, in fact the government would be irrational and incompetent to do that......

Grapevine

General election 4th July apparently

You would expect it to be like that as plaster or even brick would have been removed when installing the tray. So long as it is properly sealed again and there is no damp or rot in the joists it shouldn’t be a problem

I don't oppose the principal of redistribution of wealth through tax, although historically many tax hikes and new forms of tax have been to fund wars. But a single home family should be able to pass that on to their kids

Just look at house prices in the south east and other hot spots,. Plenty of property well over £325k, and in many cases over a million. People who worked hard to own their home should be able to pass it on to their kids. People are getting wealthier, that number will shoot up. Income tax is a...

There is an argument for ending it altogether, the super rich have all sorts of ways to avoid it with complex trusts on and off shore. For joe bloggs the £325k threshold is low, so maybe exempt the family home. It seems wrong to tax death when people have already paid tax on money invested into...

I would use something metal with as low a profile as practicable, that can be firmly fixed to the floor to minimise it being kicked out of place again.

Her late Majesty did a deal with inland revenue after the Windsor castle fire iirc, and Charles now pays income tax, but not IHT on what he inherited. It's not a system you start with from scratch, but what's the point of the royal family if they work out of a portakabin?

The hard work of their parents or other relatives, why should that be taxed again?
