we are currently looking at this too, but she has cats and not all will accept them, plus its money and being able to afford it

'white flight'? she hates living where she is. would she entitled to share ownership as a cash buyer

not sure if I am in the right place, but I am enquiring on behalf of a friend. she lives in Cumbria and wants to move down to Derbyshire. she has her own house but it isn't a lot of money, she will be lucky to get £60,000 for it. unfortunately there isn't much to chose from in Derbyshire so she...

if she cannot get a certificate from this electrician, who should she complain to and what company would list the names of certified electricians?

thank you for that. I wasn't going to speak to this electrician on her behalf, I was only finding out who she should get in touch with to get the paper work. I know she hasn't spoken to the electrician herself only the builder who brought him in to do the work in the first place. obviously this...

thank you will pass this info onto my friend

I know his name, not sure about a company name and address but he is local and I can hopefully get the details from either my friend or the builder who recommended him. the job was done in the spring about april-may time

i am writing on behalf of my friend who has moved house and has had most of the house rewired. the trouble is she hasn't had any paperwork for the job. who would I get in touch with to find out to see if this 'electrician' is certified? the lady is nearly 80 and I think really doesn't know what...

thank you

I do know someone who is or used to be on the planning committee, it might be an idea to ask them. the dormers I want to put in would only be the size of the skylights so not big and hopefully with a pitched roof on so I don't think it would be ugly, but obviously that depends on what the...

I currently have two skylights in my converted loft, which is my bedroom. as well as not being able to look out of them, I also have the problem that if it rains especially if it is either heavy or windy, the rain comes into my bedroom and soaks my bed if they are left open. I was wondering if I...

I didn't realise you had to have planning permission for chicken houses, they must be big

I think I will stick to skylights, if I got planning permission and had the dormers I would have to move radiators and it will cost. I am hoping to use the existing skylights in the ensuite and maybe on in the back of the roof of the bedroom. anyone got any idea how much larger skylights will...

that's sounds better sizewise I will mention this to the builder when I get this done. I would have thought there is more likely that you wont get rain in either, like you do with the central pivot. anyone got any idea how much this could cost me?

thank you very much for the info and advice. I hope to use the current skylights in the ensuite that I also have there, as it has no windows, so they wont go to waste and they are only about 7-8 years old. maybe putting the top pivot windows in and maybe a little larger I will be able to see...
