Hi all, ive been using crown matt emulsion, the big tubs for ceilings and walls, problem is im finding it hard to get it to cover anything. For example on a white ceiling, small marks say a faint pencil mark are taking a good few coats to cover. This normal? I think i had this problem with one...

Really indepth reply thank you for taking the time. Will definetely take the thoughts onboard and will do a bit more research now. Thanks

To be fair no not really, it took us about a year to find our property because in our area to have the amount of land we wanted chances are we would be adding another 100-200k on top so we bought this house for exactly the reason that it has potential to adapt it over the years to deliver...

Hi there, sorry if this is the wrong section of the forum, I wasn't sure where best to put it. This may be a real noddy question, it's just something I've never done. We've just moved into a new house, and we're trying to plan ahead for the future, i.e where we will change walls, doors...

So in theory, if I buy the house, move in, driveway falls down because of this problem, we're covered? Is there anything else I can realistically do to gain reassurance/cover, because I'm a bit twitchy on the subject.

The problem is,were soon to be moving into a new house, we recently saw next door have done some extensive ground works and they have dug down say 4ft deeper than our driveway or maybe more at the side of our drive and potentially the house (potentially only as ive not seen right round the back...

As above really, current owners of a house arent sure if they ever had one, but i would like to see if one was ever served to a property? Do you know if this is possible? Thanks

What happens when the covenant is releated to an estate? Which I assume is a group of people, how can I find out who? The people on the deed who appear to have registered the covenant, as i say, one appears to have dissolved and I don't know who the other people are or how to get in touch with...

Hi, thanks for the information, oh, this is looking harder than I first expected. I was under the impression I could just apply and get the covenant completely removed some how?

Hi there, this is the letter I sent to my solicitor regarding a house we are in the process of buying. ####### We have been looking at the deeds again/charges register which stipulate a few covenants in place. The one that is of concern to us is (d) regarding erecting any building basically in...

Hi there, Apologies for this being such a magnitude of questions in one go, but I have the potential to move pretty quickly with a new house, as a house to live in only for our family, not as a rent etc. The house we are thinking of buying has lots of drive space and garden space, and whilst...

Hi, when we moved into our house it had a conservatory on it, old and cheapish and pretty basic. This served a purpose but we wish to use it for a bit of a playroom. We are only thinking of living here a year before we sell up and move elsewhere so no point in starting again really, so am...

Hi there, im a bit confused about a drive boundary issue, if you look at the photo you will see the drive boundary doesnt match the wall location,almost like the right side of image ie my drive has taken some of next doors drive, even though it has been like this when we moved in over 5 years...

Anyone got any ideas please, or is this the wrong place to ask? Thanks

Theres not much gap at all, i think i would have to fit to the inside of the window or batten above and below it? Im taking the window out and replacing with glass blocks and also getting rid of the window sill and replacing with a flush one Heres a photo anyway...

Ive hit a potential issue, the piping that has been done is right upto the window therefore i cant put the woofen batten up on the one wall, unless i do it inside the recessed window if that makes sense? A drawing is http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/Thyjones/84db88ef.jpg but if a...
