I’d be suprised if you needed a build over for a patio or shed - it’s unlikely to affect a sewer or lateral drain. Welsh Water specify a need for an extension, annexe, conservatory or garage. If the Water Authority did need to access the pipework the cost to re-instate is minimal.

It was down 0.5% the day after the general election. A damning indictment of the Labour win. Or just the general fluctations of an index, it’s difficult to decide.

It’s not so much the price rise (a little inflation in most things is seen as good) but the rate of the rises that it fuels. i can’t quote peer reviewed evidence, but let me give an example from an area I know, Salcome, Devon. Salcombe has become a tourist hotspot, and fights with Sandbanks...

Because people buying second homes push up prices, meaning that people without any homes can’t afford to buy one.

Well Strictly isn't on today so they had a spare slot on the Home page.

If it had just been 2 courses of bricks you might have got away with it - although it wouldn’t be right. With the roof trusses sitting above as well, I’d be wanting a lintel.

It’s not censored, it’s been prioritised. With only so much space on the home page, and with the Editors deeming other stories more important, it has been given a space on an alternative (appropriate) page. If it had been censored it wouldn’t be on the BBC at all.

HMRC recognises this as an issue, particularly where an estate is largely made up of property which also cannot be liquidated easily, and allow IHT to be deferred for 10 years. That’s probably enough time to sort out business assets, even at £20M.

The second link quotes the medic as working at a Hezbollah hospital - so fily’s description of a ‘Hezbollah Medic’ doesn’t seem inaccurate.

Why not just post the link and claim the win?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t think the article answered the headline.

I just used loft insulation between the rafters, and stapled roof membrane to the bottom of the rafters. But plenty of underfloor ventilation is key.

You’re going to struggle to get the boards to butt up tight to each other and you won’t be able to tape the joints. I’d be surprised if your Building Inspector accepts it.

She should be giving you an oppurtunity to fix the snags. Not redo all the work for 5% lessthan agreed. Write it off, or follow the advice about further action - but don’t get drawn into silly games.

Neither of you can claim professional fee’s as part of the claim in fhe small claim track (In a minority of the parking ticket claims Defendants have been able to claim £18/hr for their time, but usually when the parking company have been ‘unreasonable’). The process is so simple that...

Don’t rule out past bodges, even at the time of construction. I’ve just excavated a gully, expecting to connect my new extension into the surface water drain; only to find that I have a gully that isn’t connected to anything and all the rainwater has been draining into the soil right next to...

See if Thames Water have a handy guide to help. This is a picture from the Welsh Water equivalent, with which I’m too familar!, but broadly if your neighbours have full width extensions they wouldn’t give permission for another full width extension and would expect space to be left for an...

Ok, but I believe that the Council shouldn’t waste Taxpayers money by compiling long and unnecessary explanations for decisions that they make, where that decision only affects a very small number of people. I understand that the issue may be important to you, but that doesn’t mean it’s worthy...

If you’ve got 100mm PIR in the cavity then you probably don’t need anything else internally.

I doubt the Planning Oficers even check the BR sign off. In all likelihood the only way they ever know if something has been built differently to the application is if a disgruntled neighbour makes a complaint. The officer signing off the Building Regs is only interested is whether it has been...
