I’m due with my second child in January and have been reflecting that it’s a shame you don’t do NCT or Bump & Baby with your second. We have some wonderful friends we met at baby class that my daughter has known since she was born, and I’d love my second daughter to have the same. I can’t see that a winter babies whatsapp group has been started so if anyone would like to join one please drop me a DM and I’ll put one together (or let me know if one exists!) Kate x -
Did the lease mention anything about mandatory floor coverings? Lots of flat leases do mention that, but it doesn’t stop people removing carpets in order to have bare floorboards. I’m mainly referring here to Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties. -
I'm hoping I don't regret this but I'm looking for cassette tapes but in good condition. The tape itself should be in good condition and preferably the box too. I have an old cassette tape player which I'd love to use again so if you have any and they've been felt forgotten and are looking for a new home please drop me a message and I might be able adopt them. Thanks very much. -
Property has been for a long time a good way to invest. When interest rates are low, even more so, as returns can be better than banks and the financial markets, and money is cheap to borrow. Some people are fortunate to come from money. Some are successful at work. Many of us inherit from parents or other relatives. Governments do take action from time to time. Mortgage tax relief, tax relief on landlords, inheritance tax and gifting (waiting Starmer) and stamp duty. The UK has also been historically a good place for overseas investors, including laundering dirty money. Over our lifetime most of us have seen is the widening gap between property owners and those unlikely to get on the housing ladder. Owning multiple properties has made this more stark. Family stayed in private accommodation in big university cities where we did when we were students. Except the four bedroom houses are now seven. You could argue that increasing multi tenant properties could help the housing shortage, even if this does benefit a few already well off landlords. Of course it could all collapse again. But unless Trump trashes global economies would always pick up. Personal interest? I once put an offer on a one bed flat with the thought of adding an upstairs bedroom, modest and a skylight which was permitted development in those days and not a major project. But ironically the current owners decided to stay and do this. That was a long time ago.
