In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Did you miss a don't out of that sentenceAnotherJoe said:Is it more than 40 years old? Almost certain theres asbestos in the artex. No need to panic but again no need to pay someone to tell you that. Maybe mine does. I dont care, I plan to drill into the ceilings and inhale the dust so no worries.

If the boiler has been turned off and the water drained down you have to be very careful when turning the water back on.
We found out on moving day that our new home had a few radiators with the drain plug removed.
Oh we did laugh when water started pouring out all over the house.
Plumber out ASAP.
Good advice from others
Have a look at the Fusebox and see if has RCB,s
Plastic or Metal box with modern RCB,s ?
Three double sockets in each bedrooms ?0 -

Three double sockets in each bedrooms ?and why do people remove their washing machine from under the kitchen sink, and leave drain open? So as soon as you turn on the tap for that well-earned cuppa, water pours out down below.They could at least put a warning note in the sink.....
