Letter from Thomson Broadbent about overhead electricity lines

Kez100

I won't claim for anything. If I didn't have a pole there I probably wouldn't have any electric or phone or whatever it is! It was a question directed at Compensation Bloke who says in post above mine

If there is only a wayleave in place you have the ability to claim.

hi guys,

i would like some advice i also recieved a letter and i replyed to it and ive just been offered £4000,:T ive been asked to sign to say there solicitors can deal with sorting my pay out, i do have the option to use my own solicitor, do i use theirs or mine?, does any one no how much theirs charge? ive tried rining today but no answer so ive emailed them asking them to ring me back with said info.

Is it to late for me to chase my claim with my own solicitor so i get 100% of the claim? or do i just take what i can as i never expected to get anything so 90% of somet is better than 100% of nothing lol.

also guys how quick was it for you to get your hands on the cash lol

what do you all think.

cheers steve

In Dec we accepted about £30K for a bypass that was built near our house now just waiting for council to pay out.

Anyone know how long this bit takes?

Does anyone get the feeling that the one post wonders are her? It isn't the usual 'satisfied customer of company X' piffle. It's more subtle posts dangling the prospect of £'000's

I was scepticle about getting anything my family were completely dissmisive. I thought why not?

£33,600 (i looked up the figure) is not to be sniffed at all for a couple of letter's and one surveyor coming round.

There is one down side to all this the compensation is firstly offered to the mortgage company if the property is subject to a mortgage. They normally decline unless you have missed payments or are in negative equity. But even if the mortgage company take the compensation it would still reduce your mortgage payments significantly.

The reason the mortgage company has first dobs on the money is that if someone has awarded you £30k as compensation, that is because the property is worth £30k less than it would have been if the works had not taken place.

The mortgage company will review this in the light of the original valuation. Unless you have built up a large equity in the property since purchase, then I would expect the lender to take that money as the value of the surety is £30k less than what they thought it was.

Don't forget, that also means you'd get £30k less should you try to sell the property. (compared to as if the works had not been carried out)

Yes i agree with you you are quite right, i totally agree.

I am quite lucky bought place for 410 whilst bypass was being built year later bypass opened and this was when house prices peaked so was valued at 460 then i put a 80K extension on and did major improvements (all in the 80K), Just had it valued at 600K.

Looks like i did the savy move at the right time (and my mortgage is under 20% of the value of property)

I always seem to buy and sell at the right time, only luck not judgement.

but i do always buy a wreck if i can see the possibilities, and no i do not buy and sell to make money just to increase size of property and a better location, My job(or circumstances) have forced a move every 5-8 year's

thanks for your additional comments you were spot on.

i totally agree.
