How to find out who owns land?
I have an outstanding parking ticket that I'm having help with on another thread. I've been trying for weeks to find out who owns the land the car park is on. I went to the land registry and got a copy of the title deed and it turned out to be the land right next to it. I've phoned the shop (Home Bargains, Nat Lane,…

Nest thermostat thinks we're Away, when we're not
Don't know whether this is linked to the lastest IOS update, which mentioned they were fixing bugs with Airtag locations, but yesterday when we came home, the Nest didn't recognise we were here. We didn't notice it until 2 hours after the heating was due to come on, that it seemed cold in our lounge where the thermostat…

EDF Gas Smart Meter issues (ongoing...)
We have a smart meter with EDF for gas and electricity It’s been working ok for years. We pay monthly direct debit whole amount. In December 2024 I thought the debit was a little low but didn’t think too much about it. In January 2025 again, I saw a low debit so checked our EDF account and saw that the gas meter was only…

Transferring a SIPP - fund in one go or several chunks?
I've opened a SIPP and will be transferring in a personal pension. It will have to be a cash rather than an in-specie transfer. It's unclear exactly how long I will be out of the market, but a couple of weeks looks like a fair estimate. I thought doing this as say 4x separate chunks would help smooth out any market dips or…

Compromised Gift Cards
Hi all, first thread so please bear with me! In December I received 4 Xbox gift cards, x2 for a birthday and x2 for Christmas presents.

Early-retirement wannabe
I would like to create a topic (don't see it at the moment - other than the NUMBER thread). Who is aiming for early retirement (or who has retired early already)? When did you begin planning and what drove the decision? What is the strategy for getting there? How much of a relative decline in income are you prepared to…

Secure Parking solutions
Hi all, hope all is well. Bit of advice as to if I have a case at all to fight against a PCN. Recently had a NtK issued for a carpark that I wasn't actually parked in. I was parked for 5 minutes on the turn off from the main road that leads into the carpark whilst popping in to pick up a takeaway.. Now this is a common…

Well, there was yet another misty and bleak start in North Notts today (Thursday), but my SSW 3.92 kWp system was generating around 3kW for just a few minutes…

Hello! Viewed this property and considering putting in an offer - however, we are FTB and more than a little clueless (/learning slowly!). It would be so great to get some opinions from folks who have been round the block. It seems like a reaonable price for the area, places seem to go from around thw £180,000 mark up to…
