Hi there, I'm just after some advice. 5 years ago, I got a fixed term 5 year mortgage at 2.9%, which ends in January. A few months ago, out of no where, my long term partner of 10 years decided he wanted to break up and sell the flat. I managed to convince him to see the mortgage out, and the drop in flat prices in the…

Hi all, I am aware that we shouldn't fill up the forum with cases, but I thought I'd make a post as I have searched the forum and can't find anything specific to my case and need to know ASAP what move to make. I received a ticket from ParkingEye a year or so ago for parking in a local carpark after hours. I was in the…

Hi all, I’ve been sitting on this stable renovation for two years now, and the delay has made it more challenging than I expected. The reason for the holdup? I’ve been busy with a garage renovation, which is now 90% complete. But it’s time to shift gears and get this stable sorted before it falls apart! Current Condition:…

We have probate and a property currently operating as an Airbnb is now being moved as per the will to the beneficiary. The solicitor has advised that this may take up to a year as the Land Registry is running behind and prioritising actual sales. I have seen positive input from the Land Registry on this forum and I know…

Hi, opinions/sense check please! I have triggered the MPAA, therefore, I can only pay in £10K instead of £60K to my D.C. pension without incurring a tax charge. I am a higher rate tax payer, 61 years old and still employed. I believe the lesser of the two evils is to keep paying into the pension & just suck up the tax…

Hello all I have a budget of up to £800 for a 4K TV My only criteria is that I want the TV screen size to be between 53-61inch and be 4K. I am looking at between Hisense & LG TV’s. Now I know Hisense is probably a more budget friendly option and you get more for your money, but does that necessarily mean it is the worst…

You can sell your art/craft to clear debts or book a holiday or just to help with the declutter. Just before xmas my art supplies were moved to a storage unit to allow us to floor the studio so i can move in Absolutely horrified i could open a shop mainly gifts or cheap buys but either way need to get it cleared so plan to…

I have read all viable threads here. Is this NTK POFA compliant? I feel like the grounds I would be attempting POPLA on are going on a bit of a limb, APCOA already denied a internal appeal where I tried the usual liability not converting as you are not POFA compliant. It's the first possibly APCOA compliant NTK i've seen.…

Good Morning All, I’m back once again but this time I’ve received an LBC from Oak Legal Services which from reading on the forum sound like another scamming company! Context: Received a parking ticket whilst watching a friend play football which never used to have parking charges. 1) No signs upon entering the facility to…

Not me - asking on behalf of (older) friends who are normally quite savvy, but..... 4 bed house with a dorma window (nowhere near London or South East) They were concerned about mould in their bathroom, so asked a local builder to have a look at it. He promptly declared that their whole roof was on the verge of total…

Hi all, I recently got a PCN through from Gatwick drop off I stupidly forgot to pay the drop off this time!! - its new supplier is Times Parking a member of IPC.

Hi I was hoping if someone can help me. I had a hospital appointment and was looking for parking for around 30 mins. I was late for my appointment in the end. I finally found parking in the multi storey. I have a blue badge and parked in a blue badge bay. I paid for the parking as it was easier to pay than try and claim…

PCN/Invoice was issued whilst vehicle was parked in the allocated bay for their household, This is directly outside the RK's house. Resident permit was in the vehicle, but not on display in the windscreen. Signage on opposite side of street gives T&Cs for parking, which includes displaying valid resident's permit in the…

Hey guys, I got a letter from APCOA about a fine I got from the Manchester Airport short-stay car park. I didn't receive the letter till after the 14 days had passed. This meant I had to pay the full fine instead of the £60. I have appealed this but haven't heard anything back from them. I also want to note that I didn't…

Hi, I should probably explain why I’m asking. I’m looking into whether there are recurring problems in probate and inherited-property sales that are only discovered after a buyer is already involved. I’ve spoken to a few buyers and conveyancers and heard examples involving old ownership issues, missing deeds, historic…
