re-set and levelled the brick paviors put a bit of feather edge on the rear wall and all supervised by Mr Tigger

apparently so - but I wouldn't like to guarantee it...........??

Ok - bit of an update and slight halt to the progress thanks to Ebized, who pointed out planning restrictions - reminded me to check 1. whether i had planning (because it needed it) and 2. it looks too close to the road So the result was - I checked my original planning 15 years ago when i built the house and had allowed for a car port here, the only problem was, I did have it shown in line with the building !! Only option then was to cut a metre off so here's the results to date - still a bit more to do I don't think i want it to blow away !!

erm.......unlikely...try more like 10-15years

Before the 13th December is it totally FREE, survey, admin, instulation everything but after that date the goverment has or will lower the buy back of electricity to 21kw(43kw at moment) so the companies are not going to make such profits hence then charge you for instulation, panels and other things. Pimm - not strictly correct - some may charge for it after that date but its unlikely. The funding for the supply & installation is largely from banks and investors - they will still get a better return on their money, so the advice is that it will still be free fitment etc

yes - although they are getting better (average stated life was about 15years - its now upto about 20) they are - its their panels - not yours

Also a point to note - on the whole the "free" scheme will only be offered if the location for the panels is south facing and with no shading from trees or buildings etc but yes - its free fitting as well (normally)

that goes for not putting your house as "home" in the satnav - you know where you live - just put your town perhaps ?

thats called "trolling" !!! (we need a waggy naughty finger smilie )

My audi TT used to do this - I cured it by getting rid !!

what is the "accurate" cc of the 370 engine - have to enter it on my mileage claim sheets

+1 although out of preference I'd move well away from TalkTalk

renting to students earns you nearly twice as much rent as you would expect from a family or a professional. The house is slap bang in the middle of a university area so renting to students is the wisest option. To be fair all the students I've rented to so far have been great! The only headache is having to find a new set of tenants every academic year as they don't tend to stick around longer than one year. I have found a lot of them tend to find girlfriends/boyfriends they decide to move in with When the new tenants move in, you have to go through the inventory and other check-in procedures again which can be a pain. Finding the tenants is not an issue as a university owned lettings agency does that for me. As the house is rented on a multiple occupancy (a contract per room), I have to find a group of 4 friends each year as it has 4 bedrooms. For the past 2 years 1 random person has joined with a group to form a group of 4. This could be risky just incase they don't get along! So far however, it has worked out fine. Also just to add, the university lettings agency has laid out strict rules with regards to renting out the property: - Hard wired smoke alarms on each floor and a carbon monoxide sensor in the kitchen. - All furniture has to abide by fire regulations. - All rooms have to either have a escape window or a fire door. - Valid EPC and gas safety certificates - All electrical appliances have to be PAC tested. - Deposits have to be protected through an external agency (ie MyDeposits). - The property has to be fully furnished (This includes bed, desk, chair and wardrobe in the bedrooms. Kitchen has to have a washing machine and all essential appliances and white goods. The communal room needs to have sofa seating enough for the number of tenants and a dinner table etc. Some or all of these apply to normal landlords too but they tend to be stricter with student landlords. There you go, you got your long winded explanation Are there any other student landlords on here? EPC's are my role - so you can add another trade to the long list of occupations on here on a side note - you said your cousin can "do" electrics - as you have to provide Electrical Periodic Test - this must be done in accordance with the 17th Edition of the IEE regs - if he isn't qualified - you may have problems ??

You fixed it !! ?? its there now -

I remember one woman saying that the police had "ripped her friends face off" Wtf
