Q:I'm exchanging and completing on the same day next week, anything I should be aware of or need to know in advance? Reason is that its a new build and I was one of the last to buy.
Q:I'm going to buy a house with a friend and then convert into two separate flats which we will both live in.
I guess there are all sorts of complications with this….Any advice as to what should I be thinking about would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks
A:normally i would agree about the lack of inventory – but, this was a brand new property when alex moved into it.
A judge will for sure take this into consideration when deciding if stains/marks etc are fair wear and tear or not.
i agree it is unreasonable to insist on "professional cleaners".

Q:We are thinking of moving to the Muswell Hill area but OH works in Docklands – no, sadly not in one of those fancy ￡￡￡ bonus jobs
anyone out there do the northern line highgate to bank tube on a daily basis? Or even Muswell Hill to Canary Wharf?

Q:Hi Everyone,
We are supposed to exchange any day and were planning to move next friday, but the only thing holding us all up is a response to a letter that our solicitor sent to our managment company with a query on 18th July. We are selling a leasehold one bed flat. Our solicitor has been trying to contact them for over 2 weeks, as have we and our estate agents. All we can do is leave message upon message on their answer phone or leave a message with the secretary when she eventu
Q:Hello,
I hope someone can help.
We are due to move out of the fully furnished flat we are renting in less than a month.

Q:Saw a property yesterday and it was under offer and it seems to be back on right move and on the EA website. Is there any way to know whether it is back on the market and for what reason?

Q:Hi,
We've just seen a house we really like and are wondering when the best time to make an offer is. The situation is that the house has been recently put back on the market after a buyer pulling out (due to finding somewhere they preferred – no indication it was due to bad survey or anything like that).

Our house is being put on the market f
Q:Over here in NI we are experiencing record property price inflation. How does one move up the ladder in such situations?
Is it better to wait until the market cools to avoid bidding wars?
Is it better to buy asap as the amount of money required to move up the ladder will keep increasing?
Is money better spent on an extension/ attic conversion to improve the accommodation in the short term?
I hope you can give some advice!
