21% of Gross, 31% of Net currently. First home was pretty similar at the time before I got a pay rise. Going over all our finances this seems pretty reasonable. If I was renting it would likley be nearer 40% net for a lot less property - GP

Exchanged today! House insurance sorted on it, completion date is the 29th. Really glad to hopefully see the end od the last 20 months, it's been horrid. Already booked a few weeks off work to get the needed DIY/cleaning/decorating etc. and moving done. Countng down the days now - GP

Well that was a pain, but ive actually narrowed dow nthe issue to the undercoat. Back to normal spray cans... - GP

You have no idea how tempted I am. Unfortunately the little I have managed to glean indicates its capacity, I assume its simply them being tight and waiting as long as possible to increase the capacity at the POP. Honestly, the worst bit if their poor customer service more than anything. I'm...

So, problem started in November here. Current ETR: February 26th (Was November, then December, then January, Then February). Fantastic having to put up with this for 18h/day: Ive wasted about 8 hours over he last 3 weeks on hold getting through to them, then had theiur staff lie directly to...

Anybody else using Vallejo Game Color? The adherence of the Orange I have isn't great (Yellow and oranges are ofcourse notoriously bad). I have 3 thinned coats over a wash and its patchy and streaky still, and even with thin coats some of the detail is beginnign to be obscured. I'm going to try...

Finally had the Lease/Service details updated by the purchasers solicitors - took them 6 weeks and werent even going to do it until i pointed it out after they both tried to invoice me. The lease stipulated that it must be done within 4 weeks of purchasing the property off me - good for them to...

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time. - GP

This is where I wasn't sure. My Gp messages DO still have an opt-out message with them, hence being not sure. - GP

While I'm not familiar with the GDPR as much as some people and always open to be taught something, my initial point here is that I would say that's not right. Many sources such as : https://fastsms.co.uk/blog/sms-marketing-gdpr Indicate on point 3: "For SMS Marketing, this means including an...

Depends on what you want really. Certainly rail links aren't bad - Eridge goes through East Croydon to London so you cna certainly get places - GP

True. My gran lives near Bowles Outdoor Center in Eridge, just outside TW. It's perfect for her between TW and Crowborough, but its not exactly got a thriving vibe to it if you're under 70 - GP

My dads had one of the pictures by this guy in his Kitchen for years now he loves it! Its a nice style - GP

I do definitely want one, although it;s on the back burner now as the vendor for my new house is leaving all the white goods, so don't need one jsut yet. I also have a chest freezer going in the garage so mass storage, so that isn't an issue. Ill probably get one when the inside fridge or...

Amazing how many people live near me - I sold my flat near Kent House station (Beckenham) about 4 weeks ago, currently in West Wickham until my new place goes through in Biggin Hill! Sidcup/Bexley is nice and near transport, Petts Wood is OK but depends on the side of it. £200k isn't a lot of...

Sorry to hear that, however I think it's probably the right call - GP

All this sounds more and more like I'd be walking away at this point. - GP

Im not sure Id want to have that and the work haning over my head. Lets say somehting else goes wrong (Car, roof, windows or whatever), do you have savings to deal with it? If it pushes it back then it could be a long time or never. Pretty negative view but I wouldn;t want it hanging over me if...

Personally it feels like a bit of a risk, but that's my nature, others would see it as not a big deal. If you pulled out, whats your position on finding somewhere else? Will you suffer further costs if you dont find somewhere within a year (i.e. storage costs, increased rent or other...

If the extension comes down, is there a risk that you wouldn't get planning permission to do it properly? How important is it to your requirements on the house? It's one thing buying a place that needs a bit of work doing on your list, IMO those are items for houses that just need maintanance...
