Grafting

[Smartbear]

It’s hard work this being retired malarkey, in between runs to the dump/charity shop to clear the mountains of clutter I managed to give the garden a trim 8)
Not sure how I ever had time for “proper work”

That was me when I was on 3 shift. Getting up early after a night shift and enjoying a sunny afternoon in the garden.

Now I'm 2 shift and I'm lucky if I get 2 hours outside before my late shift starts

Earlies though 8) 8) I finish those at 2:20pm and manage to get home before the school run chaos begins.

Sorry to hear that, is it salvageable?

It looks like its slowly coming together. The solicitors asked me if it would be ok to continue without a copy of the leasehold as apparently it couldn’t be found anywhere (I’m buying a flat). Then I noticed the annual maintanence charge went up 70% from listed in the contract. They’ve needed a few nudges along the way just to move things forward too

Hopefully yours is goes smoothly

I extended the lease on my flat but needed to buy out the leaseholder with a collective enfranchisement, once that happened it’s pretty cheap to extend the lease to a thousand years so it’s never an issue again

As long as you extended an existing lease and not purchased a new 100 year one ?
A friend of mine has just done that with a company called Simarc and the ground rent went up to £350 pa which wasn't the issue. It was the small print that had the ground rent going up by the retail price index each year that was the problem, effectively doubling it every 10 years. Building Societies won't touch it now. Work it out and see how much your paying after 50 - 60 year and you will see why. It's frightening
