Re: Worried for my daughter and her about to be trust fund fiancee

Get legal advice. And if this looks like being an issue consider whether it may be worth exploring a pre-nup for both parties. At least everyone knows where they stand.

Re: Any experience with Community Fibre? Reliable? Or price too good to be true?

Installed CF about 3 months ago after they cabled our road. Got rid of Virgin who had provided a dreadful service. Excellent experience. We opted for the cheapest package as there are only 2 users in the house and we aren’t into gaming which uses a lot of bandwidth. Installation was v quick and we’v...

Re: Shared ownership of a holiday home

I shared a narrowboat with a very good friend. We had it built from scratch with both of us contributing to the design. He and his wife have 3 children, I have two. We both contributed 50% of the purchase price and then agreed that mooring fees etc would be split 50/50. More importantly we set up a ...

Re: Domestic violence

My ex wife had a severe drink problem (still does but is managing it with AA). She slapped me once. I gave her fair warning that if she ever did it again it would be the end of our marriage. About three weeks later, when my then 82 year old father was staying with us, she completely lost her temper ...

Re: Red card for Mayor over his football stadium decision

Normally, I would agree that Merton should make decisions about construction within its boundaries, but in this instance the construction is taking place on the very limits of the Merton boundaries and the effects will be felt most strongly within Earlsfield where we will have all of the football fa...

Re: Gazumping - can I live with myself

Economically right but morally wrong in my opinion. Sure it's allowed but that does not mean it should happen. If this was France you would have to pay 10% of the purchase price to the buyer to pull out of the deal. Mind you they would have paid the same to secure the price by now. Go ahead and take...

Buyer normally pays. 2. You don't even pay 20% on building work as we do here in the UK. You pay 7.5% VAT instead...
