Probably not what you want to hear, but please bear in mind also all the downsides of moving to Surrey / Hampshire. First of all, this is the only country I have seen where everyone will try to convince you that wherever they live is best. You will not find anyone who ever says "this place isn't gre...
The problem with these policies is they tend to be driven by ideology, not by evidence. How much additional congestion will result? What will be the impact on pollution? On journey times? On public transport? Let's start from an analysis of the impact of existing cycle lanes; my impression is they a...
In the end we got these guys https://awewindows.com/ to install PVC windows in the rooms overlooking the back garden. They met the timeline they promised (4 weeks) and did a very good job. I'd recommend them. We don't yet know what we'll be doing for the windows overlooking the main road, but we'r...

Very good service, they charged about £1,500 including packing. At the time the cheapest quote (£1k) was Roberts & Denny...
@danishmum3, and how much do you pay for the management charge? Has it gone up over the years? I know of many newbuilds without a pool where the charge is easily between £2.5k - £4k, without a pool, and with a separate fee if you want to access the gym. I imagine you are not paying less than £4k? @O...
May I ask why you find they are worth every penny? To each their own, of course, whether you like a property or not is subjective, however there are a number of non-subjective things potential buyers must be aware of before buying, especially if they have never bought before (the OP might buy in th...
May I ask how much it cost? Any electrician would be able to install access points on the ceiling and run cables, but would typically leave the configuration and set up to you, whereas I presume these guys took care of both installation and configuration?
