I have been toying with the idea of temperature and humidity monitoring for flats. It needs to be good quality for accuracy and linked to software which can record values 24/7. This could also be linked to wifi so that...

Pennycook as he calls himself is an ambitious MP with delusions of grandeur. He will toe the line, support anything the party wants as he did with Angela. He is another political graduate with no technical knowledge or ability. High...

Lewisham are one of the worst councils and terrible Freeholder. External work on our flat (Victorian house conversion) in Lewisham is shoddy, unsupervised. Impossible to speak to anybody and if you do you cannot understand them. Stupid, incompetent and waste...

The Climate Committee is advisory. Secondly Dear Ed stated in a recent Parliamentary committee meeting on Net Zero that he "would not force people to have heat pumps instead of efficient gas boilers. Technology and prices will get better." He...

How does that work when you hire a car abroad? Are you paying off the cost of the car for the hirer? What about that holiday hotel in Brighton? Paying off the mortgage on the hotel? Perhaps we should remove...

All sounds great but these schemes are always partially subjective, open to interpretation and definitely open to abuse. My friend just visited from the south coast and works for the LA there on this very issue. She is subject to...

Best would be to find an Assessor, tell him what you are doing and negotiate a deal that he comes to assess with the intention of the improvements and see what his calculator comes up with. At the end of...

Reply to the comment left by Tessa Shepperson at 25/09/2024 - 12:15The EPC process is a bit of a joke. Very inaccurate and relying on opinions on certain items. There are stories of assessors needing to cut holes in walls...

Reply to the comment left by Property One at 25/09/2024 - 11:55I have been using the Soler & Palau range. They have silent fans (around 25dBA), they have PIR versions in most sizes and highest flow for the size range...

Reply to the comment left by Nick C at 25/09/2024 - 10:52Good advice Nick and I would add we upgrade all our fans. Contractors tend to use cheap, poor quality extractors link to a light switch. These are useless and...

Reply to the comment left by Tessa Shepperson at 25/09/2024 - 10:37But Tessa, they want to change the law so you cannot discriminate against who you let it to. We carefully vet and decide who we are willing to allow...

Tessa, I am sure most of what you say is good advice in an ideal world and you can throw the law book at landlords and make their life even more miserable. The truth is most landlords do take all...

It is great you are helping these situations and obviously did well here. But it still does not address the core problem. Citizens living on Universal Credit. It just perpetuates it. maybe in this case there are circumstances where this...

How does this save the taxpayer money? Your post states you increased benefits by £300pm. Then you negotiated (?) another £200pm towards rent. Was not aware social services were negotiable. Then managed to get another discretionary payment to top it...

Then a vote for LDs, Greens or other smaller parties is a wasted vote too? We have to be brave, stick together and start the process of change. Labour just promised to reduce knife crime to half over the next...

Reply to the comment left by T C at 17/06/2024 - 14:06It has to start somewhere. You cannot go from zero to Government overnight. But a large contingent like SDP might have some influence. Apart from Unionists from NI, it's...

Reply to the comment left by T C at 15/06/2024 - 13:13It's deeply worrying when people present the Guardian newspaper as the view we should take note of, when it is unashamedly left wing and a right wing hater newspaper....

Not wasted Stella. It sends a message. There is a silent majority who will vote Reform but are afraid to say due to the picture painted by far left and the Guardian readers that Reform is racist, bigoted etc. I...

Same set of promises based on hatred of the landlord sector. Nobody sees this as a private business between landlord and tenant. What does it have to do with them? Many of the older properties like some of mine were...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 28/05/2024 - 17:34No chance of Labour/Reform agreement. No LibDem will do quite well because nobody wants to vote L or C. So that will bring a labour/LibDem coalition. But my money...
