So you can put that little faux-halo away.

Agree with the above... if anyone wanted to know why people find the cycle-evangelists a pain in the **** then this thread pretty much explains all.

If that is correct, Langly Homes are in for a legal tussle to get the covenant removed. I can't see that happening.

I'd be rather surprised if the majority of people seeing that house were sporting "range rovers, labradors and barbour coats". In fact, I'd guess it was a number close to zero.

A sachet of Resolve and two Berocca in a glass of water. You'll be a new person in 30 mins.

Hopefully?

Agree with Otta - when we first looked to move intra-ED back in 2006 I could not believe that for a half a million we couldn't find somewhere you could swing the proverbial cat in (well, without giving it a very nasty head injury). ED is a lovely place, but a lot of the housing stock is rather smallish.

In my limited experience, there are really crap, vague surveys and then there are the professional, properly written ones. The first type you generally get from the people you get via the mortgage provider - the ones that do the valuation, but you can 'trade up' to the housebuyers report. These are generally 90% cut and paste jobs with a few details filled in. My last one was so bad they even counted the number of rooms incorrectly! I complained, got my money back and got another one done via a friend's recommended surveyor. Go through a specialist surveyor and get a proper one. It'll cost a hundred quid or so more, but since the vague ones are essentially worthless then it's money well spent. If you need a recommendation, PM me and I'll see if I can dig out the details.

Some of these made me laugh out loud... http://justsomething.co/the-39-funniest-animal-photobombs-of-all-time/

We seem to have the whole recommendation love triangle coming onto this thread at once. The suspicions grow deeper...

I'm not admin! But, there is always forum sponsorship if you want to keep your customers informed.

They are there - click on your name in the last post you made and you'll see them.

I'd guess you transgressed the "Businesses can post about themselves once for free." rule.

I have to say, the continued re-recommendations are starting to look a bit suspicious.

Marcus Brigstocke is funnier than this. That's how bad it is.

OK... people who make lazy posts, then.

I dunno - it's pretty much exactly what we did, except we did it in mid-2011. The price of the new house has gone up by about 30% since then. We couldn't afford it now.
