If you are under 75 a private covid jab will set you back £80 - £115.

If it’s the supply you want then it’s nothing at all to do with your items A & B.
-
Not sure about the word “input” - do you mean outflow / waste ? Red figure A looks like the sink overflow. If B is the washing machine outflow then that’s where you want your Y fitting. ( assuming all above conjecture is correct). I’d put a cap on that chrome threaded dead connection too. Don’t just rely on the valve. It all looks a bit of a mess TBH 🫣.

Wood Vale shops and facilities - where have they gone
George Orwell replied to malumbu's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I think the sub Post Office closed in 2014 - my photo is dated 2015. There's a plaque high up on the wall calling the parade - Moore Park Terrace. Many. many years ago there was betting shop in the extreme left end premises too. The garage sometime in 2014. -
It seems to belong to someone with the initials J A I. -
Look for a "Share of Freehold". . . . . and maybe wait until this hysteria about beating the planned raised stamp duty date passes. It's happened before - folk rush in to beat the tax rise so the house prices rise and immediately drop back. PS Try Sydenham.

Fully battery powered Tram ? / Buses ? / Trolley Buses ? at Crystal Palace apparently. https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/londons-bus-route-358-debuts-electric-buses-with-tram-inspired-design-77202/

192.com shows there is a Victoria Appleby in the road. I don't pay for the full 192.com package so can't advise any more.

It's a Supra C500 Key safe. PS The instructions say to not fix it to a rendered wall as it's not guaranteed to be secure. Instead fix it directly to brickwork. So fortunately, hacking off the render may give you enough room to get a blade into the gap to cut the 4 screws https://thekeysafecompany.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/11000114715-supra-c500-pro-keysafe-installation-help

Doubt if it's a scam - more likely a mistake by a messy contractor. Its a top quality key safe - there are cheaper ones available.

But it seems you do get a live-in cook / kitchen hand / helper with the second house 😀.

I will add my vote for Gdansk. Also, take to boat trip to the peninsula where WW2 broke out. The first WW2 action was here.

Piles, piles and piles of fun 😀. -
Like I have been saying : Steer well clear - Lambeth Council refunded £1.5m to 'gagged' leaseholders https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv22x59zlxzo

Buying house with historic subsidence
George Orwell replied to olis's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Get a specialist structural engineer’s report and then try and get insurance or try to take over the existing owner’s insurance. I really don’t like the observation “ normal seasonal movement”. Clay soil expands when wet and shrinks when it dries. So you would expect garden walls, patios and the like to move up and down a bit between seasons - but not a house with adequately deep foundations. -
We’ve had our home insured with them for maybe 5 years now - always through a broker. Initially via Wesleyan (Finance ?) Insurance Brokers and currently via Adrian Flux. Renewal time is approaching so I’ll be giving all the brokers listed in this thread a chance.
-
I used Adrian Flux Brokers - I got a decent quote (Watford Insurance Co.) and they didn't want a survey - just a declaration of no cracks etc.

Congestion Charge to Victoria
George Orwell replied to mary123's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
You’ll be fine - just don’t turn right (east) anywhere 😃 -
Whatever research you do, however much you trust or don’t trust the estate agent, Southwark Council can suddenly hit you with a large surprise bill - and you can’t do a thing about it.
-
You are right to be spooked. Please think carefully, and then think carefully again and then don’t buy it. For example maybe Google what’s currently happening with L&Q charges. https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/13/lq-has-raised-my-flats-service-charge-by-41-i-cant-afford-it?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
