A flat in Glasgow is still occupied although all the other residents have moved out , this is because one family refuse to leave until the Council offer them more for their property, as its needed for the Commonwealth Village to be built on the site.. ?30000 in this day and age seems like an insult to this family to get rid of them to build. what do you think.. Im hoping the family are offered double this amount to allow them to move on and start again.

Well I think you'd need all the details.


Is it their flat? What's the money for? How as it calculated? What are the alternatives?


They probably didn't build the flat themselves, so they're capitalising on the hard work and effort of other people. It may be that they should try and fit in with other people a bit more.


Don't forget, 'Councils' are spending your money, and trying to do it wisely.

The deep-fried Mars bar is mentioned in UK quarterly The Idler's book Crap Towns II: The Nation Decides in the article on Glasgow. 'SJ' writes: "They aren't an urban myth: they are available in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. I ate one on a cold December night. It was quite nice. Then I was sick."


All that for 60p


( & making that 30k flat look quite expensive )



W**F

It's a two bed flat in a tenement block, the story can be found here in the Daily Express, a newspaper for the recently decesased.


They have been the only residents in the tenement block for eight years, as even the council didn't deem it fit for human occupation.


If anyone knows them please feel free to pass on this link to 30,000 quid flats in Glasgow.


The council have also offered them council accommodation.


It seems to me that the place is likely to be squalid, but they're very attached to it. The 95 grand valuation is clearly a con, and she probably wouldn't want to leave whatever the price. There is a lands tribunal process in Scotland, and I don't think anyone's out to get them.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
