A friend of mine died suddenly last week leaving a partner and young daughter behind. It made me think that I really need to make a will. My father in law specialises in drawing up wills for couples who have recently had children and may need to draw up/revise their will. He's lovely and regularly stays with us in Nunhead. He's coming up in a couple of weeks to sort a will out for us and some friends of ours in ED. I had a thought that other family room might like to engage his services. He's happy to visit people in their own homes and talk through all the issues their are to consider in relation to provision for your children, executors etc. He will do an EDF rate of ?150 per couple or ?85 per revsion if your circumstances have recently changed. PM me for his details.

  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.
