Hi

I used a builder recommended off the forum, Dave 07932505589. I asked him to give me advice on a property I'm currently in the process of buying. The survey report came back as very damning but Dave fully checked the property and provided a very responsible quote for fixing the problem.


Thanks Miranda

Whatever you do go for a company that will guarantee it, without that the work is essentially worthless. We bought a place where they got their "mate builder" to do the damp proofing, it failed and they had no recourse so had to discount the house by the amount it was going to cost us to fix it.
Where is the damp? There are lots of people on here that have had experiences, so it might be worth mentioning it before calling in the professionals (I had varied experiences including a total fantasist). For instance I live on a hill and had a mystery spot. Turns out that my first floor next door neighbour had pierced a pipe leading to a radiator and a slow leak was coming into my chimney stack and underneath my kitchen floor.

    • Maurice fixed a blocked pipe in our bathroom, was communicative and reliable during the enquiry process, personable and professional during the fix and reasonable in his pricing. Would recommend.
    • Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.
