Cheers. Doesn't sound too onerous.
-
Yeah, I enjoyed that. Can't remember if I saw S2 or not. I think so.
-
Yeah, it looks super familiar. Wonder if I saw an episode or an ad for it or something.
-
I just googled Barry. I'm sure I've seen something very similar, but it was a film.
Maybe I'm thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_Man_(2023_film)

How do rich people avoid that? Gift the place to a relative or only buy property through corporations/businesses? Anyway, CGT isn't really a primary concern (yet).
-
Nice try. But my parents are the boomers. I just had a well paid job and no kids and got lucky (ok, it's not luck, I'm fucking smart) with timings.
-
The gain in the value of the property for the period when it wasn't your primary residence.
How is that calculated? I mean, I bought this place 15 years ago and live in it so do they "start the CGT clock" from when I would move out? Presumably I could also move back in for x years and fuck their CGT collection?
What's interest rates got to do with anything? I don't owe any money on this place.
-
Get you, with your "friends". :P
Consent to let is 500 quid here I think or something like that for 5 years, insurance I dunno, think the EPC stuff got done when we had all the kitchen done (which included the consumer unit replacement)
Tax is tax. I expect to get rinsed with every increase in income. I'm not rich enough to use all the corporate loopholes.
What's a 2 year no eviction rule? and CGT rule? Don't you only pay CGT if you sell a place for profit?

I'm not sure how this impacts me. I've owned my place for years. -
It looks like they've stripped options from the 4S to make it at a lower price point. Perhaps because they have the RTD now and they were too close in spec?

The buyer me wants one of these:

Oh yeah, new Shoresey!
-
Presumably stuff like lightbulb changes can be written into the contract? I'm pretty sure it was when I rented.
Same with "this place was in THIS state, normal wear and tear is expected, but if we come back and it's got walls covered in mould and the toilet floods every flush" then I can have their organs removed or something?

Eliminating Di2 seems a bit backwards. But if everyone is sticking cables and/or SRAM on their bikes then maybe they didn't want the extra cost. Did they fix the dropout problem?
What's your budget? Have a look at the Mason Definition perhaps?
EDIT: I see they have a rear thru axle now
The old one mentions Di2 compatibility, I didn't dream it...
https://kinesisbikes.co.uk/products/kinesis-racelight-4s-frameset-discThe newer, but not newest (wish they used version numbers!) is Di2 and addresses the dropout issue...

Should be pretty easy (famous last words) as it's only a 1BR and modern enough. I'm more concerned that the tenants will treat it like shit (you know the "it's got a damp problem" = "no, you cunt, you've never opened a window"). Obviously I'd want the most cash for the least amount of hassle but I'm really more concerned with people trashing the place when its managed by people with no interest in the property itself.

Enjoyed binging all of La Casa de Papel. Need to find "Berlin" spin-off now.
Have started Shogun after someone in the pub mentioned it.

London buses would be a lot better if there weren't so many arsehats driving everywhere.

haha fair enough. I went through a death metal phase in my younger years but to be honest can't stand most of it these days. I'm mostly a techno head now but do still listen to a fair bit of thrash from the big hitters back in the day (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Sepultura, Pantera, little bit of Anthrax, Helmet and some random other stuff - the only "newer" band I ever got into was SOAD).
Actually seeing an ACDC cover band this weekend (still spewing that ticketmaster fucked my purchase when actual ACDC were playing in London). Yes, I know this ain't metal but it's the gig thread...
-
Never really like Nirvana but still.. ouch.

That's at least got some content I could get into.
I typically like it hard and fast though (ooh nurse)
The only "chill" thing I can think of enjoying recently was Glass Beams
-
Yeah, I think (hope) most places are restricting short-term stuff like airbnb.
I was thinking longer term anyway. The van thing was a bit of a joke.

No drums, no talk

Really I'm listening to this at the moment.

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
Fair. Cheers. In general the less I can give the scumbags in charge to piss up the wall on fake projects to line the pockets of their buddies, the better but I generally can't be arsed with any funky accounting shite. I just need enough money for food, beer and the odd bike upgrade and I'm good.
I will fucking bury anyone that tries to steal my pension though so unless they can somehow freeze my assets before I can burn the lot, they can get fucked.
