Painting and fireplace back in bedroom up there on the to do list

Is there a decorating thread?
Just wondering if with paint you get what you pay for, or if you're just paying a fancy marketing budget (crown colour matching a farrow and ball colour vs buying an actual farrow and ball tin).

Same on rollers etc - any brands to look out for?

Cheers :)

yeah cheers for this, I do agree. Polished silver would be great.
I do like normal road style brake lever/shifters rather than bar end shifters, but not sure if they'd work with a mtb rear mech..

Ooo thanks so much and I have a mate in Amsterdam....!

Planning for simultaneous exchange and completion Monday! Hopefully will be smooth from there. Thanks for everyone's help.

Any good trades in Bristol? Need a lot (sash window work/kitchen/bathroom). Need to speak to someone on the floorplan too as doing kitchen/bathroom anyway.

Is having bikes hung on a wall vertically on the first floor flat of a 5 storey building with the odd wheel being visible by a busy road bad/dangerous (x3 bikes there)? Corner on the attached photo

By chance, since me having my offer accepted the management co are putting 2 asgard bike sheds out front which will be good for the daily bike

Sweet! By chance British gas came round when i was viewing it today because the tenants hadn't been paying their bills. He took a gas and electricity meter reading and marked it as vacant, which I think is a good thing.

Gas meter is under the bath and he said they'd probably move it

Has anyone moved in the last couple of weeks and if so what have you done setting up a gas supply contract? I'm hearing comparison sites aren't operating at the moment and prices are quite high.

Hopefully completing on a flat soon which was tenanted until this weekend. They were with British gas and I'm sure their contract will have ended as they've moved out.

Who pays the (likely minimal) gas/electric/water between them moving out and me moving in?

Last viewing today hopefully so long as it is clean and the tenants are actually out.

I'm keeping my eye on ebay for 175mm cranks that may do. Cheers for that info

Also leaning towards a full grx groupset but not sure if 1x or 2x is best for my uses or if they'll particularly suit it

Heard good things about Juin Tech brakes too

Main two open enquiries are they can't seem to send accounts since march and can't/haven't supply management company consent (they are a director of the management company) to change the floorplan. That concerns me incase I can't sell it on. Current floorplan doesn't match the lease

My solicitor's secretary makes me feel like I'm inconveniencing my solicitor when I occasionally ring up...

Still open enquiries - management company secretary duties was run by someone who sold their flat in march and it's been neglected since then.

The freehold is owned by someone random (not connected to current house which is now 5 flats), and the head lease and my lease are both good title, which apparently can be upgraded to absolute given there's been no issues for >12 years.

Is it easy / worth it to extend lease from 865 to 999 in that sitch and is anything concerning anyone in the above? Stressful!

so would you unplug the light and charge the pack whilst riding with the revelation? new to all of this!
