Heading there tonight, any other recommends?

I see. Actually it might be a bit more complicated, since you'd technically be gifting property B to your wife, some lite reading here: https://www.taxinsider.co.uk/681-How_to_Correctly_Gift_Property_to_Spouses.html

Sounds like there are some CGT implications, and stamp duty may even be payable, which of course would be a huge bummer. Best to speak to a tax advisor...

AFAIK you'd need to tell your mortgage company, and then get the deeds changed.

Only major consideration is whether mortgage provider deems you both separately able to afford each mortgage- pretty sure you'd need to be reevaluated. Might be different criteria for Buy to Let, if that's what you've got on the one you're letting.

In case it's relevant, it's not always possible to keep things separate for tax purposes once you're married.

Always feel sorry for people who don't know what the gears do and happened to have bought their bike in a really low one. Must wonder what they're doing wrong

Without riding brakeless and pedalless it's impossible to experience the true meaning of Flow.

Nah. I think to be AP it has to be trying and failing really hard, or genuinely unrideable/dangerous. That's just a bike.

So good

Oh man. Good luck finding it, it's pretty distinctive at least

Actually really surprised you need permission to get a divorce, assumed you could just do it if you wanted

True, will need to look into that too. Know absolutely nothing about nurseries, in Sydenham or otherwise.

Thanks - my son is erm.. 5 months, but due to the 'never moving again' clause we have to work out our options now. Sounds like there are quite a lot of decent primary schools but only 2 main secondary schools in the area (FH for boys and Sydenham for girls).

Obviously it's so far into the future who knows what it'll all look like when it actually matters.

Beckenham and Bromley - find them pretty hard to get excited about, but wife's main reasons: bigger gardens, better schools, further from inner city bad influences. With her on the first one, maybe the second, not so sure about the last one.

Prospect of a 30 mile round trip daily commute ;(

Interesting, was going to dredge this thread too.

Planning to move somewhere soon, but currently having a bit of a battle as to how far out we move... I want Forest Hill, she wants Bromley... so maybe it'll end up being Sydenham/Beckenham.

Any thoughts on the schools round there? I read there are some good ones, but since my wife is adamant we never move again, kind of need to cover primary and secondary (and assume that nothing will change in 10 years...)

Got repeatedly called 'kids' by a waitress in Lounge Bohemia once. I think she was younger than us. Really irritating

Not sure why, but enjoyed this enough to watch it about 10 times

Didn't it go CBBC, Newsround, Blue Peter, then Neighbours and then over to BBC2 for the Simpsons at 6 (from about '97 onwards)

I paid £2,200 to paint my 2 bed flat, as part of a complete renovation though. Didn't include things like tarting up, skirting, sills or any plastering work either (tho did include rads)

If I ever see another cutaneous horn on this thread it'll be too soon.

Thought 'Bowman' was 'B-Twin' for a sec

Had to pay for one of those guys when we required a valuation to buy more of our flat. Seem to remember it being a couple of hundred quid for him to spend <5 min wandering round and then picking a figure.

Seems like a pretty sweet gig. Even used a bike to go between jobs.

+1 ... I say go for it

Love that

^ When the baby walks in too, so good.
