2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agotoilet in loft,,is it legal?
i bought my bungalow 2 years ago, it has a loft conversion that was done about 25 years ago. at one end of the loft there is a toilet that was done about 11/12 years ago, according to the neighbours. i have details regarding the loft conversion, but non regarding the toilet. is it still ok in respect of building regs, planning etc, or does it no longer apply after being done 11 or 12 years. (according to advice from a builder friend). he says if an extra room has been done without consent for longer than ten years, then it stays done legally, and building control cannot do anything, is he right.

10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agomortgage deposits are too high?
my son pays over £600 per month rent to a private landlord, when he could be paying that to a mortgage provider instead. the mortgage provider wants a 10% deposit for a £150,000 house, which he cant afford to save due to the rent. it is a vicious circle. why can't the banks give a special low deposit incentive for first time buyers. he is a homemaker, not some parasitic developer/investor. it just does not make sense. we need to get our young people back on the mortgage ladder.

she could have stayed in the house if she was given the chance to have one or two of her previous housemates with her for support. i knew that any winner would struggle with new housemates, let alone celeb types. bb will lose lots of viewers over this. they could still fix it if they tried. i will give it a miss otherwise. i hope josie has a great tv future ove this.

i have a vw touran, when on longish trips (usually motorway) i hear a squealing metallic noise coming from front end wheels breaks area. at around 70 mph, the only thing that seems to stop it is a sharp stab at the break pedal, then a mile or two down the motorway it starts again until i stab the pedal again. or there is a slight turn in the road. on country roads etc, it does not squeal. but i will be using the breaks more often and at a greatly reduced speed. recently serviced,,,new pads,,, front discs a bit worn,,,, can someone tell me whats going on. note....mostly happens on straight stretches of motorway
7 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agocan an australian citizen own a static caravan in uk?
my sister wants to buy a static caravan on a park that opens all year round, with the intention of renting it out for a year or so, to make some money, and then moving here to live in it. she told me that it was proving awkward for her, as the site owners require utility bills etc. so the holiday park suggested that i could be a part owner. surely they could provide some of their own australian utility bills. i feel pretty uncomfortable about it. ,,,,,some good advice would be much appreciated.

1 AnswerOther - Diseases1 decade agowhat is wrong with my concrete driveway?
when part of my concrete driveway was laid, it was raining heavily while it was being floated off. the finish is pitted although it does not look too bad, however, when we walk into the house, there is a constant white residue, that dries to a white powder. could it be that the concrete was faulty, or did the rain stop it from sealing, it looks like lime, or cement. can i seal it when the weather is dryer.

2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agodangerous plumber question?
having employed a builder to build me an extension, i have recently discovered that after a catalogue of errors which could have caused a lot of damage to my property, and dangerous practises that could have caused death to ourselves. and at moment, i have no heating or hot water, due to his faulty and dangerous work on my boiler. the plumber he brought in is working on the side, for cash in hand, unknown to the company he works for. i suspect he may not be carrying public liability insurance, and that he may not be gas-safe registered, ( although he might be registered on behalf of his employer). i have refused to pay the builder for any work that the plumber has done. am i within my rights to refuse payment.
