Young folk might as well all top themselves!

 

Saying that.. can anyone recommend an independent financial advisor possibly that specialises in first time buyers? How do they get paid? I refuse to believe their services are actually free. Do they get cut in on any mortgage that you take out through them?

 

Fucking sick of this whole process already.

Post of the Week.

 

I assume all the villains that think old exams were harder won't use a service (legal, health etc.) if they purveyor of said service is younger than 50 or whatever?

 

Seriously MBT, you post some amount of drivel.

 

But less drivel than you 

And Passing exams improves intelligence does it?

 

Are the young 'uns more intelligent cos more of them pass exams?

 

But more of them get the chance to sit exams!

 

No, you miss the point, "dumbing down" does not make everyone cleverer just makes "the stats look good"

 

PS Sorry, more "drivel" gd 

If those are jokes then you should spend less time sanding doon your newly plastered wall and more time on your comedic material. 

 

Sanding and plastering?

 

Ach, that was back in the day before I had a property empire.

 

 

ST, min.. since you're a master of DIY and especially floorboards here's one for you. How the fuck do you fix them if they're creaky as fuck? Saw a flat that I quite like but there's literally not a floorboard in the whole place that doesn't creak like a bastard and it was driving me nuts. Surely the whole lot won't need replacing?

Floorboards creaking is most likely due to them rubbing against each other. If that was the case they wouldn't likely need replaced. You can put talc between the boards or support them better by screwing them into the joists.

 

Depends if its proper floorboards or shitey chipboard too.

So I've read but I've also read that they need replaced. Depends on which site you look at. I could go back for a third viewing and ask to have a look. I was thinking of drilling a wee guide hole within a few inches of each nail and then using 40 or 50mm screws to secure them down and then cover the floor with talc and sweeping it into all the wee crevasses. problem is if that didn't work I'd be stuck with a floor that drains my will to live a little more with every step.

Depends.

 

Are they uneven to walk on or are they just creaking a little?

 

If its just a few squeaks then I'd not worry myself as underlay and a thick carpet will soon mask that.  Old places have these bits of 'character' and you'll soon get used to it.

 

I only replaced the whole kitchen floor as they literally were coming away in my hand.  Other floors I patched with the 'good' boards that I salvaged from the kitchen.  The squeaky boards throughout the flat I screwed down with big fuck-off screws to make sure it didn't happen again.

 

 

Not uneven. And it's more than a little squeak. It was irritating as fuck and that was when i was there for only 15 mins. It's literally the whole flat so would need sorting. Screwing them down appears to be the way forward and wouldn't be too big a job.

 

What I could do is buy screws one month. Then the next month I could buy a screw driver. Then save for three month for a drill..

 

If I've any more DIY queries I know where you are, ST. 

Look on the bright side Tyrant, at least ye'll know if ye'r getting burgularised!

To be honest Tyrant, if there's something that was 'irritating as fuck' with a property then I'd probably walk away.  There's plenty on the market due to the number of lazy young folk struggling to get mortgages. 

 

But if it's ticked all other boxes and you're willing to put in the graft then it's an easy enough fix.

 

Just try not to hit any cables or pipes whilst you're at it.

Cheers min. Just a stones throw from Berryden. Nae too far from where I am now. Pleased with the deal. It doesn't need any work which suits a young lazy cunt like me and I got it for slightly under valuation.  oving in at the end of June.

 

Although I wish it was the hoose that DD posted. Looks awesome.

Once we sort out some windows and doors it should be pretty warm, thanks for asking!

 

No problem. You should organise some sort of social gathering to celebrate your warm house.

Good idea, might even get a bouncy castle in 

Paid the deposit and solicitor fees today. Ouch. Move in in 2 weeks. 

 

Anyone who has useful skills in decorating is welcome to come over. Young folk needn't bother. Bunch of useless cunts.
