    Nearly all new builds are crap quickly built and sub standard workmanship nothing like houses built in the 60s

      I would guess that the strict building controls that were enforced and upheld by council inspectors have been replaced with "Self regulation" like everything else; and "Self regulation" means no regulation at all (look what happened to the banks) Probably the best houses to buy are the 1960 (or before) Local Authority houses as all standards were enforced -including minimum space. Some new build "three bedroom" homes are more like one bedroom and two storage cupboards.

      Asa Mitchell umm... Midcentury houses are much worse than 2000s and 2010s builds. they didn't have granite, they were 1200 sqft on average where as a new house is 2600sqft. The average new house has a 2-3 car garage and 4-5 bedrooms while a 60s house has 2-3 bedrooms and 1-2 car garages

    I'm a legal secretary to a conveyancing solicitor and I know it's fact that if you are being given a gifted deposit, the anti-money laundering regulation states that whoever gives you the gift must provide evidence of the source of that money. They also have to get legal advice from an independent solicitor and sign a deed of waiver to show that it is a gift and that they won't have an interest in the property upon completion. When they are instructing their own solicitor they must provide ID to that solicitor for anti-money laundering purposes. Also, the cashback is a percentage, not the whole amount. As to using only the builder's solicitors is a load of rubbish, the only reason that company got grief from other solicitors was not because they were idiots, it was because there was a huge risk of fraud!

      @Seymour Butts To be fair; circa 1911 everyone was thinking in terms of radical right/left wing solutions .History tells us that both were total disasters and did nothing but cause mass murder and oppression.In his later books he at least begins to realise that the flowery ideals of socialism/communism are merely hot air used by psychopaths to gain power. In "Oil" I have to say that socialist Bunny really needs a good kicking ! (though I loved the quip about the rich generously refusing to buy cabbages and lard so that the poor could have something to eat!) For some reason Sinclair always had impossibly rich people as socialists (Lanny Budd in the World's End series of books-of which "The Dragon's Teeth" is still a great read about the rise of Hitler.) All the great writers of the left ended up disillusioned with socialism when faced with the reality of it (Orwell, Hemingway , John Dos Passos ,Steinbeck )even, though it has to be said that the middle way-Roosevelt's New Deal in the 30's worked and probably staved off fascism/communism in the US and the West . An extremely rare example of constructive government actually working for the people. And of course Sinclair's legacy was the introduction of meat inspection and food hygiene laws ! Not his intention when he simply described every day practices at the abattoir !

    Whn you song a mortgage (death pledge) agreement, this authorises the bank to tell Doris upstairs to type the number written on the form into a computer, thus magicking the money into the economy from thin air. The bank DO NOT transfer money from a special account into your account. THis is a common misunderstanding. The bank also DO NOT offer up anything of value as their part of the contract, which is usual in contract law. Ipso facto, the bank has no risk whatsoever and has nothing to lose.
    Then they also charge you to replay the money that came out of fresh air, at interest, for decades with a final total many times greater than the original loan, in addition to initial fees for the privilege of applying not to mention the bank owning your house for years.
    The entire mortgage and banking system is based on fraud and is a giant Ponzi scheme. Look it up.

      It wasn’t a hit and run. Brendan Kiely, 54, was drunk and walking along the middle of Ballam Road at around 9pm on April 1 when he was knocked over and killed in what police said was an unavoidable accident. At the inquest police and witnesses told the court that the male driver could not have avoided crashing into Mr Kiely as he drove from Lytham to Blackpool - with one specialist officer calling the tragedy 'inevitable'.
