Hi,
The timber ie black beams has been exposed and is as good as the day it went in, they definitely used better timber in those days.
Yes the intent is to separately support the staircase with an out board post bolted to the concrete below. Then a form of "gallows Bracket to the wall to pick...
HI sorry thanks for all the comments I haven't managed to get back on to reply, we will be getting another quote but we are not in this game so no idea if that price is reasonable.
1) the timber is fine at the top doubled up 9x3's been there for ever and solid. No need to replace that. They run...
Afternoon all,
We have a staircase that needs replacing. simple thing with wooden treads.
The handrail is solid just needs cutting off and welding to the new stringer up the side. New Sides, Metal treads to conform to building regs.
We have a quote, of £4,500 plus VAt to replace the staircase...
You are of course right, developers are businesses at the end of the day they are there to make profit, what people dont always realise is that housebuilding/development is so different to most ventures. You commit a huge resource to getting planning permission, then buying the site which could...
I used to work in the 2000's for a very well known London Developer and without fail, the first launch would be in Dubai or Honkong they would set up whole offices to launch the scheme's they would sell 50% then launch in the UK. Many were let out on the private rented market but many weren't...
Its a fine balance, i am not a fan of a stranger knocking on doors, i wouldn't want some suited developer bothering or scaring my parents so i guess the letter thing is a gentler approach if they are interested then great they hopefully will respond. But it does feel outdated.
Land assemblies...
That's hilarious, I have to say its been a great profession, you get to meet lots of interesting characters and over the years create some great spaces and developments, that said i generally have worked for middle to high end developers who want to create good environments and spaces for home...
Your not wrong, the system of councils planning where development goes knows as the 5 year land supply is a sound policy, it gives developers and land owners the opportunity to put their land forward for future development and the council decides through rigorous process where its best placed...
I have long believed its a matter of timing, i have had people keep my letters and 10 years later they get intouch for the reasons you state or deceased and children take on the property.
I love looking at titles and covenants, happy to take a look for you.
makes perfect sense, but from my experience people are put off by the high cost/risk of getting thrie own planning permission, then getting funding without risking all that you have worked hard to have, then getting the right builder who isnt going to leave you high and dry and this isn't even...
Your absolutely right, bet you didnt expect that! lol It makes my blood boil when we get empty homes or industrial sites sitting empty for years by wealthy landlords that simply cant be bothered to renovate as the value goes up with them not doing anything OR planning authorities wont allow...
Morning,
So for the sake of clarity I am land a development consultant working on my own for the last 13 years, before that 20 years working for Housebuilders and home owners to realise their property goals.
For years, it has been standard practice to trawl the OS maps in search of plots that...
Morning,
I didn't realise this thread would generate so much response and you all have greatly improved my understanding of the world of Gaming PC's when i explained it to the missus we both agreed (well she did) that its just a step too far to even spend £500 on this at the moment. He has his...
