Apparently the seals have failed . They are going to cut opening all along a wall so they can remove old flue and feed in new one . The original boiler is 18 yrs old no one wants to touch that or offer any guarantee on it with a new flue . So it’s new flue , boiler and warranty. And yes , a solicitor on a sale would want a boiler working report for certain , so there is no option but for me to fix it .

Some yes , some no , some maybe , some who knows !

I am anticipating everything especially with new government. So potentially room council tax , epc a c by 2030 , all contracts periodic , s21 ban , move your (expletive deleted)ing dog in etc etc The thing is a lot of landlords are swapping to students which causes a shortfall of ‘professional’ HMO’s ….

Oh I know ! . I don’t think Bristol would be that stupid . But I’m changing my HMO’s over to students so at least for now that shouldn’t be an issue ….

Yep . HMO’s are FAR more work and specialised. I would get 11.5% and a guarantor per hmo tenant. Sounds expensive I know - but , manage a hmo and see 🙄

🥲

I know you are ! And as a LL I (expletive deleted)ing hate it now . Sad thing is I am in the process of turning over all my properties and HMO’s to an agent . This cocaine person was the final tenant I needed to leave . I was up there yesterday and managed to get him to open the baracaded door . He then broke down ( pitiful to watch and I have no sympathy left to give ) . Even let him have his deposit back early to help with costs on new place . His salary is around 35k so affordability isn’t an issue until you spend it all on booze and coke . Doing my best to change tenants before s21 gets banned . So I’m now down the accelerated possession order route ( still take months ) . Thats another 1.5k with proper legal support . Transfer to high court enforcement once done . Reckon that little lot will cost me 10k. Any donations welcome ! . Won’t mention the 2k roof leak I’ve got to get done also .

30kw 8000 boiler Flue, Flue extension, elbows, clamps Worcester bosch filling link Worcester bosch magnetic filter Pipework and fittings Chemicals Labour £4888 including VAT This boiler comes with Worcester bosch backed 12 year parts and labour warranty as we are gold accredited installers 🫤 To add insult to injury at another property got a tenant that won’t leave after a section 21 and spends his salary on alcohol and cocaine….. joy comes in many forms .

Apparently the fuse board in the flat won’t support an electric boiler or similar . I assume the supply just isn’t meaty enough .

I use to crimp all my cables but it’s mofo boring after a 100 . So now I buy pre made thread them through straight to poe switch . More expensive but less hassle . I try to buy cables in all different colours to make it easier to track .

I hate when a fixed price becomes a new price later … Once had a roofer remove all the roof tiles and then suddenly “ it was more work than I thought “ . No issues found , simply trying it on . I told him he could have the extra he had asked for if he asked me for it in front his labourers and fought me for it . He agreed to the original price and finished the job . Ffs - how to piss me off extremely quickly .

Though …. Looking at their website you can’t claim initially for 14 days . Doesn’t say whether ‘full’ cover covers the flue

Tenants got not hot water for 8 weeks though

Must admit I did wonder that …..

2 . It’s a tiny ‘apartment’ shitty thing

Ok . But how large a tank is required ?

Quotes are in ! So …. Cherry picker and replace flue around 5 - 7k (expletive deleted) me So electric boiler /water tank and electric radiators it is …

It’s recommended by the decking supplier so I *assume* their recycled product isn’t one of those you list .

This was recommended https://ovaeda.com/products/c-tec-power-grab-n-bond-construction-adhesive-290ml

I used https://ovaeda.com It’s really good stuff but … the ‘special ‘ brackets and screws bump the cost a lot . I choose this because of the aluminium frame I.e do once and it should last forever

Only to happy to help as always

You shouldn’t be in the woods on an evening . Cornish people do strange things in those situations . It’s not normal

Not heard of that - will give it a try . There I was believing that ct1 was the be all and end all of bonding .
