TLDR: Buyers pulled out last minute saying my leasehold flat was unmortgageable because it has stepped ground rent, but everyone I’ve spoken to is giving different advice.

Since then I’ve spoken to the estate agent, my solicitor, the freeholder and a mortgage broker, and everyone seems to be saying something slightly different.

Leasehold flat in England. Lease is 125 years from Jan 2008, so around 106 years left.

Ground rent is £50 per year now, then goes to:

£400 after 25 years

£800 after 50 years

£1,200 after 75 years

£1,500 after 100 years

So it goes to £400 in around 2033.

Is this actually likely to make the flat hard to mortgage, or are the buyers possibly just using it as an e

Hey, I was scrolling through the Amazon Black Friday deals and spotted the Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor for £27.

I always have this little worry about the air quality inside my snakes’ vivs, especially my BRB, since she needs really high humidity and reduced airflow to keep it at 90-100%. So I was thinking of putting one of these monitors in each viv for a day just to see if they’re actually getting nice, breathable air or if I’ve accidentally created a funky swamp environment.

Does anyone know if this thing is useful for reptile enclosures, or am I way overthinking it as usual? Here’s a review I found if it helps: [https://breathesafeair.com/amazon-smart-air-quality-monitor-review/](h

Trying to find a good hoodie-canvas jacket. Something similar to a Carhartt active jacket, but with a more regular size? Thanks for any help

TLDR: Will 19x11j et10, 295/35 fit the rear after an arch roll?

I have brought some new wheels, the fronts are fine, but the rear is questionable. The rear specs are 19x11J +10 offset with 295/35 tyres. I’m planning to get the arches rolled and maybe slightly flared. Would these fit with around -2° camber after that, or will I still run into clearance issues?

I ask this after buying because I got a proper insane deal on the wheels and tyres, £250 Japan Racing JR39 brand new wheels in box

Just finished wrapping my car and got a sweet deal on some wide boy wheels. the problem is I need to roll the arches and i know that means a lot of heat not to crack the paint. is there a way to do this without ruining the wrap
