Gwenhyffar Milgi typed thus: I have come across a situation that slightly bemuses me. I have joined a sports club. The team I play in comprises of 16 - 50 year olds. All adults in the team that I am in have been given a "self declaration form" to fill in.

I am in the process of selling my house, a 2 bedroom flat with garage in separate block, at an asking price of circa 270,000. A potential buys wants to stay under the stamp duty threshold (250k). A solution that has been broached is that I should remove the garage from the sale. The garage is probably sellable in its own right for 10-15k or so anyway, so it seems quite reasonable.

In article , says... It greatly confuses me. Can someone who is more versed in the ROA and its amendments and the Exceptions Order point my nose to the correct part of the act which says that if you're a member of a team which includes under-18's, you are exempt from the ROA? Perhaps the people who run the club are...

Each time I contacted the Co-op bank I was nagged about 'topping-up' my loan. After declining their offer several times, I eventually agreed to increase my loan, but I was surprised to find that they had raised the APR by 2% without telling me. They were advertising much lower rates than I am paying now. When I realised this, and before I signed the new agreement, I cancelled the loan. I then...

Got a similar situation. Best advice seems to be. Draw up or get a solicitor to draw up an agreement between yourselves & the company whereby you become responsible for the management & insurance of the property in return for rights to any rent received from tenants. Then re-let the building with yourselves as the landlord (naturally declare the rent as income on your tax returns) Make the...

I have been giving some advice on the same subject in uk.legal, and wondered if someone could either confirm or correct my advice: See below: Hi! We live in a rented house (England, Yorkshire, if this matters); this is an assured shorthold tenancy. The contract was signed 16 August 2003.

How do, My sister makes original jewellery by hand and sells it on eBay; doing so forms an essential part of her and her partner's income (which is often pretty low, overall.) She often goes to considerable time and effort making entirely unique and original pieces, often taking anything from a few hours up to the best part of a days works.

I`m thinking of setting up a "fun" website where visitors will be able to "name and shame" ex-partners who strayed. There would probably be a facility built in by which they could upload a photo of the ex-partner, and to sort their "rants" by location (ie. north-west). As I would simply provide a means for which they could vent their spleen, and will happily remove any that are objected to,...

In message , Stressed writes Story so far... My wife and I hold 100pc of the shares in a limited company which owns a commercial property outright. In February 2000, a local surveyor gave an informal valuation of £74,000, based on information from their own Probate valuation carried out in 1996. In January 2002 a full formal valuation was...

We are going to start looking Warwickshire for some pasture land to keep the horses on although the other half has kept horses for nearly 25 years we have no experience with buying our own land We plan to spend up to £100k next year so we need to research this well! Does anybody know of a website or such where we can look at the potential legal pit falls of buying land etc thanks all Bruno

Across the road from our house there are builders working on a (very) sloping roof. There are not using harnesses, just standing on the tiles. If they slip, they will miss the scaffolding and go all the way down to the concrete. It's a long way down. Is this legal? To my admittedly untrained eye, they look like they are working in very dangerous conditions. Is there any kind of health and safety...

I've fallen foul of eBay – please what can I do? eBay is continuing to invoice me for my ‘sellers' account WHEN I AM NOT USING IT? I set up an eBay account for a one-time sale earlier this year. All payments for this were fully cleared. My balance account then was zero – that is £0. Yet eBay is still billing me every month for 'membership' that I am

It didn't, actually, but when I posted it 48 hours ago, it didn't show up for some reason. This is a rarity - I only subscribed this morning, and usually I lurk for a bit before my first post to a group. We've lived at our current abode for 18 months, and I'm amazed something this has only just happened.

i wonder if someone here can help me quite unfairly, someone managed to get a ccj against me and now he wants to send the bailiffs round. i found out from the court staff that i could apply to have the warrant suspended and I could also fix things so i pay him monthly instead of all at once, not that i want to pay him at all because i don't owe him anything. the problem is that this vindictive...

's wild thoughts were released on Sat, 26 Jun 2004 18:45:07 +0100 bearing the following fruit: I live in an area where the local authority provide wheely bins for the collection of domestic refuse. The instruction that comes with these bins instructs that they should be placed at the periphery of the property on the collection day. In practice this means on the pavement...

In message , Wyliam writes Years ago, my father gave his house to myself and my brother. Mother still lives in the house, but one day she will leave us. This did not create any tax liability, and none is expected unless we sell the house. If she pays no rent then the IR. may claim she had an interest in possession and include the...

I looked at a bungalow yesterday which was perfect for me in every way except - the very narrow stairway leading to where the roof had been converted to a giant bedroom. The stairway was roughly half the width of a normal stairway, 3 steps up then 90 degrees left and the rest leading upwards. Because the stairway is so narrow, furniture cannot be got up/down it - even in flat packs.
