    State Pension Forecast question

    Thanks, isn't that under the threshold for NI contributions though? I'm a bit green with this and trying to get unequivocal information from the forecast is proving difficult...or I'm reading it wrong!

    State Pension Forecast question

    Yes, it's somewhat irksome when all the pointers are to that forecast for explicit checking yet I'm left not totally sure....

    State Pension Forecast question

    At 49 and having just been made redundant, I have checked my state pension forecast to weigh up my future work options. It says: and then If I look at my NI contributions it says: As I'm thinking of not doing full time work and getting a part time 10k a year type job, do I need to be...

    Youtube on kids windows PC

    Well to add to the absurdity, I downloaded the 'bluestacks' emulator, which seems to be a trusted software and a recognised way of doing what I want but that in itself gives them access to more stuff I don't want them to see e.g adverts for games/other apps etc Ah well, I might as well block...

    Youtube on kids windows PC

    Thanks Ozzy, Bugger, will have to think of another way, most probably the android emulator to download the Youtube kids app. I was hoping there may have been some clever way to automatically log in as a child profile but not allow sign out...:confused:

    Youtube on kids windows PC

    Hi, I thought it was a good idea to take a couple of Windows 10 PCs from work (about to be binned) and give them to my two kids (9 and 10). Being a cheapskate and not wanting to spend any more money than I have to, I have been utilising Windows 10's parental controls. I've basically stripped...

    Dilapidations advice please

    Thanks, it states the usual 'make sure you get it sorted at the outset' which is not the position the tenant is in. I think the only thing in his favour is the fact the landlord and agent don't have (or have less of) a reference point. Either way, they can still go for the jugular and according...

    Dilapidations advice please

    ..and 'yes' the property over the road seems to be a different kettle of fish as that unit was leased from new. Still not sure how they got to such obscene dilap figures, you could probably build a new unit for those sums! Unfortunately the tenant of that building has long left so can't be...

    Dilapidations advice please

    Sorry, I realised this myself when writing replies : ) There's the business owner who is the tenant and the landlord who is the owner of the property. I'll try to keep the words tenant and landlord to avoid confusion, personally just a bit odd for me referrring to him as tenant!

    Dilapidations advice please

    OK, it turns out the solicitor was a commercial solicitor which I find a bit odd considering the tenant was never advised to attach a schedule confirming the original condition. It's equally baffling the agent never got one either. So it will literally be the agent's interpretation versus the...

    Dilapidations advice please

    Thanks, it would appear that the landlord only deals via the agent who is not great with quick communication, possibly deliberately. This is why I asked the questions regarding whether the tenant should pre-emptively get a survey done as he fears leaving then getting a retrospective dilaps bill...

    Dilapidations advice please

    Thanks, the tenant went with a solicitor but it would seem that advice was not given to take pictures and the landlord failed to do so too. I'm guessing (will speak to him tomorrow) that the solicitor may not have been experienced in commercial...:(
