    Did anyone ever get money back from this? 10 years on and ive just been contacted by the courts to say some funds have been collected. I jumped on the forum and then read all this. Wow.

    Help to decide on PAYE or Umbrella Company

    Is there any reason why you cant go direct from Umbrella to Client? Agency just taking a cut for nothing now?

    Friend and partner splitting - who gets the house?

    Indeed. and even if they agree to share custody 50/50 she will always be principal carer... Bottom line...If you have children expect to pay for the ex and the children until they are at least 18. If she wants to stay in that house - she will get it until you agree a sale and split of...

    Jury Service

    I've been asked 5 times. Every time I've told them I can't go as I'd end up losing the contract due to not attending client. Every time i've been excused.

    "Offers Over"

    No you dont. You can bid for as many as you like.

    "Offers Over"

    Its valued at 350k....the seller wants to get as close to 350 (or more). Offers over 339k is the best way to get that amount. Not sure what you dont get here?

    "Offers Over"

    Exactly...you buy what you can afford. Im not aware of many people going into panic mode and bidding miles over the value. If they are more fool them.

    "Offers Over"

    Mortgage is secured on the larger value (purchase price or valuation) I live in Edinburgh and it used to be the norm to pay 10 -15% for the offers over but unless its prime property you are very unlikely to pay more than the valuation.
