Before retiring, I was a conveyancer for 45 years. I can tell you categorically that enquires of this nature about neighbouring land do not form part of a solicitor's remit for house purchase and you will be charged extra, perhaps now £200 per hour.  If you are using one of the out-of-town 'conveyancing factories' then you may find that they will not touch it because their experience is with routine registered land titles only and you will have to employ another, local solicitor to look into things. And, in the end, although you may accept a situation your mortgage lender may not and your conveyancing solicitor will have to report chapter and verse to your lender, who will probably not want to know and may decline your mortgage. It's the old story = time v money. If you and the seller and the rest of the chain and the hungry estate agents (desperate to get paid) can all wait weeks whilst this is looked into, with no guarantee of a solution, then fine....but they won't and you may lose the sale of your own property if you go down this path because people will want to get on and won't wait while you chase a possibly lost cause. My advice would be to suck it up find another property to buy.

i had a quote from a solicitor a couple of weeks back for a litigation matter and it was £265 plus vat per hour 

forgot to say that folk law/tradition says that if you take it out of the scabbard it has to draw blood before you put it back

small claims costs you virtually no money, just the filing fee.

 

Take the garage who sold her the car to court. 

for a modestly priced car it can be over 500 pounds and no guarantee of getting costs. the guarage has said take them to court they are not concerned about it and will fight it 

a young relative is having trouble with her warranty on her car after an engine breakdown she had to take it to a certain garage to get it striped down to see what the fault is then they denied it is their responsibility they will not pay for the engine to be put back together again so at the moment it's in bits on the garage floor going through C/A they have managed to get the warranty premium back from the garage that sold her the car but that is as far as they will go and taking them to the small claims court will cost them a lot of money with no guarantee they will get there cost back    

to a certain extent they are ok and point you in the right direction and have template letters, but it does not go much further than that you then might have to employ a solicitor to finish things off at £250 an hour plus vat  

think you might have created a sump hole 

not a lot of time for it, but what got me is that you can vote for a song before they have started performing 

i would say its knacked they do not like been pruned it should be just going over from flowering now best bet take it out and get a new one 

looking at the photo it seems easer to nick them than sell them they must have been prolific

Thought about doing domething like this myself once, but decided it could be construed as criminal damage. The much more discreet but satisfying alternative was a goodly dose of 34% urea nitrogen fertiliser at night, then spent next six months watching the poor prick furiously mowing his lawns,  growing twice as fast as he could cut. Must have cost a fortune in fuel.😆

yes that works well i used that once after non payment on a fortnightly garden Maintenace job 

has the sheepshank and monkey's paw been mentioned yet 

could be the brown moth cat

There is no problem reprocessing it, both the UK and France have been doing it for decades.

 

Only exception being the USA, who just decide to stockpile it and do nothing.

why do they still put it in the bottom of the Irish sea then ?

But you are needing to consider the competency levels of the UK to create any national infrastructure. We 'invented' the railways, can't build one now, we created Calderhall from scratch, struggling like the railways to build one (worldwide average for a nuclear plant is about 18 years from concept to production, something like that).

 

Nothing much wrong with nuclear, but we have to build them and get them accepted by the locals where we site them

the only problem with nuclear is disposing of the waste.
