Firstly, great thread, lots of good advice. I can't find an answer to the question I have, so here goes. I today got a invoice from Coppen for the ground rent and also an annual insurance charge for this year and for Sep 2018 - 2019 too. We bought the house in September last year and our conveyancer never mentioned anything about insurance charges or notice of cover etc. Just that the ground rent was £6. Our lease is from 1922 and I can't see anything about requiring a certain insurer, although it;s fairly hard to read. Is it likely such a covenant would be in a lease of this age? Is it worth me writing to Coppen and asking where in the lease the covenant is? Is it possible they blanket include the charge with checking the lease? Thanks, Andy

Cyclists on road rather than cycle paths

The 'humps' on the Europa Link cycle path will apparently be flattened within the next 3 weeks, with a full resurface happening next year. -
New Mountain Bike Course at Parkwood Springs
andycee replied to Jordan 1989's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Looks good, bit like the 4X track I used to ride at Aston Hill. Prefer more natural type downy stuff ala Wharncliffe, but this looks like it'll be good fun and a nice addition to the riding we already have in the area. -
MEGATHREAD:- Recommended Lettings Agents
andycee replied to smoothtalker's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
Those letting agent awards are comical. All you have to do is fill in an on-line form, pay your £250+VAT per category (surprised no admin charge, reference check charge etc too) respond to a questionnaire, take a phone call from a 'judge' and then hope you are the only entry in a category in your region and voilà . They don't actually visit companies in person or speak to tenants or landlords. They should be called the Hot Air Awards. Priceless. -
I liked the Millhouses pub , but now it's shut!
andycee replied to manofstrad's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I'll have to ask my work colleague about those steps. I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned them as he is an avid mountain biker and he's lived in Dore for many years and is actively involved in the community, so I'm certain you'll know him and his family. -
MEGATHREAD:- Recommended Lettings Agents
andycee replied to smoothtalker's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
They have the same address as Blundells in a small business centre off Tenter street. The domain is registered to a residential address under a different name as the primary contact and they aren't registered with Companies House either, well not under that name anyhow - for a company that is allegedly a 'phenomenal success story' it all sounds fishy to me, surely former five-o wouldn't bend the truth like that? How much did you research them before handing the keys over?! -
MEGATHREAD:- Recommended Lettings Agents
andycee replied to smoothtalker's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
I've just let my flat as I recently moved in with in with the girlfriend and just did it direct in the end. It seemed most were charging ~15% pcm for fully managed with a one off fee of £200 or self managed they wanted £500+vat for finding tenants. I just found tenants myself, checked references myself and downloaded an AST agreement from the Landlords Association and used the DPS for the deposit stuff. It's all been fine so far, I've had to run a couple of errands myself, sorting a few bits and pieces out for them and arrange for a failed appliance to be replaced, but not much bother and I've saved loads. Most of them charge on top for any callouts too. With agents they were going to charge 650 and I'd net about 560. I advertised it for less than the 'market rate' and ended letting it really quickly for 585, so both tenants and I saved money. Worth thinking about... -
Rave / Loud music - May Day Bank Holiday weekend 2011
andycee replied to ginger bimbo's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I think someone already mentioned they thought it was Kabal (in post 2) but on their facebook page they said they got shut down early on, so not sure it was them. Given the five-o station is nearby in Attercliffe I can't see it being there -
I've always thought that they must now be optional extras on the premium German brands, I assumed their drivers can't afford to have them after they have paid for the car and then realised they had to also shell out for a steering wheel, seats etc.

andycee replied to nifton's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I wondered what that was too. I thought my neighbours were banging about or something... -
OK its now open again and a fire engine emerged, so I'm guessing there was a crash or something.

I can see the ring/relief road is closed and several cop cars diverting cars down to the Wicker. Anyone know what is going on?

News on the proposed Hooters in Leopold Square
andycee replied to samstar999's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I've never been, not sure what all the fuss is about though? Don't the staff just wear slightly skimpy outfits, they aren't actually naked? Most of the bars in town already have at least one scantliy clad bar maid and depending where you go the customers too. If you want to go perve then its already available and you don't need to pay a premium! Talking of perving, I cycled past Spearmint Rhino this week and there was for let sign on the side, is that place closing?
