My Dad (William Grafton) came second in it and my hubby's uncle (Gary Macdonald) won it at the youngest age ever to win it, I think he was still in his teens.

Hi Everyone I have been told due to a change in regs that we need to have a Core Vent fitted. Does anyone know how to work out the size of the Core Vent needed or are they all standard? The Core Vent is for a Baxi Boiler. I have tried to call Baxi but was on hold for ages because they were busy, the boiler is quite old. I have the GC code if anyone can help! If anyone is able to quote me for having the vent fitted please PM me. The location will be in the living room and the property is in Hillsborough. Thanks in advance

Well until your landlord has served you with a valid notice, obtained a court order and subsequently a baliffs warrant then you would still have a legal right to occupy the accommodation. You landlord may argue if you left that he thought you had gone but my understanding is that even if a landord may think you have vacated the premises he would still have some duties for a short period to protect your belongings. Like mentioned previously he should make reasonable attempts to contact you. It may be that your landlord may be leaving themselves open to proceedings for damages to your personal items and in view of the fact you left because you were worried possibly also harassment. As previously mentioned speak to Shelter/CAB or Housing Advice at Sheffield Council.

Hi there There is a shop in Barnsley which is advertising end of line prom dresses from £40. It is a bridal shop and prom dress shop. Its on the same road at the Wetherspoons pub and he 99p shop. Loops

I'd highly recommend Paul a Mobile Mechanic on 07795101555. He came and fitted us front break pads, was quick and efficient and fairly priced. Could have got us to pay for back pads too as we wouldn't have known otherwise (car sensor warning so we didn't know which ones needed doing), but was fair and honest and clearly of great expertise (also had a look around our other car to make sure its ok, as we'd just bought it). Gave good advice, was friendly and came when he said he would. We will be using him when needed all the time now. Please give recommended tradesmen your business as we need to keep them in business for all our sakes.

You can apply for a crisis loan but make it quite clear that you have been served a notice and you will end up homeless if you cant get the monies together. You can only use a crisis loan for rent in advance not for a deposit. There is no guarantee you be successful but worth a shot. The other option would possibly be to approach a local credit union, there is one in Sheffield near the markets (I think). They do very low cost loans and that might help towards your deposit/rent in advance. Good luck! Also, last resort, not sure if you were to be homeless and nowhere to go if you approached the homeless persons unit at the council they may have a homeless prevention fund or possibly able to make other suggestions. They will also check out the notice to see if valid etc as this may buy you additional time.

Yea I agree with Davi, if you sign a 12 month contract you can be held liable for 12 months rent. By serving notice during the fixed term does nothing unless you have a clause that allows you to serve notice after a certain point to end your tenancy. The term in your contract would be an unfair term as per office of fair trading as this gives you less rights than the landlord re: terminating the fixed term early. If the landlord goes a clause he can use to end early and if you had a clause too and if it was deemed to be fair then the landlord could serve notice as per the clause but all that would do is end your fixed term and he would then need to serve a correct notice with correct time periods and then get a court order then a baliffs warrant before you had to leave. Basically - its all pretty complex and if you have a written agreement and the landlord wants to terminate or you want to terminate its best to get the tenancy agreement checked out because every case is different. In addition to this, lots of landlords allow whats called a mutual surrender - this can be done at any point if a tenant wants to leave - sometimes this may be agreed on certain terms eg: finds someone to move in etc but worth asking but get proof agreed in writing. They dont however have to agree to mutual surrender so be careful! Hope this helps!

If your landlord hasnt protected your deposit and he should have then you could look at the option of applying to court in order to sue for compensation - 3 times the deposit you paid and they will enforce the landlord to also return or put the deposit in a tenancy deposit scheme. Also, important thing to note!!! If the landlord hasnt put your deposit in a tenancy deposit scheme any section 21 notice (eviction notice) he serves you is invalid and this can be submitted to the court. To pursue any court action against your landlord you would need his address. As people have said there are other things re: gas safety checks and possible illegal evicton so take advice and get someone to possibly contact him for you. Good luck!

Elm Lane is ok. Its good for public transport and the shops on their are quite handy and open until 9pm. Also easy walk to Netto!

The landlord has an implied term re: various repairs in your house and he cant contract out of this. If you google 'section 11 of the landlord and tenant act' that should give you an idea. I agree re: CAB but I think like most they are very busy but if you are eligible for legal aid there is a Shelter office also in Rotherham (in the rain building) and they could poss book an appointment for you to see someone. Good luck!

There is the environmental protection act 1990 which confirms varies duties a landlord has - however - I appreciate you have been given advice re: contacting the local authority however you need to be bear in mind very often in the private rented sector you have limited security of tenure (eg probably an assured shorthold tenancy) and lots of landlords if someone raises an issue would rather than going down the route of huge works ask someone to leave. All I am saying is be careful as it can result in you being asked to leave and then you may end up having to rely on the council and end up with a lack of choice over where you end up going. If you are deternined to follow this through then take pictures of the damage to the property as evidence and if you landlord was to evict you or not do the works you could pursue some form of compensation. Good luck!

Yea I will second get specialist advice before you speak to the housing association. Most Housing Associations and Local authorities say that the tenant (the person named on the agreement) needs to reside in the property as their main or principal home and if this isnt the case they could argue that there isnt the normal tenancy agreement in force. Due to demands etc for social housing them some Housing Associations and Councils will start eviction procedures if they find out the person named on the agreement isnt living there. Of course there are always exceptions and some Housing Associations are better than others but that is why you need to get advice first because if you tell them openly he has left they may want their property back.

There is no set price but there is some kind of calculation - dont think its straight forward. Check out the advice service LEASE who can give you more information on buying the freehold they have lots of useful information on their website.

Isnt Northern Counties now Guinness Trust? Just make sure you have the up to date information on their points as not sure it changed when they became Guinness Trust. Generally Housing Associations charge slightly more rent than council as a general rule - I think the rent will pretty much depend on where you get a property. I dont know regarding waiting times.

There is a website you can go to in order to search for the maximum Local Housing Allowance for your local authority for the size of property you are entitled to (LHA Direct) or you can click this link for February rates for Sheffield Council:- http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/in-your-area/benefits/local-housing-allowance/local-housing-allowance-rates If you are under 25 it would be a 1 bed shared accommodation rate, if over 25 then a 1 bed self contained rate. Regarding if sharing with other people or renting out a room - Im not sure how this would affect it so you need to be careful before entering into any contract - if in double you could speak to CAB.

Yea you can apply for a crisis loan for help with rent in advance but if you say its for a deposit/bond they will reject it. You can also sometimes apply for a budgeting loan and this depends on what benefits you are on and for how long. I will just add that my impression regarding these loans now is that you would pretty much have to be homeless to get one but I could be wrong. You could also join the Barnsley Credit Union, I think they do low cost loans to people and that might be a way round it. Other than the above - Im not familiar with anything - other than if you have children - social services? Good luck.

you could try aizlewood mills, they are near the wicker and they have small, medium and large rooms for hire.
