It just seems such an odd amount (£10.50 rather than £10 a year) that it looks like a guinea amount.
Maybe there's a groats equivalent 😂
England still have to play New Zealand and Sri Lanka, but even if we win those qualification from the group will almost certainly come down to net run rate, and Australia, who still have Afghanistan to play, will put huge pressure on England if they crush Ireland this morning.
All England's fault for letting themselves get behind the DLS par score against Ireland when the weather was so suspect.
Anybody could do the conveyancing if it is a relatively normal transaction. So as long as the solicitor or licensed conveyancer has an overview, a trained team of administrative staff can do the bulk of the work.
Not sure what the solution is, really. A better set of guidelines so people can do most of it themselves. Just get a lawyer involved for the few necessary bits .... But of course none of them would work for you on that basis. Would be good though.
Also the service from Land Registry seems to have gone seriously downhill in recent years.
I'm hoping to learn from these 2 experiences and next year when I (hopefully) buy another place I'm seriously tempted to give it a go. Only thing that deters me a bit is when you buy leasehold there's a bit more 'legal' stuff involved with checking the lease. (compared to freehold.)
Land Registryalmost all public services seems to have gone seriously downhill inrecent yearsthe 10 years of Tory slash and burn.Fixed it for you
It took the DVLA 6 months to transfer registration of my deceased brother’s car to my name and the reason they gave whenever I complained was “our staff are working from home and don’t have full access to the system”. This was despite the “system” allowing me to tax it online but it just double taxed it in my brother’s name even when all the relevant paperwork had been forwarded. Excuse given was the paperwork is in the office somewhere.
Thorn, if the problem was that the staff WFH didn't have access to all parts of the system, maybe something should have been done to give them access. Seeing as all the research shows people are more efficient when working from home, take less sick leave, and have a better work life balance. I'd have thought the ideologues in favour of increased public sector efficiency would have been all over that!
Less sick leave is obvious because you can’t stay at home sick because you’re already there 😀
2. Actually, many say they prefer to be in the office, or would prefer hybrid working.
3. . Of course when you wfh you are expected to work. It's easy to see if someone isn't.
4. You can still be sick and take a day off doing work when you are wfh.
The bottom line is, despite the myths and stereotypes about wfh, most people (wherever they work from) are conscientious and work hard and want to do a good job.
Some - in both public and private sectors - are lazy or not that bothered, and they'll be that way wherever they are. I've seen many who perfect the skive without wfh. Whether its a cigarette break, taking the long way round to get to/come back from a mtg, long lunches on the day the boss is out of the office.... shoving everyone back into the commute and the office won't change that.
I do think hybrid's the best. Junior employees need to be able to talk to senior ones to learn and progress. It's even more important if you work in a field where exchange of ideas helps, though in something like processing documents in the Land Registry, maybe that actually would slow things down. But I think having some time at home helps with things like doctors appointments and kids. People don't have to spend time travelling back home to pick up their kids or into the office after an appointment, they just go straight back to work.
I can't decide if I want them to lose because, well, they're Spurs, or I'd rather they stay in the CL which they've no chance of winning whereas they'd have much more of a chance in the EL. 🤔🤔🤔
I'd like to suggest that if the mortgage lenders want certain reassurances they should pay for them. Or have an in- house lawyer to give things a look over. That could be part of the revamping of the system to make it better.
