but won't most new build buyers have this same issue though?

unadopted roads and all

Just asking for experiences from new build owners

Since we're learning, I would give you a recent example........

I was chatted up by one of us here ........ He/She was about to buy a newish build....... The property in question had a parking space for about 3 cars ........

Now the clincher......... The property owner would not own those parking spaces, those spaces are owned by management company, you would have to pay, to park your cars, in front of your own house (not off street parking)..........😁😜

Everyone buying, would have the same issue..... But they can't feign ignorance (because their solicitor, would have highlighted it).........

profemebee:
how much can road maintenance be though? how often?

Isn't this already tied to the annual management service charge?

You seem so so determined to buy this property........ 😂😜

Sinister in what way? Strict perhaps, but also justifiable unless you expect the government to continue to turn a blind eye to unsustainable levels of migration coupled with rampant immigration abuse in certain sectors.

Sinister is what I would call the African and Asian care operators/agencies/brokers who were charging up to £15,000 for a sponsorship certificate that they obtained for less than £300 from the government. Bringing thousands in and having no work to give them (despite so called shortages in the care sector). Sinister are the agents who were attaching fake spouses onto their clients' applications without their knowledge. (Yes I've heard of instances where this has happened), and many other examples. I'm not sure why people are not directing their frustration towards these individuals.


The government isn't boxing anyone into care, in fact the recent policies are designed to restrict the number of immigrants going into care.

The landscape will settle for sure, but gone are the days of "buy 1 cos, get 2 free".

Immigration BOGOF ........😁😜

Baba, you came here when UK was UK, now it is you ok

UK don turn youkay .......😂

We all still feel the heat..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😜

profemebee:
me sef cant be forced to pay/contribute then lol

What should the solicitor do in this case?

If the unadopted road is managed by a management body........ They might have the financial leverage, to offer you a pocket friendly loan, if you refuse to pay .......

Litigation would be engaged and a charge would eventually be charged to your property (you would not win).........😂😁

Your solicitor CAN only highlight and inform prior..... If you decide to exchange....... You already exchanged your rights.....😂😁

deept:
Mehn!!!! We need to watch our health and try to be financially literate so we don't need to depend on the govt and care when we get older. I'm guessing a lot of us here are 'youngish' and we should start planning for retirement not getting the high paying jobs but how to keep as much of our money as we can and make more.

I'm thinking a life in the UK- money thread will be good

We already have a life and property thread ........ That should be the next layer.........

Although it's already discussed on this pick n mix thread.........😁

deept:
For new build estates, the builder usually set up a management company to look after the estate. Councils usually do not adopt some of the roads in new builds because they do not want to take on the liability plus sometimes the roads are knot built to standard, the builder cutting costs so the cost of maintenance will be passed on to the residents via a management company set up by the builder. If you look in your tp1, it should all be there. The
Management company in this case will be responsible. They will fix the road and send you your share of the bill.

Which could be unexpectedly high ........ Government should keep fixing my road........😂

profemebee:
for just my side of the road or the entire road that bears the street name?

This means property searches should be done earlier so people know.. at least early in the house buying stage..

responsible? like fixing the road?

is there any hope of government adopting the road?

People that reside on unadopted roads, would be responsible for all the road........ If your neighbour is happy with a battered/flooded/potholed road...... You cannot force them to pay/contribute....... 😁😜

That's why your conveyancing solicitor, is worth their £......

What's in it for the government, to adopt it....... (unless a top politician buys on that road)..... 🤣

Kidnapping, the new crude oil ........🤔

hustla:
By all means, care for the vulnerable but it should be done out of love (Rita Dominic spoke about doing this recently) and not as a last resort or because the Gov makes policies to deliberately edge every tom, dick, and Harry towards caring for them. I did not just mention money, I mentioned other factors which will affect the family and upward mobility in the future.

I am certain that 99% of Nigerians if given the global talent visa or ILR from day 1 would not opt for care (I AM NOT SAYING CARE IS NOT GOOD OOOOO FOR THE CARE BRIGADE AND ARMY BEFORE UNA ATTACK ME)

Remember, someone would need to care for us too, possibly when we hit our geriatric zones....... One good turn, deserves another.......😂

How much is money ....... When love/care exists in your heart.......😁

hustla:
Will be interesting to see in the next few months. I have searched and searched and this is the only country boxing immigrants into living a life on minimum wage. The effects in the next 7 - 10 years will be insane as most migrants will be stuck at the lower end of society and representation at the upper ends will be further limited (that is where I want to see fellow Nigerians)

The good thing though is that the £38K thing does not affect those who have just graduated but I see a sizable number of Nigerian students leaving the UK (a lot have left already or are planning to leave) as most of the policies are downright sinister and meant to restrict your upwards mobility.

That is exactly why I am always against the care thing or staying too long in it, as I see it as a carefully crafted way to push you into being lower class all your life, which will likely affect your kids too unless careful planning is put in place. Long hours away from family, low pay, and interactions with mostly low-class white people who are all out to drag you to their level, eventually it gets to you and your kids by extension.

I expect things to free up a bit within 1 yr and changes to be made, maybe a bit more stability

Why are you always thinking about the money......... What happened to the love and caring for the vulnerable, in our society........😜😂

Remember, money is not everything.........😁

🎉🏡 Testimony Time! 🎉🏡

Guess who just conquered the infamous property ladder? That's right — yours truly! 🙌 After an exhilarating journey filled with twists, turns, and a whole lot of learning, I finally got the keys to my very own slice of heaven, just two days after sealing the deal.

Let me drop some key pointers for those eager to embark on their own property adventure:

Lisa Isn't for Everyone: If you're eyeing a cozy abode in London or certain sought-after spots, Lisa might not be your knight in shining armor. I learned this the hard way, but hey, lessons are part of the journey, right?

Solicitors: The Unsung Heroes (or Villains): Oh boy, let me tell you — the role of solicitors in this process cannot be overstated. They can either be your best friends, smoothing out every bump in the road, or the stuff of nightmares, throwing obstacles in your path. Choose wisely!

Believe in the Power of Possibility: Through every hurdle, setback, and moment of doubt, one thing kept me going: the unwavering belief that anything is possible. And let me tell you, standing in my new home, that belief has never felt more real.

So, to all the dreamers out there eyeing their own spot on the property ladder, remember this: the journey may be challenging, but the view from the top? Absolutely worth it. 🌟🏠 #NewHomeJoy #PropertyAdventure

The type of news we love to read ......... Congratulations......🎉🎉🎉
