Leaseholds and freeholds

We are thinking of buying a leasehold flat, but no-one seems to know for sure who the freeholder is - neither the vendor nor the estate agents. The agents have tried searching on the Land Registry website to no avail. Can anyone recommend someone with expertise in locating such details at the Land Registry ?

Masks Exemptions  - Please Stop & Think

The whole “no mask, no entry” debate has made the lives of those with hidden disabilities unbearable. Life for those with mask exemptions is now a living hell. AnxietyPTSDClaustrophobiaAutismHearing/speech difficultiesRape VictimsTrauma VictimsAbuse VictimsAll valid exemptions which are invisible. People who are exempt should not need to fear questioning. In person or by forum bullies. A persons health is private, the same as their health records.Should these people be forced to stay at home, unable to feed their children just because you are fortunate enough not to suffer from the same problems they do? Should they just be shut inside with their only option a delivery?Maybe, they would find it easier to stay home if those of you who are terrified of a virus with a 99.9% recovery rate hadn’t booked up all the delivery slots.I know local people who are unable to wear a mask, who read the comments in this forum, the shamming, the intimidation and the total lack of empathy. They are scared to leave their homes.Think twice before you confront/criticise others.

Chiswick Farmers Market

Visited the Farmer’s Market today and there was some beautifully crafted foods etc... and the Sourdough bread I bought has now almost gone. Egg on toast for breakfast and now some bread and the cheese that I bought there as well; my word, I’m done for the day eating. Well done and good luck to all the traders at Chiswick Farmers Market.

Restrictions possibly until may

Then what > July > Sept Is it now time all those in parliament on the front benches get together and get some plan in place for what one would call daily LIVING. Most small buisneses say they have just enough cash reserves to march at best and then for many its likely to be all over. Can we carry on with Pm updates followed by rishi updates every time the restrictions are extended and Kier telling us every week everything is to late and not much else. Im beginning to wonder how many people in many aspects will be able to survive. I dont see much except  "Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives" popping up everywhere on a hourly basis and i say that as its popping up more and more on social media let alone TV

Been so long I lost track - including the fact LendLease sold the site on..https://phpdonline.co.uk/news/great-marlborough-estates-acquires-landmark-site-on-chiswick-high-road-from-lendlease/Its all go on the High Road, isnt it...

Internet delivery Personel

I have been using Internet shopping delivery's on and off for over a year,Just a word of caution, I am finding the lack of social distancing and PPE (a mask)seems to be increasing while the pandemic has got worse.So now I have taken to leaving a mask by the front door to put on if someone is determined enough to get you to open the door and shove a parcel in your hand.Most delivery drivers are happy enough to leave you parcel on the door step and ring the bell after they have taken a photo of the parcel being there. Is anyone else finding how cumbersome Sainburys delivery's are?After you have to unload your food off the creates into your bags at the front door, or is it me just being over the top.

Robert Jenrick on radio 4 this morning

He said that he was proud how they shielded the vulnerability for  people and homeless during this Covid-19.I didn’t find one bit  of sympathy with this interview .Quite the opposite.

BBC Licence renewal

I've just received the renewal, but over the past 11 months during the pandemic, their offerings have been abysmal. I no longer believe the BBC offers value for money, I wish there was a way to block BBC channels so that this wretched fee doesn't have to be paid.

Why are Etate Agents working in their offices in Chiswick?

I walked past several Estate Agents on my daily walk yesterday and was surprised to see so many staff.Most property software is in the cloud so they could work from home.

Will all Hounslow Streetspace Schemes now be removed? Surely they must.

With the decision of Mrs Justice Lang it must be that all the Hounslow Streetspace schemes must now go.  It is quite a damming ruling, stating that the Claim succeeded on 4 out of 5 grounds.  Yes there can be an appeal, and yes there might be some taxi bits to it, but Justice Lang has a track record and a good sense on whether appeals are likely to succeed or not, and also there are plenty of non taxi precedents on rationality and Public sector equality duty.  She even went on to criticise TfL for behaviour and approach, which is unusual.Seems to me that it was a common sense ruling, to say otherwise would be to say cycleways and Covid traffic measures trump the Equality Act 2010 or Wednesbury on the issue of rationality.  And that would be irrational.Will Hounslow Council now sue TfL for illegal guidance.  How much will it cost to repay all of those PCNs issued illegally. Getting on and removing the schemes would be a good start.

I-Pad online instructions how to use

Help some clever bod on here.   I've been given a mini iPad.   It's been linked to my old Microsoft desktop commuter and some but not all emails work on both - not too worried about that.   However, I do not really know how to properly use the I-pad.   I'm typing this on it and will be able to submit it.   That's about it.   I can surf the net but then struggle to do much with any info I see how to forward the info etc. Very simply, is there a utube or similar "how to use" instruction programme available  that I could follow to teach myself.  There are symbols top right that I have to guess at - get the page with a pen, also the swooping arrow but after that,  no idea.   I really like the ease of typing on the iPad keyboard and like having it in the sitting room rather than having to move to another room where my main computer is.   Thanks.

Medical grade face masks

Should we be wearing medical grade face masks. It looks like some countries are going to insist on them in shops and public transport. At £3 each, one use this is going to be pretty pricey.
