    CGT on sale of inherited House

    Yes - terminology is incorrect JPD So, it's up to the executor and not the individuals to complete the CGT on the sale. But can each sibling complete their own CGT return for this - without the allowance ? TMcG - will ask that question. thx

    CGT on sale of inherited House

    Hi, My parents house was sold recently, which sold for 100,000 over the market value. That is divided between 5 of us siblings. Is it as simple as cgt bill of 20K each = 20000 - 1270 allowance = 18730 * 33% = 6180 bill each ? We haven't live in the house for years. Any other items to look...

    Cost to hang 4 doors, is it too much?

    during the boom years - it was a e100 to hang a door - in a new build. frame, door & fittings. most carpenters use a router and a gig - and get a door fitted very quick without having to do a frame too. You should be able to get it done cheaper than that. Like the poster said = e400 for 2/3...

    quality of bathroom furniture

    imo - stay away from woodies, B&Q, ikea etc. Best place is tubs & tiles. The others are super cheap for a reason and you can see/feel the quality of the units/bowls/basins. Even cheap tiles are not worth it. keep an eye out for tubs & tiles sales - usually very good value. no connection to...

    By all means continue with the local council route. But do not let them start, continue or finish any timber work overhanging your property. If they end up with a finished overhang (gutters, soffet etc) this will all end up in court over years and could cost you. please keep us up to date as...

    Neighbours want to extend across boundary

    I know I will get guff for saying this but it's just the way I view people like your neighbours and their builders - these are the folks that will blagg, lie and push their way through life. They could not care less about your letters, agreements or anything else. If I was in your situation -...

    Multi media hard drive

    I have a different system - a popcorn hour. But with the wd hd - you are future proofing yourself for a good time. The sd media player are ok but the internal hd's are not great. For the extra e60 -get the wd unit and 1tb hd. I had 24gb blu-ray files in m2ts format and encoded them down to 6gb...
