I called to cancel after a year and they persuaded me to keep on at same 'special introductory offer'.

You could employ a professional valuer. Your solicitor might recommend. The value of the house should be that on day of death. A valuer would take into account other similar properties sold around that time. If it sells for higher at a later date and on open market, the difference is taxed...

Looking at the data on new car purchases, I feel there is still a 'post covid' effect reflected in those figures. The change in working practices will have had an effect on car usage/need. Also with holidays/travel curtailed some people had increased wealth which resulted in a splurge in car...

Empty nester here also, house too large for two tho tiny garden is about right. I would only move to something that was already up to standard. Along with obvious upgrades of kitchen/bathroom there are the other costs less visible such as rewiring, renewal of heating/plumbing and better...

I suppose I will have to take one of the June appointments and meanwhile hope to be able to avail of an earlier one via the priority list. Obviously I would cancel the later one if lucky. This is only feeding into the issue of shortage of timely appointments.

My NCT is due in March and late June dates are coming up tho earlier ones are being offered at different centres. Is it sufficient cover to have an appointment booked albeit past the due date? I am not prepared to travel to far flung centre. I realise that the time period/cert for NCT will...

Yes anyone can be a witness as long as they are not mentioned in the will I think. So cleaning lady, office secretary, neighbour etc. Two witnesses required and must be present at the same time and witness you signing the document. Obviously they have no sight of the details of the document...
