    RPA Online mapping changes

    I submitted a change online for the first time a couple of days ago. It wouldn’t accept my file so I waited 24hrs, still failed to upload it, keep clicking and eventually it accepted it! There seems to be a bug in the system but perseverance paid off eventually but was a waste of time! (Made...

    Dealers not keen enough?

    I have never understood why when a farmer is having a demo, the dealer doesn't ask the farmer if it would be okay if a few other neighbours could come and have a look at the same time. I often hear, sometimes after the event, of neighbouring farmers having a demo of something interesting and...

    New Building

    My Landlord will no longer allow anything to be classed as Tenant's Improvement, at most I would get it as a Tenant's Fixture so leave it or remove it at the end of the tenancy. Also the possible future alternative uses would not have been allowed by my Landlord, it is farming only or they would...

    New Building

    I had this same dilemma 15 years ago, AHA tenant needing new grain storage. I luckily owned a small block with road access a mile away and decided that although I would have to cart further and on classified roads I would build on my own land rather than landlord’s. This involved electric...

    NROSO- Does anybody here work for them?

    I have always paid by direct debit but for some reason they did not collect it just before Christmas. I was informed by letter I was late paying so rang them up and they could give no reason as to why they had not called on the direct debit and I paid by card then and there. 3 weeks later had...

    Asbestos encapsulation

    Thanks, I’m hearing what I expected! i thought it would be too good to be true! Only option realistically I think is to strip and reroof. Looking for a handy commercial roofer Oxfordshire area if anyone has any recommendations.

    Asbestos encapsulation

    I understand the pros and cons of applying spray foam to the underside of asbestos roof sheets. i had never come across external encapsulation until a local builder told me about it. This is where the roof is thoroughly cleaned and spray foam is applied to the outside of the sheets and then...
