Need help with safety concerns

10 years ago

Hi

We are building a house and are keen to have lots of glass doors and windows - especially in the back where the master bedroom and family area will open into a pool. We are however concerned about the safety of the house. Are there any suggestions of the best options to look for to minimise security risks? Suggestions will be most welcome! Thanks in advance.

By safety do you mean reducing the risk of break-ins or are you worried about someone accidentally being hurt by glass? You can always install security systems, cameras around or in the home, motion detectors inside and security lighting outside. Use tempered glass in any areas where you have concern that someone could get hurt by glass.

Hi there - yes, I'm aware of these restrictions and the solicitor is handing this as part of the negotiation. Yet another obstacle to navigate! The other interesting thing to note is that the contract T&Cs include a mandatory fee payable to the service management company for answering any queries relating to future resale of the property. This is a hefty fixed % of the agreed sale price. I gather that the fees charged by service management companies to leaseholders are currently under review - we should all have our say in this. BTW, Luciana, I agree developers do need to be more flexible and responsive. One would hope that trained architects and builders would be pleased that real people are actually going to live in the buildings they create, and not leave them empty like the dark, uninhabited desolation of large swathes of prime central London.

Need help with my Garden

Bearing in mind that you have young children, the focus of the garden in my opinion should be on them. A small patio/dining/relaxing area for adults near the house, and perhaps also at the end of the garden would be lovely. I would also have most of the garden redone in grass (real grass!) with room to play. And I would keep the fence... its the most practical having children near a river, even if they're not babies anymore. I would probably break up the unusual shape of the garden with a few pots, planters and borders 'sticking' out into the garden so the eye is drawn away from the sharp, narrow end. I agree with what was said above though about just living with the space for a bit and seeing how you use it.

Should have mentioned that this is on a property I really would like to buy as its needs refurbishment and in a good area. Don't know how old the extension is and the property is a probate sale so little info available. Place being surveyed next week but was hoping for any ideas of what the problem is before then. Thanks for any help :-)
