Movers damaged or lost your things: your rights
Hired a firm to move your home and your things were damaged or lost? By law, every service carries a built-in quality standard — and remedies if it's breached.
Microchipping cats and dogs in England: it's now the law
In England both dogs and cats must be microchipped. Since 10 June 2024 a microchip is compulsory for cats too. Here's from what age, who is responsible, and the database rules.
Buying gold or silver in Britain: what a hallmark is and how to check it

Bought online and changed your mind: your 14-day right to cancel

When your home stands empty: what the law and the ombudsman say about insurance
Away for a long trip, in hospital, inherited a property or mid-renovation? If a home stands empty, standard insurance may stop covering damage. Here's how the rules and the ombudsman see it.

RTS meters are being switched off: how to tell if you have one, and what happens to your heating

London's Russian corner: why Bayswater has a Moscow Road and a St Petersburgh Place
A short walk from Hyde Park, in Bayswater, Moscow Road sits beside St Petersburgh Place and St Petersburgh Mews. Their names recall a single event from 1814.
Guarantors when renting in England: what they cover and why you can't be charged a fee
A landlord may ask for a guarantor, but the law bans charging the tenant a fee for one and limits the payments you can lawfully be asked for.
A high-rate regular saver: why your deposits earn about half the headline
Banks advertise regular saver accounts at tempting rates — 6, 7, sometimes 8% a year. But at the end of the year people are often surprised: the interest is noticeably less than they expected from that rate on all their deposits. It is not a trick — the interest simply is not calculated on the whole sum at once. Here is the plain explanation.
Shared ownership: buying a share of a home — how it works and the catches
Shared ownership is a way to buy a home when you cannot afford a full mortgage: you buy a share of the property (usually 25% to 75%, sometimes from 10%) and pay rent on the rest to a housing association or developer. You can buy more shares later. Here is who qualifies, what the costs are and what to know in advance.
Quote or estimate: why a tradesperson's figure can rise — or must not
You hire someone for home work and they give you a figure. But one word decides whether it can go up later. A quote is a firm, binding price: agree it and that is what you pay. An estimate is only a rough guess that can change. Here is the difference, what the law says, and how to avoid a bill twice what you were promised.
Zero-deposit renting: you pay less now, lose the money and still owe
No-deposit schemes (zero deposit, deposit replacement) look tempting: instead of a refundable deposit of five weeks' rent, you pay a small NON-refundable fee. But you lose that money for good and remain just as liable for damage as with a normal deposit. Here is how it differs from a real deposit and who it actually suits.
The Global Talent visa: no employer, no sponsor — through endorsement
The key difference between the Global Talent visa and the Skilled Worker visa: it does NOT need an employer sponsor or a job offer. You need an endorsement from an approved body in your field — science and research, arts and culture, or digital technology — or a prestigious prize from the eligible list. Here is who qualifies, how it works and what it gives.
An unmarried partner inherits nothing: the no-will rules in England
The most dangerous myth about inheritance in England: that long-term common-law partners inherit from each other. They do not. With no will, the intestacy rules apply, and an unmarried partner automatically inherits NOTHING — however many years you lived together and whether or not you have children. Here is who inherits, in what order, and what a partner can do.
NS&I: Guaranteed Growth Bonds or Income Bonds — the difference and which to pick
NS&I is the UK's government-backed savings bank, and money held there is 100% secure through HM Treasury, not just up to £85,000. Two of its popular products, Guaranteed Growth Bonds and Guaranteed Income Bonds, have almost identical names but work differently: one builds up interest inside the bond, the other pays it out to you every month. Here is who each suits.
Scammed into a bank transfer: when the bank must refund you, and how much — up to £85,000
Since 7 October 2024 the UK has a strict rule: if you were tricked into transferring money to a fraudster, the bank must give it back — up to £85,000 per claim, within five business days. It is called APP reimbursement. Here is who the rule protects, the deadline to claim, what it covers and when the bank can refuse.
The Priority Services Register: who qualifies for free extra help from energy and water companies
A free list you can join because of your age, a health condition, a pregnancy — or simply because English is hard. It buys priority in an emergency, a password against doorstep scammers and bills in large print. You have to join in two places at once.
Moving mid-year: how to get a school place when the main round closed months ago
It is called an in-year application, and it goes to the council rather than the school. The familiar deadlines — 15 January for primary, 31 October for secondary — have nothing to do with a mid-year move.
