Can I check tattlers - a leasehold means someone owns the flat itself - the walls and floors etc. Whereas the freeholder owns the land and building itself, right?

my understanding was in a small block of flats usually one set of owners had the freehold of the building? And they usually owned a flat within the building as well, whereas all other flats are leasehold only, with a leasehold usually lasting about 100 years. Alternatively sometimes the freehold is shared amongst the flat owners, and they form a residents association.

With larger flat buildings, I thought it was usually a company (often the construction company that built them; making them v lucrative) that was the freeholder/landlord.

Terms of the lease (including anything RE pets) shouldn’t be a surprise to Nelly. She should have made sure she understood that before, yano, signing up to the huge financial undertaking that is a mortgage. It doesn’t add up that she’s wanted a dog forever and yet didn’t check the terms of the leasehold for pets, especially since the terms can be negotiated prior to a sale.

So much of what she posts doesn’t make sense in fact.

• if owning a dog was so important and she’s wanted one for years, why didn’t she actually check the terms of the leasehold during the sale? It makes no literal sense to buy a property and not check something that important to you, is actually possible.

• it’s possible to adopt a rescue dog without a garden but it’ll probably take longer - if this is important why didn’t they look for a flat with a garden or communal garden?

• she says they can’t afford a house - but she owns two flats doesn’t she? Why didn’t she sell her old flat and combine the proceeds to buy a bigger place with B?

• if you check companies house, she’s listed as a member of a resident association for her old flat. So she surely understood how a freehold vs a leasehold worked before buying this second flat?

It looks to me as though dog ownership was something they’d only considered recently, after the purchase, and they were potentially a bit silly with checking the T&Cs, so she’s posting this as a way to make people feel sorry for her?

As is usually the case with Helena Haycock, it’s all bizarre and nonsensical. I feel like she isn’t being honest or genuine here.

I think it sucks how difficult it is to try and get a pet if renting or living in a flat, but as someone who owns a dog… so many dog owners are totally irresponsible. Especially with noise. A barking dog isn’t deemed to be antisocial if it’s kept indoors - but it can be highly, highly disruptive. And if you get one barking dog, it usually sets off all others in the vicinity. So if everyone owned a dog it could become a real issue.

we bought a house (and we were only able to because we are both decent earners and my OH had a big chunk in savings) with a garden with a dog in mind. We’d checked the garden etc was ok for dogs right off the bat. I just can’t understand how they’d miss something like this if they’d always wanted a dog.

owning a dog and being responsible for it - is a totally different kettle of fish than when your parents own a dog. I just can’t picture Nelly being able to care for one. She relies on B for everything by the looks of things. A dog still needs a walk and socialisation even if you feel anxious and don’t wana go outside. Dogs will be anxious and loud and disruptive when settling into a new home - Nelly doesn’t come across as someone who has a good frame of mind to deal with that, and potential lack of sleep, mess, furniture being destroyed etc.

Also owning any animal means you put their needs before your own ...she's way to self absorbed to be capable of that!
 
Pretty sure she was recently looking at houses on rightmove?
A bit off topic and I’m sure this has been discussed before but I can’t believe she’s got an insta for her home as if there’s something to look at?? Her flat looks so plain and devoid of personality, especially the tv corner just looks like she can’t afford decor or furniture? It looks like an airbnb or like they’re about to move and have packed their stuff up and stored it away

she was, she “accidentally” uploaded it as a link.
Although tbf, my other half looks at houses all the time that are wildly out of budget, doesn’t mean we are about to buy one :LOL:

she just doesn’t make sense. Nothing she says adds up.

she’s a bit of an odd person, her old flat didn’t even have a TV. Very bare, very bland and plain.

weirdly it reminded me of an old flatmate who basically owned the flat I briefly lived in - shedecorated it very plainly and refused to make it homely. She was a very troubled girl (on meds for depression, recovering ED etc) and she was very prone to self sabotaging behaviour. I always interpreted her choice of decor as denying herself luxuries or a nice place to live, combined maybe with being out of touch with herself and not really even knowing what she liked.

maybe it’s the same with old Helena. Who knows.

don’t you need to have had things planned to be able to “clear” your afternoon?

I don’t think it counts as clearing your afternoon when all you had planned was moping around feeling sorry for yourself

I don’t know about you but day 1-2 of my period is by far the worst and if she’s suffering like she says she is it’s quite interesting that she managed to pause this monthly bedbounding debilitating pain to go see her pal

I’m fairly certain she reads here, and we frequently comment on how she doesn’t seem to leave the flat and doesn’t seem to have friends.

so she makes a point of documenting leaving the house and makes a point of saying she’s meeting up with a friend.

She wears the same thing all the time. Black hoodie and leggings and that bag

literally. I think she buys a haul of outfits (from House if CB or similar) just for 1. To make it into content and 2. In the hopes she’ll be chosen for a collab.

she then presumably lists it on Depop etc. to make some money back.

she then spends 24/7 on the black leggings and grim hoody combo. She had a teddy style fleece hoody that we commented on on tattle because it just looked like a dirty rag.

I’m sorry but what content did she actually post for Halloween?
She did duck all 😂

This story is actually insulting... there are so many people breaking their backs 8 hours a day and struggling to make ends meet right now, and she's 'wiped out' from buying a costume on Amazon and sticking a pumpkin on her head ? Does she not realise how lucky she is to be able to fanny about all day when she has no obvious talent or creativity? Get a grip, woman.
