Anyone know UK schools with deposit fees less than 3-4k pounds ?? Lowest I have had so far is 6k deposit for university of stirling

BettyO11:


Please what of Salford University. Is it a good school? Please who has experience or information about this school?

Ticha:


It's not part of the mortgage o. You could potentially get a loan but it'll be extra costs that can make or mar the enjoyment of the property. You'll have to fund it from your pocket. Not all 'old' houses need renovation.

You can buy a fully renovated Georgian house (200 years old at least) and not need to lift a finger apart from move in. Same as a Mock Tudor or Victorian (100 to 150 years old) to Art Deco (1920s/1930s).

It's just that for some of us, the thrill of the buy includes putting our own stamp on it.

Goodenoch:


Depends entirely on the house you buy. Just like buying a used car. The amount it'll take to fix a Range Rover that has been abused will be massively different from the cost to fix a Toyota that has been scrupulously serviced. You can buy an old build that's basically turnkey - for instance if it was just refurbished or has been maintained and updated over time. If you're buying an Edwardian-era property with subsidence, plumbing the hasn't been updated since its construction, terrible insulation, no double glazing, etc., that'll very likely be months and several tens of thousands in cost.

In short, you need to assess each house on its own merits and go with a builder if you can, or note down issues and get quotes before making an offer so you can factor the costs into what you're willing to pay upfront.

Hope you have enough money for the renovation or time to diy it yourself.

Older houses, though lovely and generally have more land, need a lot more tlc.

Not usually a problem but tradesmen, if they even bother to show up, have being daylight robbers. Materials cost too is

Someone who naively underestimated the cost.

Ticha:


Yes o! Older houses every single time. Just bought a 160 year old house! Can't wait to move in and start the refurbishment.

You will always get people for and against New Builds/Old builds. I believe you should make a decision more on your personal requirements. what is the size of your family? would it grow bigger? would you like the place 3 or 4 years down the line or you will just be managing it. What you consider as small room might be just enough space for other people. You had highlighted earlier that the new builds you are seeing are pricey and have tiny rooms, if that is a deal breaker for you then go with old as they are more affordable usually more spacious. Do your due diligence if you decide on old build as some might require some TLC you which might mean budget for renovation. I have noticed that most people that have been in the UK for longer tend to prefer old build, while the newer migrant(3-4 years) go for new builds. Ee sure me say e get experience wey these old timers dey see wey we no know. On a personal note we are going for a new build now but we might likely would transition into an old build later down the line (the shine shine of new build dey enter my eyes.lol).

u don’t even need a stamp pad. Learnt it from them. Use your black or blue ink pens and paint the fingerprint part of your ‘finger’ … each one. Then press onto the paper.

The only thing that took my time was getting a stamp pad for fingerprinting. I literally got the certificate in 3days, I was so impressed at how seamless and superfast it was. A police officer I contacted was telling me 45k plus DHL waybill to the UK, God pass them!!!

Thanks brother. Been trying that website and it's giving errors since. I'll try again at night.

Sounds like £25k gross annual. Somewhat lower than the national average but also around the graduate pay range and very liveable.

It's impossible for anyone to tell you whether it's good enough or not - that depends on your qualifications/experience and your plans. Either way, you should definitely be aiming to find a better job. You can start applying to better jobs with your qualifications, or you can decide to stay a while, get the experience and and aim for something higher in the same customer service field.

As to care - again it depends on you. I've heard that people can make a lot more than that but it depends on if you're willing to do it. If it's something you'd like to do, sure go for it. In fact I'd even say maybe take on a shift or two and then decide if you want to continue. Should not be difficult to get an agency to sign you up.

My wife also resumed same role with Lloyd’s bank sometime in September, and a good number of those that joined with her left for better roles before the end of their 10 weeks training. She just started NYSC before we left Nigeria, so she practically has no serious experience. The plan is for her to gain some experience before she starts applying to other places. I would say it all depends on what you plan to do in the long run. But if you have immediate financial obligations you feel care jobs can settle quicker, you can go that route as well.
