The solicitor's quote varies a lot depending on the Solicitor and type of property. It's usually around £1,500 to £2,000. The quotation I had gotten for a £250k house in June was £1,593 from L&C so yours is high but not too far off.

As for STRIKE vs Lloyds, I would say NEITHER. Get a good Mortgage Broker like L&C or any of the ones listed on this thread, better still, get recommendations from family or friends. A Mortgage Broker or Advisor would shop around the market and get you the best deal. Lloyds or any other Bank can give you AIP easily but deny your Mortgage application especially if you are on a Visa. I have so many Mortgage-in-principles from a number of Lenders but only Barclays Bank seems to actually give Mortgages to Visa holders without requiring 25% deposit or £100k income. A good Mortgage Broker knows these things and will review your application thoroughly for success. Lastly, the Mortgage Brokers are typically free of charge since they earn commission from the Lender.

I am no expert but these are my opinions.

thanks i contacted Land C and they said they will get in touch and i said i was refered and that they do give 20£ amazon voucher for referal if i tell them your name

1. Your affordability is the most important thing, if you've ran the numbers and it stack up wrt affordability, I'll say you can go ahead with the purchase. Timing the market is difficult if not impossible to achieve. Like the popular saying, the best time to buy was yesterday, the next best time is today.

2. Your post suggests you are buying an old build, so I'll say get a valuation report added to your survey. It will cost a few hundred pounds more, but it will be worth it. You can then use the figure from your valuation report as a guide on what to offer. You can also check price of similar properties in that area. The state of the property as revealed by the home survey can also be used as a guide on what to offer. All the best with your purchase.

Thanks for your reply
I actually put an offer it was rejected and i forgot about it but after some time the woman got back and accepted my offer now that she has accepted my offer im at the conveyencing stage.

Talking about conveyencing i got a qoute of 1990£ is that what is usually around please
also the survey i got a qoute around 540£ is that also a decent price please
Also do you guys advise i use the listing agencies for everything or i use my local bank, the listing agency is called STRIKE while i bank with lloyds and i have an AIP with both
thanks always for your replies all of you i massively appreciate

Microsoft Bing Chat - free

I use all, to have different perspectives on a subject matter but mostly use Gpt plus

Hi Guys,

Please i want to understand something.

Switching from a T4 to a T2 Visa will put you on a 5 year route to ILR. Which means you will require sponsorship for those 5 years till you get your ILR where you no longer require sponsorship to work in the UK right?

Now is that same for a person who switches from a T4 to a PSW first and then a T2, which will put the person on the 10 years route to ILR. Will the person also require continuous sponsorship till they obtain ILR in which they will no longer require sponsorship to continue to work in the UK?

Any form of legal stay in the uk counts towards the 10 year route, T4, PSW, T2 if all equal 10 years u get ILR.
T2 alone 5 years equal ILR

Advice from my AI (lol 🤭)

“ This is quite a personal decision and it depends on many factors, some of which include your long-term career goals, personal circumstances, risk tolerance, cultural openness, and interest in international development versus consulting.

Here are a few things to consider:

1. **Career Goals and Interests**: Are you more interested in consulting or in international development? The nature of work will be significantly different in these roles. The UNDP role may offer more opportunities to have a direct impact on communities and countries, while the consulting role may provide broader exposure to various industries and business problems.

2. **Compensation**: The UNDP role appears to offer a higher salary, but also consider the cost of living in the respective locations, as well as the currency you'll be paid in and its stability.

3. **Location and Lifestyle**: Living in Mali would likely be a very different experience than living in the UK. Consider whether you're open to such a dramatic change in lifestyle, the security situation, language barriers, and the distance from family and friends.

4. **Work Security and Progression**: UNDP roles often come with job security, good benefits, and a structured career progression, whereas the consulting role may be more competitive and fluid. However, consulting roles can often offer faster career progression if you perform well.

5. **Visa Sponsorship**: The UK consulting role is sponsored, which could be a significant advantage if you are seeking to live and work in the UK longer term.

6. **Cultural and Personal Growth**: Living and working in a different cultural context like Mali could provide a rich personal growth experience. It could also be more challenging and demanding.

At the end of the day, this is a deeply personal decision and what is right depends on your individual circumstances, aspirations, and values. I would recommend seeking advice from people who know you well and possibly speaking to professionals who have worked in both types of roles to get a better sense of what might be the best fit for you.”

abeg my chief whats the name of this your AI its so good
thanks

For colleagues working in the nhs i was wondering if anyone have hints about questions likely to be asked for a band 7 role in an allied health field specifically for sonography please.

Please guys i need your help
I book a turkish airway for my friend and he missed the flight, how don i get a refund please as he cant come again

jumpshot:


Unrelated but I just started reading you diary. More specifically I'm at the part where you lost your job. TBH I understand how frustrating it can be when you're doing your best for the family and your hubby isn't helping matters. I'm ashamed to say that my wife actually broke down in tears a few weeks ago and poured out her heart to me. That was when I realized what an ungrateful, selfish idiot I've been, because just like you, she has been the one footing basically ALL the bills since my business crashed and I've been here parading as man of the house, bitching about everything.

Anyway, that you are in the UK right now leads me to believe things turned around for you a bit. I hope so. If I may ask though, is it pertinent for the kids to be in the UK with you? I would think it would be way easier for them to be in Nigeria until you're done with schooling?

Na man u be takes some courage to admit this

Swears, you step away for a minute and theres a mountain of valuable knowledge/information to sift through.

Greetings to the ELDERS of this forum. It's being awhile, hope life has being good and kind to you all.

So, in the pursuit of happiness, I now walk the path of a Fullstack web developer. I will like to reach out to software engineers in this forum who would be kind to spare 15minutes of their time for a virtual coffee chat at your total convenience. I'd love to get to know what it is like in the industry and to make new friends and guides in this field.

I have a calendly link I can mail out if that's easier for scheduling purposes according to what time works best for you. Would post but don't want to risk nairaland's ban.

Anyways, nice to catch up with the house again.

I want to start this path too and will be happy if I can be under your guidance

deept:


Nairaland's quality is as good as the quality of people on it. I have bookmarked, shared, copied and forwarded the post. I usually dont read long posts but that wasn't long enough.

I was reading for 10mins and it felt like 1min
Actually good content is never long

I live in Sunderland which is very close to Newcastle. Newcastle is expensive but of course, not as expensive as London and the areas close to it. You can get a 2 bed unfurnished between 550 -650 depending on the location and taste. The weather is not bad, colder than Sunderland though and jobs are readily available, both factory and care jobs.

Boss I dey sunderland abeg apart from Hutchinson and that African shop on hylton where u dey get correct African stuff and which night club u dey attend
