Chreze: Thanks Chreze for always having me in mind. I appreciate the all responses (Healthyliving, Umarwy and Pearlyfaze) on my issue. I cherished the sincere advices. I am already working out on keeping the kids here but will like to give more insight. My 16yr kid will turn 17 by April and was in final class in Nigeria b4 we moved. He is expected to register for WAEC latest tomorrow, write WAEC & JAMB before June. I have not be able to secure permanent accommodation yet and all my kids are not back to school after 3wks in Scotland. I am just thinking allowing him to return will give additional opportunity to possibly apply to any other university/college outside UK. I know that will be at a cost. The house search is causing me serious stress and making it difficult to take a clear decision. 1 Like |

Chreze: @Chreze, I am gradually finding myself in same situation you were ![]() ![]() ![]() Getting house in UK no be come chop despite being ready for long term rent or paying 6 months in advance. Knowing that I have only 1wk remaining, I have approached my BNB owner for permanent stay and he is willing to offer only 4 months. He is fully booked after May. My dilemma is that if I take this offer now, I will need to look for another house after May and likely change schools for kids. Any advice on this? ![]() ![]() |

Maturedhustler: What has been the exact response you have been getting from letting agency? What area is your university? Have you looked at the possibility to commute 30min -1hr? You might try adjusting your budget. You might try adjusting the size of houses you are looking at. For your kids try to get them in contact with a career advisor from your council, they will assist in helping them identify a possible career path. What ever career they decide they like there are different ways to archive that ( apprenticeship, internship, online courses, YouTube). I advise you should explore the available options and decide. I strongly suggest you should make the call to the council. They can register for waec and write it online or go back to write it (online/offline). And application for universities can be done from anywhere. Good luck 2 Likes |

Maturedhustler: If I were to be in this situation, here’s what I will do. @17yr, he’s a full Nigerian. So taking WAEC would be a very good decision as it gives him a stand as a Nigerian (it’s also a plus now for Univeristy search and in the future as Nigerian). For the house, I will take it (if the price is not bad or too bad) as it’s the only place for my family to rest at the moment. There is a saying in Nigeria, “instead of full cow go escape you cut the tail”. 4months added search time is not bad. Now taking this 4months offer is tricky cos if you get an apartment tomorrow, then story don de. So I will advice you use the first 2months to just check houses requirement that you think you don’t meet, work on them and strategize on your next search pattern. Also use the first 2months to focus on other aspects of your current situation (the kids). After the first 2months, you can then intensify your house search again. For the kids school, if you take this 4months offer and they continue (or start) school, then when you get a new apartment, you can just get the student bus pass for 1year from the new apartment to their school (or you calculate the time to next school registration time for ticket purchase). This one year will give you time to figure every other thing out. Remember that there is a chance that the house you get after 4months may not be the perfect house for you and your family, it may just be a place to stay after the 4months. So them having that 1year ticket will give everybody time. If after the 4months the house you get is far, then they just have to wake up earlier than before to get ready and meet up. (You can explain to them it’s their own sacrifice to live abroad. This abroad thing everyone has to contribute in their own little way for it to be successful). I think this is what I will do. You can add it with what others will reply and make a good decision. The house search is crazy and sometimes difficult to explain. But I see Glasgow like a blessed land and any/everyone who steps into the city will get his or her own blessing, so don’t stress much, just let things play out themself. 6 Likes |
