Hello people, Please what is the process to get NI for a new student? How do people go about paying for 6 months rent in advance? The estate agents I approached are unwiling to listen |

Hi guys, please I need assistance with this issue. I bought a car last year with a mileage of 136k, and insurance was £1,234. I know I made a very huge mistake but I was a novice. My Question is how can I reduce the insurance? I’m planning on selling off the car in 6 months time and get another one with lesser mileage, should I sell it off immediately or wait till the 6months? I just don’t want to continue paying this high insurance. What can I do in this situation? 2 Likes |

Are you sure the insurance is due to the car. Are you new in the UK? If yes, that might be average you get for insurance. It might even be more depending on the location. To answer your question, you can always sell whenever you want. Selling it now might mean you will lose the months of insurance history you have acquired. Bengi3000: 1 Like |

Temi231: I believe you can. As a matter of fact, I opened a Wise (Transfer wise) account without a UK phone number, I typed in my Nigerian number plus the dialing code. The only thing I did was put in a UK address of a trusted person as my address so my card could get delivered to them. Transfer wise is another good option, just realised I forgot to mention them. |

omopapa: If you are not going to hang on to the property for more than 5 years, then you are better off renting. Reason being when you add up the stamp duty , solicitors fees, mortgage fees, repairs during ownership etc ..then it might be better off renting. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Lexusgs430: Some old buildings will cost you so much to heat up because they have not been insulated properly and there is only so much you can do. The new buildings on the other hand are eco friendly and well insulated. Depending on the location most of their rooms are very big and they are so warm during the winter periods, you don’t really need the heating on for long periods. 2 Likes |

I still disagree cus the value of the property after 5 years will most likely not be the same. The rent you are paying is lost (i.e rent money is dead money ~ oga lexusgs430) phyl123: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by phyl123: 9:19pm On Mar 08, 2022 |
omopapa: Stamp duty , solicitors fee and mortgage fees are all lost money if you are keeping the property for lees than 5 years, there is no guarantee that the property will go up in value within 5 years . It also depends on the location of the property. 4 Likes |
