abuhusna1:God bless you Sir. I am really grateful for this. I also saw some properties that where bought like 16 years ago for a high amount being sold for peanut now like 3k 5k and so on. Although looking at the property it looks clean inside. Is it worth considering these properties to buy? |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by abuhusna1: 5:57am On Sep 07 |
jesmond3945:Those are guide price to lure many investors to buy them. The property may sell at 30 yo 40k ar the end. Moreso their is always legal pack you can read to know what is wrong with a house before bidding. Some nothing to fix especially in area like sunderland, durham, hull and middlesbrough. Check past auction to have idea how much least properties were sold |

We got the keys to our new home on Friday. The process took over five months. Thanks to @lexus, jedisco, solumtoya and every other person who contributes to this thread. My wife and I got almost Β£7000 from LISA (bonus and interest). 15 Likes |

We did viewings for about two months before we found what we like. After our offer was accepted, we instructed our solicitor but along the line, the property the seller wanted to buy was withdrawn. We had to tell our solicitor to pause the process. The seller started looking again and found a propertyy in about three weeks. Local authority search took about six weeks. kwakudtraveller: 2 Likes |

This thread has been of immense help to me. I want to appreciate the contributions of all 'elders' lexus, semmyk, Ticha etc. We got our keys on Friday 30th August and moved into our house on the 31st. We maxed out our LISA contributions and deposit was 14k. 15 Likes |

Hello all, We are in the process of getting a house. Please I need help with this statement from coal search report: "The search revels that although reserves of coal exist in the local area which could be worked at some time in the future, there are no mines or associated operations affecting the property" Is this a cause for concern although the coal search returned with a 'Pass' |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Goodenoch: 12:02pm On Sep 10 |
Jenny022: Wouldn't be a cause for concern for me. The last coal mine approved in the UK was in 2022 after 30 years since the last one, and till now the approval is still dragging in court, and the new government is not defending the approval by the last one. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp68949n013o.amp The odds are very low of any new mine being opened in the UK but even if one is to be opened near to you, it will, by law, be distant enough not to impact health, and it will even drive property prices in nearby areas up as the new workers and businesses to serve them move in. 2 Likes |

Good evening everyone I have read lot of success stories regarding LISA account. Can the LISA account be opened through an APP called money box? Or rather can someone please advise how to go about it? I am saving towards buying my first home in the UK. Thank you @everyone |
