@fatima04

A while back,we wanted to try the Butlins but a Caucasian colleague talked so badly about it and told us to go to Center Parcs instead.

We went to the Woburn Forest and it was amazing.
Accommodation was great and everything else was good.

Kayaking,jet ski for kids,pedaloo ,they also had lovely pools ,subtropical water paradise,spa,zip lining,pottery etc

They also have a Safari in the village.


Is Butlins same kind of experience? Would you recommend? Bognor Regis isn't even that far from me.

Check out center parcs,it's lovely.

Hmmm, hard to say oo cos u have never been,but with all you have listed butlins is probably a lower/mini version of that.

Bognor regis, do have zip lining, different rides (some are scary), archery, shooting, high ropes climbing, go karting, splash pool with different sizes, some 5d games and all those indoor activities as well. On some days they have organised soccer balls and also late night shows some of which I enjoyed except for Ed sheeran impersonator .

I also believe their standard just improved the past couple of years because some colleagues told me it was not so nice when they were growing up.

Try and get another apartment if possible..coming to a Cold house that has bad insulation and refuse to heat up isn't a good thing in winter and you will spend a lot on heating. In a D house we used an average of £120pcm for Gas and electricity and we are just 3 intact 2 and half

Thank you my dear. Leave this Oga Lexus..... I just wanted estimates.

Make I continue my house hunting.

My people, I am about to rent a 2 bedroom flat. The heating is electrical and here is the EPC rating. Can anyone tell me roughly what to expect as monthly bills especially as winter is almost here

The rating on this property is not that bad o depending on what heats up the property (gas, oil or electric). They get expensive in that's order from my tiny experience.

If it's not well insulated or double glazed, that's where the problem comes from. The testings are carried out every 10 years (according to these house agents). So basically, property must have been improved or otherwise over the years.

My little way of checking when I go viewing property is,

I schedule in the morning (first appointment) when weather is still cold. The colder the better.

If house is empty, I lock the windows and switch on the heating and observe how long it takes to heat up. Whilst checking out other things in the house ofcourse.

If it's occupied and tenant is still there, I find a way to leave my number with them without the agent or landlord knowing. This way, you'll get every info you need on the property, good and bad.

To be sincere, some won't ring you, but there's no harm in trying.

Good day my Ogas, I don come again.

Kindly advise as regards this question on the Visa application.

"Do you have an address for where you are going to stay in the UK?

YES/NO"

Will selecting "No" have a significant impact on the visa outcome.

Thanks

What visa category are you applying for?
The short answer to your question is:
Answer TRUTHFULLY

Lolipopp:
Yes, it is possible to apply at the same time. Good enough you have an A rated sponsor so that makes things easier. Now let me answer as someone who got a Tier 2 and applied for dependants after getting here.

1. If you choose to apply at the same time you may find it difficult getting an accomodation from overseas here in the UK ( you may speak with your employer if they will be willing to help) as you will have to pay both rent and sometimes some deposit or even get a guarantor to be able to rent. All of these is usually stressful for a new migrant hence the reason a lot of tier 2 holders prefer to come in first and then bring in dependants later.
2. The better news is, yes CoS is valid only for 3 months but it doesn't stop you from bringing in your dependants after it has expired. Your A rated sponsor only needs to supply you a maintenance letter stating the following details according to home office
- printed on official letter head
- Full name, CoS number, Passport number of principal applicant
- Full name, Passport Number, Date of birth of each dependant
The letter must also state that your employer is happy to provide up to £630 for initial one month of your dependant (s) coming into the UK likewise a cover for their accomodation.
Note, with this letter in hand you don't need further proof of funds. (Countless number of people have done this seamlessly)
3. In the event your employer isn't happy to provide you with this letter only then will you have to show proof of funds to the tune of £930 per dependant

If you require further clarity just check out PBS dependant policy on home office website.
I hope this helps.

please how will one apply tier 2 CoS. How to get sponsor fast?

To me that question is not required for a Tier 2 sponsorship especially when its for like 3 yrs. You can ask your sponsor on what to fill. During our own application, the sponsor instructed us to use the office address for the whole duration of the sponsorship. I guess its just a formality.

Whatever you do carry your sponsor along especially through email correspondence not just calls or whatsapp chats

Do you have a job offer?

dustydee:

Do you have a job offer?

No, please , thanks for your response
I was asking how I could get a job offer ?
and the medical surcharge , does one have to pay for the 3years at £400 per applicants and dependent . That's 1200£ per applicants?

This thread has been derailed and is not serving its initial purpose.

Aunty Rubyventures abeg no vex.
First you get a job then your employer will issue you a CoS. You pay the surcharge per applicant per multiplied by the number of years of the visa. Depending on your field, there are many places to apply for jobs including the popular job boards.

Yes if your certificate has been assessed as being equivalents to Bachelor degree, masters or PHD
and taught in English

Good day my great people.

Thanks for all your responses, opinions and feedbacks so far.

Please, based on your experience, what are the pros and cons of renting either a furnished or an unfurnished apartment?

Secondly, what is the minimum EPC rating to look out for when renting an apartment?

Thanks in advance
