beyondbasicsng:
@lexusgs430 thank you for your help
My husband has MBA from UK uni but hasnt really worked in that line, he currently runs his own business. I also studied in the UK but never had much to do around London except visit.

We have looked at right move and as you said, they're quite high, not keen on Gumtree as you know some on there are quite dodgy.

Yes, job is in middlesex, We just really want advice on which areas to look at (we have checked watford and they're mostly above £1k. We don't even mind commuting from outside London, but not sure which area is best.

To view areas further North, open Google maps to view areas, and search accordingly.....

Thank you @lexusgs430 will reach out again if I have to.

Yes, this is exactly what we're considering atm. Thank you @tennyalad

Renting properties in the UK generally is an expensive undertaking. Have you explored Luton, Derby and slightly further north?

I am sure your husband would find a job in his line of work or other. All it would take would be the forms filling and Internet searches.

Justwise is an advocate for Gumtree lettings, one's you do your due diligence, you would just be fine......

chairman, do people actually live in Derby and work in London? It's too far now. All the savings will go on transportation.

Indeed..... I stay in Kent and have previously worked in Derby.....

You would be surprised how far people are willing to commute, if the price is right........

Hello guys. Please I want to open a second bank account. I already have one with Barclay's. Would appreciate some tips on where to go and where not to and the reasons.
Thanks.

I understand, but not everyday. When will one enjoy the money? I work away too but travel back weekends and even that id tiring.

But the main factor is, distance is not a challenge.....

I doubt if he will be able to but you never know.

It’s not everyone that can open an account with coutts

My company banks there and a few of our clients do and I also believe that’s the queens bank too. You have to have a minimum amount to bank there. It’s like a private banking . Please feel free to correct me.

Try any of the banks that gives you something for banking with them. I can refer you to Nationwide where we both get £100 for opening an account with them

Don't worry your alert will soon come. Na so my own loss before I find am. I didn't mention how they psid everyone on Wednesday and didn't pay me. I called payroll and it turned out my salsa was paid into another persons account. I got payslip without salary. Afraid catch me, but its all sorted now. So don't worry your own is coming.

If there is anyone living in East London affected by the low water pressure due to the burst pipe in Stratford. Thames water are giving out free packs of water in the gala bingo car park behind Stratford high street station. If you drive and want to avoid the long queues you can go now . They will be there 24/7 until the water problem is solved.

I heard about this, people complaining about no water to shower, there will be a very long queue by now. That's the difference between a developed country and a third world country. The welfare of the citizens is top priority. The water is cut off for a couple of hours and they start distributing free packs of water.

DO it on line, try HSBC.It would be easy since you already have one bank account.

SOme people do and rtn the weekend, or if they are greatly needed, the coy pays part or the whole travel expense.

Defjamb:
Please I want to ask a question here hypothetically.

If one got married in the UK legally (an EU) , filed and got his working permit. Then suddenly, the couple had a misunderstanding, the woman say she no marry again. Asked the lawyers for her documents, reported to home office then home office fixed a certain date to see the man. What are his chances? All these are hypothetically off course.
Thanks

Be careful if there are no kids involved or if you do not have any of your own kids, speak to a lawyer for advice. This cant be over stressed.

I got my first credit card from Vanquis. They started on with 250 credit and its now 4k. Their APR is crazy but they will help you build your credit and increase your credit limit over time.

Vanquis are thieves, once you build ur credit history, apply fru your bank and do balance transfer sharp sharp.
