This is fairness...... isn't it ......😂

Marriage is a business partnership, of two people coming together, to build & strengthen their values .....

One person sees a snake, the other kills it...... It's not about contributors value, but collectiveness......😂😜

Its, i don't believe that the woman should be left empty handed when marriage ends. There has to be fairness.

Finally got a permanent solution to mold in my house.

Bought a Meaco Arete Dehumidifier 20l and the rest is story.

Reason for choosing this is because it does not only dehumidify but also purify the air and very low electricity consumption.

Yeah, dry clothes as well.

If you’ve got mold issue try get this product aswell.


Can this cover a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom, 3 stores and a sitting room ? My apartment is quite big and i got a small dehumidifier (1700ml) that only does little. I don clean tire

Interestingly enough , this not wanting to be a bad person maybe why some ppl just don't pick up their calls when new immigrants arrive. They just ghost

I think both the rejecter and rejecter need therapy in giving nos and receiving nos.

Emotional blackmail is real.

On a side note...sometimes it's the yes ppl you should be afraid of cos they may sell you 4000pounds pot. grin grin

It's distasteful and callowness if one taunts & jests a real-life personal or psychological problems someone posted here.

I have the Maeco 12litre low energy dehumidifier (the low platinum range ones) I got last year. To be honest, it’s my best investment last year. The funny thing is you will be surprised at how humid your house is even when you are not seeing any sign or mold.

The magic part is the air purifier that helps our young man sleep smoothly when he has flu. Till date, it’s the best money I spent in the UK.

I always forget to share the good news about the product. Thanks for sharing.

I use my 12L for our 2bed. It’s just moving it around. To be honest, the areas with more moist are mostly bathroom and kitchen surroundings.

Our son’s room and the living room are on same wing separated with a door from the other side. Our room is close to kitchen and bathroom. So we have more moist in our room. Sometimes 1hr to 2hrs dehumidifies the living room and our son’s to below 60. While we run more hours in our room and the corridor connecting bathroom. Our target is a little below 60 (57-59) so that we don’t get the house too dry.

So yes, you can use for your 2bed, just move it around and maybe sort the areas with less moist first then spend the days on the area with more moist in the air.

Very very economical, some days we used dehumidifier instead of the heater early this year.

Makes sense, i tend to move our around also. I'll keep up with this as its efficient this way. Thought i could atleast position it in a spot where it could serve every rooms. But its less effective this way. Thanks for your input.

I experienced this also. I spoke with the developer's broker as recommended, they did their financial assessment (affordability checks) and passed it on to the developer but I told them during the conversation that I already have my broker. Made it clear to the sales advisor as well during reservation that I've got my broker[b]. I went for the developer's solicitor[/b] though (so maybe a win-win), as the solicitors recommended by my broker were either slow in responding to my initial mail or just too expensive. All going good so far and the solicitor has been great.

Be careful with the bolded. It's a conflict of interest if it's the developer's solicitors, most of them just want to make the fees. They might not explain the implications of some of the clauses in the tp1. Might be prudent to get another solicitor to look at the tp1.

Don't get me wrong, I said potentially which means if you or the facilitator can provide proofs to the lenders or banks of the source of funds, then you have nothing to offer.

My post was based on my assumption that the facilitator in the UK might not be the owner of the funds which might place the person under the radar of a potential money mule.

No mind me o, I'm just being careful and try to pass it on to others 😂... All the best bro 🙌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾



triplo3:


I don’t get. Can’t people with legitimate means of livelihood (e.g working in oil & gas) buy property abroad. I know people who have bought properties in SA, Dubai, USA but to name a few. So because of AML murky waters someone that has income/network in Naira can’t diversify their portfolio. Let’s be open-minded please. If you don’t have the answer, no problem. I’m seeking experience people that have gone through the route legitimately. In fact, all I’m asking for is choice location or strategy for the property market in this country. Thanks and God bless

😂 You still mentioned the potentials of AML/CFT checks on the transaction while trying to make it look normal... that's fine though if the source of the funds can be proven.

It would be a money mule situation when the purchaser is based in Nigeria and want to use a UK resident to funnel the funds for the transaction. The resident of course would be investigated for the source of funds which you adduced to.

Anyway... All the best 😂


koonbey:


Lol how is it automatically a money mule situation that someone abroad wants to buy property in the UK?

it's not that unusual. Specialist lenders offer this, although it's usually at the level of HNIs financing high-end properties.

Obviously the lender will run stricter AML/CFT checks but if the money is clean fundamentally the mortgage is still a low risk transaction for the lender given the house is the security.

Houses are cheaper up north but it also depends on what use you intend pitting the house or flats. Do you intend renting it out or for living purposes (self use) ?


triplo3:


Any tips on where to buy? Or go with flats or house? So many developers in Manchester doing luxury flats etc. or looking for a small house somewhere (freehold). Thanks

Stop cleaning, use mould spray to spray the affected areas, works like magic and cost about £1.

Dehumidifier works best in enclosed areas so even if you buy a bigger one, you will have to move it around and close where it's working.

You are getting the whole thing twisted.

Nobody is planning for marriage to fail but if that happens unfortunately you have to deal with the reality of divorce in the west. Probably it will help you deal with issues differently unlike how it goes in Nigeria.

Hi house, Please I need to confirm, do you know the cost of IHS fee for children? The main applicant has spent 5months out of 12months on student visa.
Trying to calculate the IHS fee, I am not sure of the amount is giving. It is way less than what the main applicant paid.
