Yes, we got mechanics from ClickMechanic to go physically inspect the cars. You'll need to provide details and location of the car and they'll go inspect, then send pictures and report with recommendation. Average fee was £120. It's pretty similar to the inspection service in Naija.

Honestly, there isn't a rule of thumb for negotiating in free markets. Just know what you can afford and the value of the goods. Once you buy it, no point regretting. For a 3k car, I'll start at 2k with the aim to have a deal 2.5k at most. But it depends on the value and state of the car.

We used a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner for electrical/engine checks. Check suspensions, bodywork, hoods and all. Then test drive. Make sure the gears are changing well, et al.

All the best.

Thanks for your detailed explanation,

Did you invite Clickmechanic to physically inspect the car or what, could you provide more info?

In regards to negotiations, from how much to how much did you negotiate, because it really affected me last year when I bought a car, I later noticed that I paid over 500£ for the car value, could you give me an example say the listing price is like 3000£, like how much do you think I can start my negotiation, I don’t actually have much experience negotiating with White as I always believe the listing price is the last.

How did you go about the mechanical and electrical test, is it just a physical check or inspection from test drive only.

Could you list things to check for other than normal checks like MOT history?

I wasn’t really happy that I cant use my former car anymore as a result of accident. I spent a lot to get the car into a very good condition after spending 1.5k£ to fix all necessary things. It was when I’m about to start enjoying the car that this unfortunate accident happen.

Can’t imagine buying another car and start seeing issues with the car.

Anyone travelled from Uk to Republic of ireland? What's the visa processing like?

Thank you so much.

You can open a joint account, you both pay your share into the account and pay your bills from the joint account.

Hi everyone.
I have a few questions please.

How do we pay house rent as a couple in order for it to reflect on our credit score? Do we split it in half and pay our halves to the agent individually or one person makes the total transfer?

How do we make it reflect on a rental exchange partner like Canopy or Credit Ladder?

Also on Council Tax, We both have a total of 174 to pay how do we pay it? One person transfers or we split it and each of us make the payment to the council account individually?

Please help me out on these questions. Thank you

Open a joint account. It'll help improve your score ONLY if you use experian booster or rent reporting agencies.

Simply put your rent & bills, in both names ......

Then register with relevant credit building agencies.......

What if wife is a student (MA) and husband dependent, don't you think they would lose the council tax exemption if they pay jointly? Thoughts?

Is it possible for me to Use my Nigerian bank statement and company documents to complete the entire visa application Because if I use a UK bank statement, it means that I need to submit a payslip, which I haven't been on any employer's payroll.

All these long months with no shifts are you sure it won't affect ILR later. Keep worrying your employer about this topic.

You can only apply when your uni sends a mail informing you that they have notified the home office of your course completion

Okay noted. Thank you very much.

@Lagosismyhome raised a very valid point to highlight that not working for your sponsor (for whatever reason) will cause major issues down the line. You can't just hustle anyhow/where if it contravenes the conditions of your work visa.

Besides the pp was asking about how to process a visit visa to Canada for they and their family....so hardly in survival mode

I still am. What's up?

Alright, thanks alot.
To the people already on Post Study Visa, did you do more than 20 working hours while studying or not? If so, how many did you do through your study time? alot in my set are doing more than 20hrs work per week at present and i hope it wont affect them. i cant blame them because most of them had to fend for themselves

Don't do more than 20hrs if you don't want trouble. They are breaking the law and it can affect them down the line

I just have a feeling they'll start to take it personal from Jan in order to reduce the student population applying for psw

I might be wrong though

Yea you can but Nottingham to Lincoln is almost 2 hrs by train. Accommodation tight everywhere including Notts ọ.

Why would you ask this question?
