So sorry, I know the feeling! Accomodation is now kryptonite. I feel there should be a law to limit number of applicants per advert. Should be illegal for landlords to be using would be tenants to catch cruise. It should be basic info...where you work, income level, background check etc. For like maximum 5 ppl. Then you proceed with your candidate. If person falls through, go with backup option. Not dozens of application per house. Just compare with the ease of paying for house you like on the spot in Naija. First come first serve!

I doubt
Gotta do that registry stuff as far as I know
You can check the home office website if there's a way around it

Pls is there any one that know a person or immigration officer working at any international airport that can detect fake visas

giselle237:
it’s possible. U must not be married. Have to submit evidence of the relationship of upto 2 years

Lexusgs430:



Remember the law of demand & supply.........

giselle237:
your desperation will land you in the hands of those who will dupe you clean. Stop jumping here and there. If it is not fake visa you are looking for then it is where you will not submit biometrics at POE. .. or who will show you asylum.
Today’s own is for immigration officer who can detect fake visa. Pls be careful[b][/b]..
you are 2 seconds away from getting into serious trouble… just be careful

leef2022:


What are you saying, person asked if you know any international immigration officer and you think the person isn't careful...?

justwise:


I mean if you were born here and your mum&dadd lived and worked here for 27yrs surely they are citizens or have ILR, that also means that you are eligible for citizenship, so how did you skip all that and come here on spouse visa?

Those families who stayed months before renting their own place probably paid twice as much for airbnb/hotel per month as they would have in rent. So the cost of staying three months for instance could feasibly have been the cost of rent for six months. So paying for a long time upfront can actually be very prudent financially. Afterall they would still pay the rent anyway.

Some universities are advising students not to resume at all this session because their cities have literally run out of accommodation, so it's not a case of 'perseverance', and it's not desperation that is worsening the housing crisis - there's literally not enough housing for the people in the country and those coming in - it's an infrastructure crisis.

Ultimately, the strategy that will work for everyone differs - let's not be too quick to insult people for taking different routes than we had to.

Santa2:


@AlphaUno..You just might be Speaking FROM A position of privileged without know it. Renting a house now is a different ball game than it was same time last year. The current realities on ground is alarming and you honestly dont want to be in any of their shoes right now.

Kikspie:
... . Are they correct? They are now asking for a uk guarantor which we don't have. ... i am really confused as we don't have 6 months upfront to pay again and we have no guarantor.

AlphaUno:
...
Yes, they do rent guarantor and it’s totally legal. Google will be a good guide should you decide to rent one

semmyk:
This is #gold. You've done a noble cause that might assist many coming onboard. Not aware of 'em b4 now.
@Justwise anyway to #pin! [Santa2 post]

I did a bit of digging. Apparently, it's a well known, accepted service offering!
** https://housinghand.co.uk/
www.rentguarantor.com/
PS: these seemly have 'good' ratings. Pls, anyone using rent guarantors service, kindly do robust DYOR, to avoid stories that might touch sore: cos some might spring up to tap into this service!

Other approaches to note:

Gets more interesting. Apparently, some universities offer assist. A {hidden} gem to tap into!!
PS: some uni services might come with bureaucracy, while most piggyback on the rent guarantors above.

Well, apart from the demand-supply, there're other #factors. See one from landlords viewpoint: www.landlordzone.co.uk/news/fraudulent-tenancy-applications-surge-as-criminals-switch-to-illegal-sub-letting/

In 2018 i travelled to Nigeria and a friend visited me, while we were chatting he asked if i have investments in Nigeria i said no and explained t issues i have with investing in Nigeria.

This brother started telling me why its important to invest in Nigeria and not the UK and one of the many reasons he gave was that...one day the white man can decide to strip all foreigners of their citizenship and ask us to leave, no place like home, you are a king and lion bla bla bla

Last year he contacted me asking for info about relocating to the UK as Nigeria situation is unbearable...i remembered to ask him about his comment few years ago but i held my peace.

My point is..no place is heaven but where ever you found yourself make an effort to enjoy it else move...

AlphaUno:


No, I am not speaking from a privileged position. Na who I be kwa?
Anyways, enough said. If you have all the money in this world to pay for your 1 or 2 years’ rent upfront, please do you.
Seems a lot of folks are in this shoe and are mortified to hear someone speak of their concerns in such ways and not pat them on the back

Amarathripple0:

I remember when I first got in here, I attempted to play the race card at a situation which I even shared here. I had to unlearn that nonsense fast else it would have affected my outlook at everything. The OP parked on the road and left a child standing by themself, that should have been enough to understand why the person was speaking to their child. As for that person defending his stance on racism, he should just go back to Nigeria because he’s disturbing this thread.

Hello Guys!

Please, for those that have insured their cars in the UK, please how did you get cheap insurance?
I have tried Marshmallow, Admiralty, elephants, RACs but I do get a high fee. I have reduced my annual mileage, uses international Drivers license. Please, if you know what I need to do, please let me know.
Thanks very much

The guy who checked you out on LinkedIn after a credit application fell through.
I remember too. And you and I ‘fought’. And we reconciled. And I asked if we could stop making war but instead make love. And you accepted my apology. And we became friends. End of story.
