missjekyll: With regards your last question, when you see a property that enters your eye's + your offer accepted........ You would have to visit the property at different times of the day/week, to judge........... Any room in the house, can easily be converted to a study........ How big do you want your garden ......... 😜😁 Fully paved, grass and trees (would you also want squirrels visiting..........😜😁 1 Like |

Yhello4u: If you have a good reason, you can just request for consent to let if you don't wanna sell. Some lenders allow you remain on a residential mortgage even after remortgaging 2 Likes |

Pearlyfaze: I just saw my Solicitor's final charge and it's over £3k if you add Land Registry of £330 and Engrossment Fee of £192. Those who have completed recently, na like this e dey be? Although, I fear it's too late to negotiate sha. I have already signed everything and we are completing this week. Good lesson to use calculator and go through the fine lines next time. 4 Likes

Finally Completed, Keys in my hands. Found the property in September and reserved. Completed in December. Barclays 2 year fixed at 5.53%, 12% deposit and 2-year residence in UK. God has been very kind. Thanks to all for the beautiful contributions here and especially to Lexus and Ticha for reminding us this is doable and should be done. Will share my lessons learnt ASAP. 27 Likes |

Hi everyone, Our completion is next week (20th) and I've been overthinking things. LISA has been withdrawn by solicitor and we've paid all fees. Please what should I expect to happen between now and Wednesday when we complete. Are they still going to ask for payslips, bank statements etc, is the lender still going to ask for documents from us before releasing the fund...Just worried of something happening between now and next week and need to be prepared. This may be needless overthinking but just felt to ask cc: Solumtoya, as you just completed and it's still fresh in mind. A big congratulations to you and I look forward to putting up my completion post next week. |

Estroller: What a journey so far. lender rejected an extension, saying product has already been pulled off the market. I called conveyancer after getting new offer at 5.38%. many unprintable words after, i couldnt log into the legal process portal. The evil lady deleted my case after wasting 7 month of my life and costing an extra 98 pounds monthly in the new offer Estate Agent reached out, told her i no do again. |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Solumtoya: 9:48pm On Dec 17, 2023 |
Stevepop: Absolutely! I know the feeling, I was similarly worried, but 99.9% of the time, just sit and wait and it will be all fine. My Lender did nothing. In fact, I need to even sort out my building insurance as at no point was I told to do it. |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Estroller: 11:20pm On Dec 17, 2023 |
ProfJYK: Sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you've had, the roller coaster of emotions involved in the process no be here true true. Our offer was extended for us for another 3 months when it became clear that we weren't going to complete before the initial offer ran out, reason why I suggested it. I guess we were lucky to get the extension and at the same rate as the initial offer. Keep your head up, it is perfectly ok to take a step back and revaluate before giving it a go again. All the best. 1 Like |

Please, how can I open Lifetime ISA account with Barclay Bank?. Do i have to visit the bank physically or can I open the account with my bank app? And does it have deadlines that one is supposed to meet up with the £4000 to be eligible for the £1000 bonus? |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Estroller: 8:33am On Dec 18, 2023 |
Ogonsbaba: Have you confirmed that Barclays does offer the product? As long as the £4000 is in your account by 5th April of the following year, it doesn't matter how, lump sum or drip fed, you will get the full £1k bonus. 1 Like |

I've seen information on this thread that the Lifetime ISA can only be used for retirement or towards buying a house. Quick question: How does the government monitor this and makes sure that the money's not used for personal purposes? |

Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Estroller: 11:06am On Dec 18, 2023 |
Raalsalghul: For house purchase, you don't get to withdraw the money personally, it goes to your conveyancer who adds it together with your deposit for onward transfer to the seller or developer. Retirement, I guess proof of retirement/attaining state pension age or something in that regard. It can also be withdrawn if the account holder is terminally ill, this should be easy to prove. |

Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Ogonsbaba: 1:51pm On Dec 18, 2023 |
Estroller: I haven't confirmed if Barclays bank offer the product. But please, how can I open a Lifetime ISA account? I bank with Lloyd's and Barclays bank. I'm not seeing anything related to Lifetime ISA in my bank apps. Thanks! |
