In a nutshell

The irony is that Alexander was born in the US (he gave up his US citizenship in 2016 due to US tax obligations - you know the IRS doesnt play) while RS was British born in the UK.

But guess which one they regard as "forrin" lol

I pray that Rushi is able to reverse the damage that Lizz Truss has done to the economy. Cos investors have lost millions under Lizz.
Bless her though, poor woman…. she’s going to need a lot of support for those 44 days of hell. They gave her a tough time. She was out of her depth. Poor soul.

Insider leaks 'shady' tricks estate agents use to change prices and sell houses
The ex-estate agent has also listed his top three tips for potential buyers and sellers

"We kept a book of all the properties on the market and as soon as they hit 12 weeks we would knock on the door."
A former estate agent has revealed some of the dark arts he used to get business - including filling viewings with family members to drive down the price. The insider, who worked in Hampshire and has since left the industry, said the property market is a cut-throat world - and people will do anything to get ahead.

The man, who asked not to be named, claims estate agents regularly try and nick each others' clients. And he said he would often value properties at a higher price to get business - before using relatives to send it crashing down.

The worker, who is now in the oil and gas industry, said: "I just wanted to keep my job so I went with it. It was just a job but I did know it was a bit shady. "It was all the praise and rewards and gift cards you were getting for getting these things done.

“Estate agents aren't your mates so keep your cards close to your chest – if you can go further don’t say that you can.”
The estate agent started in the industry after applying for a role with an agency. And, on finding properties to sell, he said: "Most contracts for estate agents are between 10 and 12 weeks.
"We kept a book of all the properties on the market and as soon as they hit 12 weeks we would knock on the door. We would find fault with the estate agent's pictures or ask the homeowner if they were happy with their current agent.
“We would take a contract with us in case we could poach them. Instead of finding business ourselves, we were getting business from people who were already ready to sell.”

He continued: "We also made up viewings".

"A leaflet and business card would drop through someone’s door saying ‘Mr. K is interested in your property, please contact us’ but this was a made up person. Then we had their number and email address on the system."

The agent also said that, if a property had been launched and had no viewings, a family member would sometimes be sent round to view the property. As well as making the agent look like he had filled viewing slots, the relative would also value the house at £10,000 less.

By doing this, the ex-agent had got the homeowner's business with a high valuation - before getting someone else to break the news that the property was worth less than they thought. He said: “If we launched a property on Rightmove and it got no viewings, we would send a family member to view the property and then say they thought the house was worth £10,000 less than it actually was.
“So we were poaching clients, getting the house up on the market – and then telling the client they were selling it for too much. Also, if you’re booking viewings and know the school run is at 3pm and it’s ridiculously busy, we would say the client can only do viewings outside of that time.

“If the parking was bad at 5pm, you try and get all your viewings done in the day.”

And when it comes to valuation, the former agent said: “When we’re booking in a market appraisal, we ask what other competition is going to be there. If we can get our valuer in first, we can try and blow them out the water to get them to sign a contract with us first.

“If that doesn’t work, we book our person in last and get them to try and force the homeowner into signing a contract.”

As well as revealing the secrets of the trade, the anonymous insider has also revealed his top three tips for potential buyers and sellers.

1. What to ask
He said: “Visit the property at different times like weekends and after 5pm.
“Find out if the loft is boarded or part-boarded and ask who owns the boundaries.
“How old is the boiler? When was it last serviced? What is the sellers position – are they in a rush to sell?”

2. Leaseholds
He said: “Be careful buying leasehold properties especially those that are cheaper as they normally have a small year's lease on them.
“If this gets too low, you will find it difficult to get a mortgage on and the fees can be quite large to renew the lease.”

3. Costs
He said: “Always work out your costs and ask if there is any maintenance, ground rent or service charges.
“A lot of new builds have unadopted roads and it’s up to the residents to pay for repairs.
“If the agent doesn’t know this information and the owner hasn’t told them then you won’t find this out until you have already started paying for solicitors.”

Good evening ancestors. Thank God that the gbas gbos of student this and that are over.

I want to know something about the tier 2 visa,

If the main applicant (Health and Social care), becomes a dependant to the former dependant (IT sector) of the same tier 2 visa, Will it affect their time for ILR?.

Will their time reset to year 1. OR they can continue counting from the H&SC visa.

I hope i made sense.
Thank you my people, my people.

It is subsidised for the immigrant.

I appreciate your point that not all immigrants use the NHS, in which case the IHS will likely feel like a huge cost. However, should you ever need treatment then the ihs fee is much cheaper than paying out of pocket which can easily run into thousands depending on the procedure

Goke7:
those ones don't put a strain on housing o cos they walk and live on water

With all due respect, the IHS is peanuts compared to the actual cost of treatment (if you ever need treatment), especially for anything serious such as childbirth, an operation - some scans even cost more than the ihs. The ihs is heavily subsidised and does not reflect the actual cost to the NHS

I see where Gemma is coming from in some ways.

The majority of Nigerian immigrants might be hardworking and resourceful, however Nigeria does have a bad reputation for a reason because there is a fair number of people who look for ways to fleece the system, thereby making it a lot harder for genuine people.

All the POF scams for example. Applicants using chicanery to show that they have the required funds even though they know that they lack sufficient means to sustain them and their dependents.

There have been numerous posts where people have to be "convinced" that they do not qualify for 30hrs nursery funding or other grants/benefits as they count as public funds. To British citizens/residents who pay taxes and do not even claim these benefits, it can be very annoying to hear or see immigrants who have not yet contributed to the system (and students who do not pay tax) trying to claim these benefits. It can also make them wonder what benefits these people would go on to claim as soon as they have obtained citizenship. This is what easily stokes resentment in Brits - feeling like they're being taken for a mug

Also, the complaints. No country is perfect. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it can be quite grating hearing migrants complaining about the NHS and other aspects of British life. The obvious response would be "why don't you go back then, if it's so wonderful where you're from!"

Na now you talk the real koko .

That why I said over 90% of people wanting to get student visa , don’t have genuine intentions of really wanting to school.

But in a way , it helps the UK schools and economy somehow ,because if you take away the high amount of money International students pay as tuitions , Many UK schools will go bankrupt ! Fact !!

Because their own citizens care less about schooling for a masters certificate … lol
