You renamed it desperation form, when they asked for an offer they are probably expecting lower than the asking price but you went higher and they thanked their lucky stars.

Any reasonable person currently looking for accommodation in the UK at the moment would obviously understand the urgency, a lot of people have posted issues about getting accomodation. UK currently has a surge in obtaining accomodation and you are here telling people about conditions that exist 10 years ago.

A student lands in the UK and spends two months in an Air BnB looking for suitable accomodation, meanwhile spending cash paying for alternate accomodation, but you are here saying people should offer lower than the advertised price, you think I want to pay more, like are you joking or something .
If accomodation was easy then why are people complaining about it.

Jack of all trades and master of none, no human has knowlegede on everything, we learn everyday and people grow by accepting their deficiencies. I have posted an agency page asking for offers and you are still here arguing about what I dont know.

The only reason I posted it is to help people with large families obtain accomodation faster, imagine a family of five paying for hotel accomodation for two months, imagine what they can do with that money instead.I met a family in Newcastle , they have been staying at an Airbnb for 5 weeks, the man was depressed. No one expects you justwise to have knowledge on everything, and when you encounter issues that you have less knowledge about, then try and learn from it, and not just start arguing blindly because you dont want to feel limited . A lot of people here are looking up to you for guidance , ego tripping is not helpful to anyone.

There is a current accomodation crisis in the UK and getting accomodation is hard at the moment, if you dont know then ask. People are struggling to get accomodation, people are bidding to get accomodation, do you think I have money to throw away by making an offer? I really dont undertand what you going on about.

The whole point of this place is to get direction on how to navigate current issues that effects schooling in the Uk,I know at least 4 people that made the same move as I did, and they are setteled now, after spending weeks in hotels looking for accomodation.

The United Kingdom opened up PSW and they have more applications this year than they ever had, there is three times more applications than they had last year, three times more people looking for accomodation, and obviously it has affected the real estate industry. Oga ,its not rocket science. sometimes I struggle to understand you.

You still don't get it, nobody gives landlord or letting agent more than asking price of a house, you are desperate and decided to offer them more money and they gladly accepted.


The name of the form is make an offer form and not desperation form .

Hello house. Please this is very urgent, I am at the verge of paying for my visa fee… but I can only see the option of standard no priority

You will get that option of standard/Priority after you make payment on this current portal and get transferred to the TLS portal.

Its not true that renting is open for bidding, you paid more because you want to but not because its the standard. Who wouldn't want to get more money if offered?

Ordinarily Letting agents are willing to milk you dry let a lone when you offered them free money

I am guessing you dont understand how making an offer works when trying to rent a place. I have attached a screen shot below , the agency name is https://secure.rentmyhome.co.uk/offers/5403 ,when you see a property you are interested in, you make an offer through them directly to the landlord and wait for a response. In this case the let was £875 and we made an offer of £950 and then you wait for a response.Several other people would also make offers at same time.

Thats exactly what I said, hope you get it now.

Thank you. This should be referenced especially for those going with dependents.

For right-to-rent I had to provide my CAS since my school will only start releasing BRP cards next Monday. Some agents accept it.

Additionally, we offered 6 months rent as advised in another forum, but when the contact came, it stated 1 month/monthly payments. Guessing this is in line with your 3rd point.


Exactly, they seem to prefer a higher bid than bulk payment. In fact a particular agency put it up for bid on their website. You make an offer directly to the landlord through a bidding portal on their site.

This is not true, if the house is advertised for 500 or 1000 that is exactly what you should pay, you don't offer to pay higher amount, you can offer to pay more than one mouth rent deposit in advance just to secure the place.

If you want to get a house quicker as a student look for houses a bit away from your school, 15-20mins distance, houses closer to universities are in hot demand now but by Feb up the demand drops.

Alternatively..rent school accommodation for only one semester then move out after that for a private accommodation which is cheaper.

If you are renting through an agent you will be asked to pay additional fees for their services, for paper work and even renewing that tenancy agreement.


I just gave hint on how to secure accomodation faster than the desired, i wasn't assuming or guessing. Most of what I have listed here is exactly how I got my accommodation for a family of 5 in Newcastle. I offered additional £70 to what was advertised and we got it almost immediately after two moths search,by the way we had been offering to pay 6moths upfront and could not get any.

So when you say this is not true, that is not accurate .

Good evening guys,

please how can one rent a place for family of 3 in either doncaster and surrounding areas. its tiring as i have called various agents all to no avail

kind help. we leave soon

Some tips on how to secure accomodation.

1.You need a UK phone number when registering on sites like zoopla,onthemarket etc. You can register with your Nigerian number though, but they wont take your request too seriously. They would usually call to follow up an application and once its an International number ,your chances of them calling you is very slim

2. Most of them would request you to view the property, a viewing request means you have to be in the Uk or have someone that can view on your behalf.Viewing also shows serious intent .

3. When they advertise a property for rent and place a £500 rent on it, just an example. When communicating with the agent, make an additional offer of like £550 instead, you are more likely to get a response from the agency. They dont tell you but most rentals are up for bids, and they like a higher bid because the agent gets more.

4. Download your right to rent status, and attach it to your application. It would eliminate any ambiguity the agency might have about your immigration status . You can get your right to rent status from this link attached here

https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent

5.It would help a great deal if you have a current job, sounds like impossible because you are a student but it Is what it is. During the pandemic, the government mandated that waivers should be extended to people who cant pay rent hence a lot of landlords were short changed. Most landlords now basically want to rent property to only people with jobs, who can pay the rent

There is a current surge in rental properties at the moment, and its a contest getting accomodation. Once a property goes up for rental, they get multiple applications and the agencies are mostly interested in tenants who can pay rent, and your student status is apparently a disadvantage.

The link below can also help in understanding some pointers

Finally keep trying, something would eventually turn up

Lol there’s no such place to scroll (see attached), not sure why anyone would say that if they did their application on their own.

Usually a drop box opens up when you click yes, if you click No then no drop box option. The examples given of relatives are exactly what they are, examples .The options are not limited to the examples and if you click yes and start typing sister as an option then you should see an auto fill option of your answer.

Congratulations!
I think applying with dependent at the same time is a major risk factor to getting the non straight forward email and i think the email simply means “sorry we can’t review your applications right now because it’s connected to another person (dependent) I.e not straight forward and right now we have a lot on our hands,we’ll surely review your applications later though might be outside the normal time frame.”
I strongly advise that the main applicant and dependent apply at different times to avoid high BP. Dependent can apply after the main applicant is given visa.

I m afraid this is inaccurate information, your thoughts are not correct and applying together according to stats is still more favorable.

Guy please I don’t understand. My dependants were denied visa. We still have 13,600,000 naira in the account.mind you, I paid my tuition. Please has anyone gotten anything positive from administrative review or do I just reapply?

I think you should initiate an AR, since its dependant application and no issue with missing classes because of delayed outcome. Looks like an obvious error and a resolution can be reached after review. From past reviews, when the error is clear and obvious, you might be able to get a response in good time.

Please has anyone travelled with children below age 10 and didn’t do pre departure covid test for them ? I’d appreciate a response , it’s urgent for me . Thank you

This issue is a bit straight forward when following the UK government guidelines but the issue of ambiguity arises because of misinterpretation from boarder control both in Nigeria and in the UK.

The British government mandates children between 5 and 17 not resident in UK should take a pre departure test as well as day 2 and 8 test. ,while children ages between 5-10 who are resident in the UK dont need a predeparture test . It looks straight forward but when I traveled I asked a lot of questions on both sides Nigeria/UK and some are aware of the rules while some aint aware at all. Some would tell you your kids need it while some would say they dont. The confusion stems from the residency , because the rules are different for children resident in Uk and Children not resident in UK.

Your best bet is to follow the government guidelines,you never know which set of border control you would face.According to the guidelines, your kids need a predeparture test.

Please house I need your advise, my husband applied for visa on Wednesday 8th September, he quoted there that we will be traveling together I tried applying on Friday night 10th September while trying to pay IHS and other fee, it's asking for my husband visa expiry date. So we couldn't proceed. Could it be that his visa has been issued cos he did priority.

Its the generic procedure for filling the IHS form, you would need to fill in your husband's course end date . its not because the visa has been issued

An TLS staff mentioned student visa applications (at least from VI) are being accessed by Pretoria. When I received my BRP (British resident permit) collection letter it was signed by Pretoria.

In essence Pretoria is making all the decisions.

Commissions in Nigeria affix the vignette and print the letters. (This last bit is my assumption. Easier to rationalize for super-priority)


DMC for Nigeria's three renters in VI,iKEJA and ABUJA have usually been in Sheffield,croydon and Liverpool depending on the type of visa you are applying for. I think the volume of applications this period and also covid has pushed quite a number to Pretoria.

I wont say any further dear, am telling you from experience, my interview lasted for 1hr23mins and 30% of the interview was on that case.

1. how long will it take me from there to get to school.
2. Dont i think that 50 mins is such a long time.
3. If she was not there would you still want to come to the UK.
4. Will she be dropping me off everyday to catch a bus.

The interview will flow to other questions and boom he will return to it and ask how long have you known her.

Please avoid it, just book an AirBnB. Its not worth the STRESS.

Also make sure you have not quoted them, even if you do, just say you will not stay with them as you want to focus on your studies and be close to the school accomodation. Truth is that i wanted to just say no, but my sister said i should put it. I regret doing it anyway. And dont get me wrong, i got all the questions correctly except where she works and how much she earns. I simply told him i dont know and i dont want to give him wrong answers.


Your Sister is a wise woman, this is exactly where immigration history profile gets its roots from. Once the lie starts, it never ends until you run into trouble. No hard and fast rule, some would get away with it, while most might not.For any application you make with ukvi ,that question will keep popping up and one day you would be inconsistent because you lied, if you lied about it initially.

I am afraid I dont have an answer to your question, UKVI can ask for whatever document they think would help their decision and every single application is not the same because the ECO's are not the same. To avoid any situation that would raise your blood pressure, just follow the laid down rules

In this case of the husband’s account, please could it be the one the husband used in applying for himself alone or the wife resubmitted both the husband’s account and her own and they are asking her to reprint both since she submitted it or she submitted hers alone and they are asking her to print her husband’s own too since the husband applied earlier?
I just want to know if it’s possible that the wife or husband has transferred the money to the wife’s or husband’s account can they ask the husband or wife who has gotten visa to go and reprint the statement he or she submitted during application even if it’s not submitted during the dependants applications?

I am not sure I follow your deductions. Let me put it in another simpler context, all figures used are examples below and not accurate.

Lets assume the family of four needs 19million to apply together, so if they submitted their application together they would need proof of funds of N19million. But they dont have 19 million to apply together , they only have N15million,which is enough for 3 people.
So the wife applies first and gets her visa, then the other dependants applied after the wife with the same funds the wife used , duplication of funds.

So now, UKVI wants to know if all the funds are available and POF wasn't duplicated.
