Good day all
Abeg no vex for my question but I try to do research before I come here and ask

Trying to get NIN for my 5 year old for passport renewal. Still waiting for their Aberdeen office to call us to come do it.
Can I go ahead with the online application and pay without the NIN?
But wait for the NIN before going to London for biometrics

tshoboy:

Update on this. I emailed support@innovate1services.com and they sent this link https://appointments.immigration.gov.ng/. I now have a date on Feb 14th. You might want to try this link if you have paid and waiting to be contacted. You might have to email them directly if the link doesn’t work for you.

Hi everyone! I don’t know if this has been discussed earlier here, because it’s been a while I came in here. I have a very big issue with mold in my house. Been cleaning and cleaning but it keeps coming back darker, bigger and scarier. I had to complain to the leasing agent and the landlord’s contact was sent to me. He handles all the repairs in his !

Yes fill the form, pay and print out the form and payment receipt then buy the postal order, £120 in total + £12 vat

You can’t, you have to wait until they email you an appointment date but that can take months.

If you have the money go for fast track, you don’t need appointment for that.

dustydee:

Please where can I do it?

Unfortunately everything you’ve said is 100% true. Your child’s form will ask for a parents NIN. They weren’t doing it in the UK last year. I guess 2022 is for ‘change’. Pele dear. The quicker you start the process the better.

Olinga:
Thank you. So does it mean as far as I do not withdraw my money (other than to buy a house) I won't pay back the 25%?

Hello,

I just want to appreciate everyone here. You guys are doing a great job. I have learnt so much here from discussions on building credit score to buying a house. I moved to my own house in October after 10 months of 'crazy'. Buying a house in the UK is not for the faint hearted. We started looking at houses last year and left to pick it up again in January and it was a case of you put in an offer and some else offers 10k above the asking price. It was a sellers market not sure if it has changed now. Someone here mentioned the Facebook group (First time Buyers) - its really good. Thank you.


I digress, this is an appreciation post. Thank you all.

@tushqueen...

... Made an attempt to claim maternity allowance...? And what happened after the attempt.

SMA not public funds but however, it appears from my understanding that MA might in some ways be claiming from public funds. You are only entitled to Maternity allowance if not on SMA and whatever you get affects your other benefits. In essence, it is linked to the whole benefit system and entitlement.

Moreover, you have to have made a certain amount of NI contributions to get most benefits including this MA.

Good morning Dear Men and Brethren especially the Ancients on the thread:

Advice me please. Thank you.

Like i said this argument shouldn’t stay as this might set an unprecedented scenario whereby we might all be asked to forfeit our British passport one day just because our ancestors are not from here and move back to our country of origin.

[Strictly my opinion]

Masters in Public Health (MPH) on its own without a fantastic experience in the field of public health is as useful as the letter ‘P’ in Psychology or Pneumonia. As vital as the letter ‘W’ in Greenwich or Norwich.

First thing is, look through UK job sites. Including civil service jobs. Peruse their requirements. Hardly will you see a job advert that requires the applicant to hold an MPH.

In my opinion [again, strictly my opinion], a good 1st degree, with RELEVANT experience is more vital than an MPH with little or no experience.

If I may ask, in what field was your niece’s 1st degree?

Hello guys, pls i need you all to look at this.

I am an embryologist, and i just got a job with a Hospital in Manchester (CF) after doing series of interview.

the starting salary is 25k annually which i consider small for me.

@justwise and everybody else.

thank you.

I did Experian free trial and my record is clean. However, they miraculously deducted 52 points saying that I'm not on the electoral roll, which because I reconfirmed for the electoral office.

I would check on the estate agents website as advised.

Could you please give names of this groups. "Property buying uk". Isn't bringing valuable results.

Thanks for your input.

Braket:
Senior home owners, how did you lowball(made a bid).

I have read almost all articles online. The advice is 10 to 15%.

However, checking Zoopla for houses that have been sold, there's an average of just 5k off the listing.

Is there any tip about making a good and acceptable. tip from your personal experiences?

Can you lowball a listing that says "prices over..." Or guide price "30-50". Even though it has been on the market for almost 6 months.

Tray2, RalphLauren, justwise, Lexusgs430... plus everyone that has an advice.

Btw, credit score is taking shape and working on getting my records from TransUnion and Equifax.
Thanks to everyone that gave their input.

Hi, just reach out to the regional office. You would have to pay your deposit and write a letter requesting for a discount

Samiattt:
I got a 2k discount. Call the regional office to put you through. Once you’ve passed the credibility interview and submitted your bank statement you’ll get your CAs after 7 days

It's a combo mortgage and loan application, usually from the same lender....... The beauty of a broker........

Lexusgs430:



Options available to you...........


Broker to patch shortfalls (that 1% fee is worth it's weight in gold).......

Get a bank loan......... (don't over stretch)

Joint mortgage + joint source of funds.....

There are even non-fee charging brokers now. One of my best decisions was to go with a mortgage broker.

Do asusu with a sizeable drop........ Etc etc etc

RalphJean:



Thank you very much.

Any tips on ‘friendly’ banks?
I currently bank with Barclays (old school bank)
And with Starling (JJC/novice/smallBoys bank- according to someone I know).

Please any idea of a bank that is friendly? Please

RalphJean:



That means with £2,500 I already have 10% payment for mortgage?

Please bro, could you kindly help me with a link to one of those properties?
Or better still, tell me the specific part of the NorthWest, I could check for myself. Lemme too become house owner abeg.

2 bed flat for 25,000 ! That’s less than 17 months rent in my 2-bedroom East London flat.
