Congratulations 🎊 labiola: Thank you for your response. I notified the seller and he confirmed that it was done three years ago and since then, he has not experienced leakages. We got someone to check it and he said it is okay that it does not mean the tiles will break in the next 5yrs.
We have decided to proceed with the exchanging of contract. We have our keys now.
Glory be to God. |

Congratulations Jamesclooney: Testimony time 
(Ushers please be on standby with the offering basket )
The Lord built (bought) us a house!!!!
Signed, sealed and delivered. The bunch of keys dey our hand now. Very heavy lol.
Jokes apart, just an appreciation post for everyone ‘s contribution on here (as well as Chidera Peters on YouTube). The guidance received from this forum has been invaluable. Visited over 12 developers/site. Didn’t care about the fuel burnt because a house is a big deal and even if I didn’t like some, it helped us know what we liked/didn’t like.
KEY DETAILS House type - Newbuild Developer - Persimmons Lender - Halifax (90% LTV) Incentives - 5% deposit boost plus flooring package Mortgage rate - 4.97% ,5yrs fixed (although rates dropped to 4.87% when it was 2 weeks to completion) LISA bonus - £6k (my wife and I) in the space of 15months, took advantage of the tax windows Mortgage adviser - Threshold Financial Services (got the recommendation from this thread)
Ps - send funds because everywhere don dry. Surviving on tap water till further notice. |

Congratulations 🎊 Santa2: Completed on Friday, I don collect Key. 
The guidance's received from this thread has been immeasurable. Started looking at properties last year April, we werent ready then, was just browsing to see what was available.
Late January we saw this property and decided to take the plunge, reserved in February and have been taking baby steps since as we werent in a hurry to complete, wanted completion to coincide with end of school term. Developers no gree for our pace.lol. We fixed with Barclays for 5 years at 4.55%, 10% deposit and 3/2-year residence in UK. Just before completion we checked if the rate had gone down but naaa, it was up to 4.83 or thereabout.
Its still surreal to me.
Thanks to every one that keeps spurring newbies like us on. I remember the rent money/dead money arguments on the other thread sometime ago. while some would take it as offensive others would see it as motivation. Na so life be. If I start to mention names for here we no go comot today, Lexus, Ticha, Lagosishome, Solumtoya, profemebee, Peerielass, Pearlyfaze, Estroller.. Na God go bless una. To Semmyk wey start this thread, thank for curating all those resources, you are special one, And I hope you doing great. |

tushqueen: Thanks to everyone who has replied so far, one more question please. I didn't have to visit the UKVI centre for my biometrics when I renewed my visa last year and a couple of people I know as well used same app this year and recently as well.
However, for the kids there was no option of using online biometrics app, is this the norm? Do kids have to travel for visa biometrics within the UK? I think children who were under 6 years of age as at the last time they applied for a visa need to go for biometrics. I'm having same issue, my 8year old was able to use the app while my 6 years old has to go to the center because she wasn't yet 6 the last time she applied and didn't have her fingerprints captured. |

If he hasn't done biometrics, he can write a letter addressing the error and upload alongside his other documents. I think the amount paid is also stated on the CAS. Dimejidude: Good morning my people. A friend of mine discovered a few errors on his visa application form after having paid the visa application fee + IHS fee. Please what options does he have? The error has to do with how much he has paid so far, instead of £7000 he put £4000. Thanks. |

May God bless you all abundantly.
If you're new here, please read from the first page, if you do this, you’ll get answers to all your questions even before you ask. Follow the thread everyday if you can. I never liked reading, but for the sake of JAPA, I developed reading habit by following this thread. This thread became part of my daily routine. I didn’t know anything about Uk study visa before I started following this thread. Alhamdulilah, by following this thread daily, I now know a lot about it. You can do everything yourself from A-Z. It’s simple but stressful. Yes, NO PAIN, NO GAIN. There is so much to learn here. It paid off Walahi.
Kindly note that it’s a long process, I’ll advise you take one step at a time and please don’t forget to prepare ahead of the next step, get all documents/answers ready before you get to the next stage. With this, you’re good to go.
For your winter jackets, kindly call this number: +2347067915309 or 08124387531, I got mine from him in yaba.

This is wrong. The day of visa application is the day you pay for IHS and visa. If you download the visa application, the date and time of application is the date and time payment was made. RhylanTraveller: For me, the date of VISA application is the day you've been to TLS and finished with them, because that is when the VISA processing actually starts. Not after the IHS/VISA fee payments. |

From the requirements I saw at Alausa center, you can use your payment receipt and application form if your passport isn't ready. This is compulsory for the mother but the father's NIN can be used in place of the passport. Themmiee21: @gisselle,
Thank you for this response..
I pray we find the Almighty's favour so that same process can be applied to us.
Yes both parents have NIN and father has driver license. We will write the letters.

I did mine at NIMC office, Alausa. You will need an affidavit, pay close to 1k for the correction(#500 to NIMC + charges), write a letter(format available there), fill some forms also do capturing again. I was told to come back after 6 weeks but it wasn't ready by then. It took about 4 months. I don't know if they have improved on that. haysparcz: Please , I need guidance on how to correct an error with my gender on my NIN for the purpose of passport renewal.
