Meogom:Finally got the keys on Friday as planned after all the Barclays drama. This forum has been a huge source of inspiration and a great bank of information. Reading about people's mortgage journey and learning from them, people sharing insights, all the banter and vibes ati be be lo. Thanks so much to this great house. Now phase 2 begins, putting the house in order, all my DIY skills will severely put to test, we go dey do am small small. And @Lexusgs430, no pressure ![]() |
Meogom:Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Finally heard back from Barclays via the mortgage advisor. Was given two options 1) Pay off the credit 2) Have the mortgage offer reevaluated based on the new available info. We opted for the 1st option and have paid off, so hopefully things should move on as planned. Thanks once again for your input, greatly appreciated. |
Fred2020:Thank you. We're borrowing 32k less than the maximum. The plan was even to use the deposit we get from our current landlord towards the loan and pay off the balance from our salaries. I asked the mortgage advisor if we should pay off the loan, but she said we should hold on for a feedback from Barclays. But I don't want to tell the solicitor to hold on. |
D1uncle:Thanks guys. It's not a new credit card, I've had that card but not used it for over year, would that still show on a hard search? Do you think payoff will help in this case? We are not borrowing maximum amount, there is a difference of about 32k between max and what we are borrowing. Mortgage advisor was the one that suggested we tell the solicitor to hold the exchange till she hears from Barclays. The process has been moving sweetly and swiftly, don't want this my mistake to be a problem. |
Hello guys. Please I need your input. So we've agreed 25th July for completion, and solicitor say contracts would be exchanged this coming week, no chains. We went ahead to buy some household stuff from curry's on finance (£1640 @0% interest for 12 months). Now estate agent asked that hope we've not gone buying stuff, told her we bought some stuff, she said she was going to get in touch with Barclays to ask if it's a problem, but that we should tell the solicitor to hold on the exchange till we get feedback. Abeg what should we do in this instance, cos I don't want to tell the solicitor to hold on. Whats the implications and the worst case scenario, Could Barclays withdraw the mortgage offer cos of this? We have some funds available for setting up the house, do we just use this to pay the credit? |
Lexusgs430:Option 1 is slightly cheaper. That's the option my advisor suggested, just wanted more opinions. I guess I'll go with it. Thanks boss |
Hello guys. Trying to choose wilhich rate to go with The options from Barclays are 1) 4.84% for 2ys fixed without product fee 2) 4.67% for 2yrs fixed with product fee of £900 3) 4.67% for 5yrs fixed with product fee of £900. My mortgage advisor suggests we should go with the first option, as she's positive we can get better rates in 2years. Whats your advice here please. Will appreciate your insights. |
Goodenoch:£4500 and 5000 |
Good day my ppl. Please I need advice. Got this quote from a solicitor, I can see many things are not included, abeg will it come back to haunt me? Abi I can do without those things mentioned. Cos the other quotes I'm getting are quite high. It's only this one that is reasonable (£2047) but I can see many things are not included.

Lexusgs430:OK, thanks boss. Yea, landlord is aware. |
Compliments of the season my good people. Please I need help with something. I gave out a room in my rented house. Lodger is moving out and wants me to give a reference for his new letting agent.

jedisco:Noted. Thank you |
So there's this stuff people at my work place claim, about £140 pounds tax relief for washing your uniform, they said I could apply for it too. I've gone through it and I tick all the boxes, but I don't know if it's public fund and if I'm entitled to it. Make 140 quid no go purge belle. Please does anyone know about it and am I safe to go ahead with it. Note: I'm on skilled worker dependent visa |
Good evening my good people. My student dependent visa expires on the 30th of January, I have made an application to switch to tier 2 skilled visa, the application is still pending. My employer is asking for my right to work, how do i prove my right to work. I already told them I can continue pending the outcome of the application, but them no knw anything. |
eniola1010:You can search for Easy insurance (https://www.eazyinsure.co.uk/terms_conditons.php), they are brokers and they got me a good deal, far better than I got from those compare websites. You could give them a try. Merry Christmas folks |
Lexusgs430:Update: got a response from council. Just as oga Lexusgs430 said, the ticket has been cancelled. They said though the car was wrongly parked and there is photo evidence, but it's been cancelled because of the enforcement officer's mistake. £35 saved. I promise to go and sin no more. |
[quote author=Lexusgs430 post=127253622]It's almost your lucky day ........ What do you do ...... - Guard that ticket like you won the lotto... - Send an appeal to the council, explaining your plight and their mess up. Include your details so they could respond back ....... What would they do ...... - They have pictures of your vehicle..... - Another PCN cannot be reissued.... ----- They would eventually have to cancel the PCN...... Your lucky day .......😁🤣 NB: The ticket inspector might be sent to vision 2020 or specsavers..........👀👀👀👀 Thanks sir @Lexusgs430, I've done as you advised, I await their response.

[quote author=kwakudtraveller post=127252770]Why not contact the company that sent you the penalty charge? [/quote Its from the council, it was dropped on my screen. And I already called the council but was stonewalled. |
Good evening my good people. I got a Penalty charge notice for wrong parking, but there was a mistake with the registration number, was 22 instead of 62. I tried paying or initiate an appeal on the council site, but it's not going through. When I try with the correct registration number it comes up with "the combination of notice number, VRM you have enter cannot be found, please try again". When I enter the one on the PCN, it says" there is currently nothing outstanding on this notice". Don't knw how to progress from here, and I learnt its not good to just ignore PCN. Tried calling council, they said the only options for PCN is to either pay or appeal, that they don't offer any guidance on that,but I can't do any of those two. |
Good morning my good people. Trying to set up DD for energy, abeg which one is better fixed or standard variable tariff. |
Solumtoya:Does it help if I pay back directly by bank transfer, or does t have to be by direct debit. |
Solumtoya:I just wanted to understand the thing ni o, cos I was surprised when I saw the payslip. Was able to get more info online and I understand it better now |
KOVIC19COVID20:Yea, thanks. I knw thats the meaning, but I thought it was supposed to be added to the salary, but the salary remains unchanged |
Good day my ppl. So I got my pay slip and saw some new stuff (I was away from work for one week due to sickness). Saw osp, ssp and osp contra payment, but they didn't make any difference to the money. Osp payment + Ssp payment = Osp contra payment They added osp and ssp then subtracted osp contra, thereby making net difference zero (0), so in other words, no effect on the final payment. Abeg what does it mean please, I've checked the Internet but still don't get it. |
Schoolhike:Trying to update house address on my insurance policy, and I'm get a new quote of almost double of what I was paying, and the new address is very close to the old one. Na so dem dey do am? |
rinzylee:Abeg can i switch my recently switched natwest? Opemed monzo and switched it to natwest last month, can I switch the natwest to another bank for bonus? |
Bourne007:Na wah o, had the same Overspeeding issue and my international driving licence was accepted |
Good day my people. I work with a company where I'm being appropriately taxed, and I sometimes pick shifts on index flex during weekends when I'm free just to add a few extra quids. The pay is mostly between 100 and 120 pounds. I noticed indeed flex does not remove any tax, just wanted to ask if this is not an issue make dem no go talk say person dey owe tax after sometime. |
