Thanks!

Ticha:
Good morning! Q1. Yes. Q2 - it depends. Some 2nd banks won't talk to clients direct. Start with your bank and if no headway there, use an independent broker - ie not one affiliated to a bank or estate agents

Another option is to contact building societies eg Coventry, Swinton, Dudley - they'll talk to you and refer you to brokers they will need with.

Ticha:
Not for first home buyers. And most banks will accept less than 18 months on your visa. 2nd tier banks will even take any overseas income into consideration too.

Madam!

I always look forward to your view on properties in the UK.. Kindly clarify the ffg:

1. Can someone on a T2 visa with just about a year living in the UK get mortgage at 10% (even 25%) deposit?

2. Which specific banks should one target?


Many thanks.

but most of us coming on a student visa with this experience, how can we blend in to the 20 hour work schedule of our school... abi we fit run am part time?? I get swimming pool experience and I know every detail about pool plumbing, ive also work with a baba one time on house plumbing, not much difference in terms of plumbing components, parts, and equipments with pool , major difference is working principle, and same goes for sprinkler or fire fighting system .....I can install various types of centifugal pumps... submersible, surface pumps... etc... I guess I have to go n build more on other aspects then.... can one really do the plumbing thing on student visa and get sponsored visa job

Nice skills you've got there.

On student VISA, yes but not more than 20hrs.

Sponsorship? Difficult but not impossible.

I know someone who learnt plumbing in Nigeria and as an apprentice, the oga sef say e never know work but found himself in New Zealand, fine tuned his skills and the company that recruited him on the basis of his skills filed for him and even helped him move his family to NZ. So, nothing is impossible!

claremont:
A plumber who works 7 days a week in a socioeconomically deprived area like parts of Tyne and Wear would struggle to make £30,000/year.

Very true... But this won't affect just trades people living in this area, it would affect people in other dicisplines too!


Vocational skills may surely not be the BEST way to go, but it's a very good alternative especially when academic prowess is added... At least better than working as a care giver without end.

Between, the same Totaljobs says
doctors earn an average of £32k/nurses earn £36k on average per year.

Raalsalghul:
I only just came across this fact recently, however these trainings are expensive and it takes years for one to become a recognized professional: might not be palatable for one who wants to hit the ground running and with a limited time like 3 or 4 years to extend their stay.

I'm open to correction though.

If you have the requisite knowledge before entering the UK, you can start earning almost immediately by becoming a paid apprentice e.g. plumbing mate and get certified (CSCS) then build from there.

TheGuyFromHR:
It's not that Nigerians don't want to believe it - they know this very well.
But the Nigerian man's love for white-collar employment as a definition of self cannot be uprooted; what do you want them to tell the people at home na?

Lol.

How will one explain he his now a plumber after MSc in Nigeria?

But oyinbo no send... So much for dignity of labour

deept:
I hired a guy to come plaster a section of a wall earlier this month, paid over £200 for less than a 2 hour job. Speaking to him, he said this was his if i can remember correctly his 10th job for the year.

Good one!

This is a secret most Nigerians don't want to believe.. these are on_demand skills. There are people with MSc that went back to learn vocational trades and are now making so much money! You can also check job boards to see how much plumbers/electricians make.

You need to see a psychiatrist.

Afobear:

For me, I will patronize someone that has been doing this business for years...

seyewest:
Must you talk? you ain't helping oooo... you're just catching cruise.... and it's unfair, you can read and learn not every time talk. I'm not attacking you just telling you how I see it, no offense.

Gbam!

Spanishmilf:

Modify your post
French u no gree, English u no gree

I know you are trying to make a joke but you don't speak/write good English too, except when you copy from quora.

ysteph:
like a boy from a broken home sounds discriminatory.....the same thing you complain of is what you just did yourself.
Lets be care ful with our words.

I was going semi-civil.

My post was not near the insults he rained on me and sleepy already.

Edited, thanks!

Tell tell him not to come near me o.

He should not call me those unprintable names o.

I will bite him if he comes close to me.

I am not as gentle as the others he talks to anyhow.

Spanishmilf:
don't let me screenshot my email messages nor my whatsapp messages funny thing u savage me online but y'all bitches Will Be in my dm Asking for my contact....... Bleep you, you could have ignore me or just stfu

Just read what you put up there, do you think it is normal?

I would have schooled you this night if not for your last apologetic post.

Had to check your profile on NL, you registered 05/2019 meaning you are very new here too.

I have spent a couple of days here and read wonderful posts and yours as been the most unprofessional, empty and insultive.

You need to sit down and learn because I am sure you have never had a US visa!


Now, this is me being civil. If you come back at me like a boy without manners, you won't like yourself.

Spanishmilf:
I'm talkin, on behalf of all us here in this section.......... U can write 1 paragraph abeg

On behalf of who?

Really, how old are you?

Most of the stuffs you post here are very insensitive and abusive.

Have you attended a US VISA interview before?

Have you been to the US before?

I doubt you have any experience on US visa cases.


I bet anyone that follows your advise here has OYO has his/her case.

Don't touch me, I no well o, I am going back to my corner.
