I was shook when I saw it, I thought it’s POF the dating site, had to click on the ad to satisfy my curiosity, took me straight to a whatsapp business page.
ndidibabe:
I am dumbfounded to know that there is an advertisement of proof of fund on this travel section. Did Seun approve this?

What is really going on? Is this thing legit now?

99years on leasehold, no cladding just bricks, what bothers me the most is it affects almost all flats in that block from their history.
Ticha:
Length of lease left, cladding issues, major repairs coming up, low sinking funds across board - linked to major repairs, low EPC (new rules in place around EPC). Just jejely leave that flat alone

It’s brick and no cladding issues. Someone said maybe it Cus of a redevelopment plan but I’m still wondering what could be the main reason
mizGene:
Might be issues with the cladding... make sure to check that it isn't the outdated/non fireproof cladding type... I don't recall what the right term is again...but persons with properties built with that type are selling off below value.

If the value is dropping it’s worth investigating very closely.

The location of the property is good, very very close to the train station just 2-4 minutes walk. Although there’s a canal between the blocks of flat and the train station
OkanlawonB:
Always expect depreciation in value of properties located in areas with deteriorating and escalating level of antisocial behaviour.
Better hands off from such property.

It’s a flat and there’s no renovation needed at least from the pictures. Also I knw a friend that lives in same block and it looks ok to me
LagosismyHome:
Yes some areas are like that.... Best to stay away from such area . Also if the house now needs modernisation or renovation then you can see this kind of fall as well

Me thinks they want to take over the market from Canada and US in the near future with the visa categories they are looking to implement

They should just change for student visas and make time spent schooling also count towards ILR

Waiting to see what they will come up with when the scale up visa is finally released in detail

It’s cheap sef but you shld get a council tax waiver letter from uni and send to them
ganiruogene:
I and my wife just moved into our first apartment in the Uk- Glasgow to be precise. The council tax bill for the month just landed it’s divided into council tax-103pounds, water charge -15pounds, waste charge-18pounds making a total of 138pounds. Please I want to know if it’s normally this high for a month? Secondly I have tried sending mails to the council to inform them that I’m a student and as such entitled to waivers but I haven’t gotten a response from them for more than three weeks now. Please any pointers on how to get across to them will be appreciated.

Vacate the property ASAP, calling the police is indirectly involving ursef
Akorkor:
My people, please make una help me too. I have not even spent one month in the UK, and I was advised to call the police.

I moved to this house recently, and since I came in, I noticed an influx of people besides my flats. Some guys are there selling drugs, but it's not my concern. A council lady came and dropped her card. She requested I call her, which I did, and she asked if I had noticed any strange activities in the house, but I answered NO that what I saw was the untidiness around the stairs. Because I feel she may even be working with them.
So last week, I bought a camera always to see the people dropping my packages and ensure we are at least secure. I didn't face the camera towards the step but just opposite my door. This evening I came back from work, lo and beheld the camera was expunged. I quickly called the agent, and she told me the Council is actually on the matter of that house that I should calm down, and she will get back to me. She call me back that I should inform the police. Now my question is, I am scared to start calling the police—something I have never done in my life, even when in Nigeria. I am scared. What do you think I should do? Call the police or hold on?

As long as you can get a CAS letter for the topup and the university is a tier 4 sponsor then it’s fine. After the topup you can continue to start an MSc programme. You shld also qualify for the post study work visa after you complete your studies
rottenPussy:
Please what are the chances of getting a visa if one apply for a 1year top up programme?

Also, would one be eligible for post-study visa after such programme?

Are there know difficulty is processing did MSc right after the topup?

Someone that lives in Nigeria told me UK clothes are of better quality than the US. How true?

To the question, maybe the tax differences
