Taxi from Scotland to England?
Why not take LNER train from Edinburgh to newcastle

I am traveling with my entire village. That's why I am looking for a taxi option.

I used Express Test last October and I think it was about £50. Tested around 3pm and got the results by noon the next day.

Good evening Ancestors. Thank you all for all the valuable information you keep dropping here.
Please can anyone help me with finding accommodation 2-3bed flat/house in Newcastle NE39 Rowland axis. Secondly any idea on how much it will cost me to use taxi to move from Edinburgh to Newcastle.

Please help.

Call capital cars Edinburgh and they will give you a quote depending on the size of the cab you are looking to book. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, let them know and they can book a 7 seater or any other suitable vehicle for you. Another option is to check uber. The app should give you a quote.

@dhummystecah what I will say is keep searching for professional roles as much as possible despite rejections, one will click eventually. My spouse came in late december as my dependant( I am the student). She came with lots of experience across different areas it was hard settling for what role she should focus on.

Thank you so much. I won’t give up. I am currently busy with a coding bootcamp to upskill.

set up a profile on indeed, not indeed flex o, the original indeed.com so you get notifications easily. Be realistic, evaluate yourself for the roles you know you are skilled at and have experience for

Check online for airport transfers, there are various companies that do it?

Why not use coach??

Good Morning Special people here.
Many thanks to everyone here for the quality of information shared on this platform. I have learnt alot here.

Please I need sound advice and the way forward.


The challenge now is that the 3-bedroom we have made a commitment for won't be ready till the middle of May.
I don't have the energy of looking for short-stay accommodation now.

Please, elders and wise ones, what should I do?

He needs a court order to get you out. So he needs to issue a section 8 and section 21. He should have given you a tenancy agreement and right to rent documents. You can either make this a very painful lesson for him or an easy one. He most definitely cannot sublet a council house and could actually lose the house as well.

So my opinion would be tell him you will stay till May as agreed and pay him the agreed 460 or he can evict you through the proper process which at the minute takes a minimum of 14 months

Okay.
How do I chat you privately?

You cannot issue a legal document, against an illegal business transaction..........

Section 8 or 21, cannot be issued...... Which is the same reason, he could not issue any tenancy agreement documents.........

This is what we call, an illegal contract of convenience............

Has anyone ever had trouble with paying for passport renewal?

I am having issues with making payment for passport renewal via the website.
I applied to register my card but it was refused because I erroneously didn't add a picture of my card.

I have been trying to register again with all three documents but it keeps failing and asking me to enter the correct billing address which I have done multiple times.

I've finally been able to make payment.

But I have another issue lol
The appointment platform let me book an appointment date for April 15th. I didn't realize until this week that it is Good Friday which is a bank holiday. I don't know if they will really open that day.
Is there a fast Way to contact Nigeria high commission? Their phone never gets answered

interesting

Thought I'd answer the questions in a general post

We started off with buying a 2 bedroom flat in Bristol - as our first home. We'd used all of our savings for the deposit but wanted to save up again so rented one room out to a Mon - Fri boarder. We also made some lifestyle changes - sold our 2nd car (we had 1 each), husband started cycling to work (50 mins each way) and I started taking public transport. It turned out the rent from the boarder not only paid all our bills but also covered our basic food costs. By the end of that year, we had saved quite a bit. We then both changed jobs, got paid more and decided to buy a proper family home. It turned out we had some good equity (thanks to rising house prices) in the flat and with our savings, we could afford to buy a bigger house, went to see a broker who also turned out to be a property investor and that's how our property journey started.

Thanks to his advice, we didn't sell the flat but rented it out and bought the biggest house we could afford close to transport facilities. We rented out 3 rooms and kept 2 rooms for ourselves. The rent from the 3 people paid the whole mortgage, bills and covered our food cost so we basically saved all our wages for about 18 months. We then moved to Norfolk - sold the family home and bought 2 houses in one go as we had more than enough equity to put down 2 deposits and even had change left over thanks to the equity from the sale. One in Bristol that we rented out straight away and a complete derelict house for our family home in Norfolk which we completely renovated but before we could move in, my husband got offered a transfer to New Zealand so we rented that one out and shipped out to New Zealand.

Because property is a long game, we have leveraged - so that first flat we bought in 2010 has appreciated so much we took out a deposit out of it to buy a fourth house 2 years ago as well as transferred some to New Zealand to buy our first home here too. This year, we leveraged the New Zealand house by demolishing it and building 2 new houses on the site, re-valued the 2 new ones, rented them out and bought a family home. Again, we have bought a slight larger house and airbnb 2 rooms which has a Jack and Jill bathroom and all the money from there goes into overpaying the mortgage.

The one thing we have done which is not advisable if you want to grow property quickly is that we have left all the mortgages on repayments rather than interest only cos we have also kept our full time jobs as we have no need for the income from the properties to live on now. Our plan is to semi- retire when at 50. That's 7 years away so we're making tracks to achieve that and that involves having at least 2 houses mortgage free.

We're now partnering with another couple - we've joined resources, bought a house sitting on a big plot of land and will demolish that to build 5 houses next year. We've got to the point where we can't service a new mortgage anymore because even if the house pays for itself, banks will still take your incomes into consideration for servicing so a joint venture is the way forward for now.

You do need a deposit and a reasonable credit rating - the higher the deposit, the better the interest rate and the better your credit rating, the better the interest rates as well. You also need to have a good handle on your spending as banks will usually go through your statements with a fine toothcomb. Clean your account up for 3 months before applying for a mortgage. Pay down any unsecured credit, stay away from pay day loans etc.

I have a spreadsheet for calculating if the property works financially or not. For a house you want to live in, most banks will consider 3x income and some even 4x income. Then stress test at around 5% even if interest rates are currently very very low. For a BTL mortgage, you need at least a 20% deposit, a minimum income of 25k (2 banks don't bother about minimum income but their interest rates are quite high), they expect the rent to be 125% of the mortgage payments (interest only so there's lots of wriggle room) but you need to factor solicitor costs, stamp duty of 3%-15% (compulsory on all second homes and 0% on first homes under 125k), mortgage fees, broker fees (you can get a free broker though) and survey fees.

So for a purchase of 100k, you need a 20k deposit, 3k for stamp duty, 600 ish for solicitor, 250/300 for survey costs, usually about 999 for the mortgage application fee and the rent has to be at least 375 a month for a BTL.

For your own home, a 10% deposit will do and with the new government schemes, you can even use a 5% deposit. Plus the additional costs of an owner occupier home is lower - solicitor, stamp duty if buying above 125k are the only extra costs.

Thanks to that first mortgage broker who opened our eyes to the possibilities of what we could do and achieve and for guiding us all the way through and pushing us forward even when we were hesitant.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately both don’t work together. I mean cheap rent and good job (in the UK). Good jobs are more in England for obvious reasons. But cheaper rent are in Scotland. I think you will have to choose which comes first to you.

Like an Indian politician once said “ you can’t have your cake and still eat it”…

I received an update via email today. The update is on the dashboard on the right hand side. You can also click on the application summary to get more details.

From my previous post:

Good Evening Everyone,
After carefully reading all the pieces of advice given here by the wise ones, I sent the Landlord a text message that I want us to resolve the issue peacefully and that I am willing to pay the 60pounds in the next two weeks, the next rent will be 460pounds and will move out by end of May.
He replied and said I should not worry about the 60pounds but should pay 460 in the next rent and also give him 2 weeks whenever I am ready to move out.

I want to thank everyone here for their wise counsel. I am most greatful. Truly no one wins in war. Peace is the way forward.
