Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by deept(m):
And to add to what has been said about properties a few pages back:

Keep abreast of current and future regulations. I read today that from 2025 landlords with houses with EPC rating D or less will have to upgrade their properties to level C before they can start new tenancies.

This has potential to add significant cost to upgrade properties for landlords. The landlord usually will pass cost to tenant so potential increase in rent.

I think they are planning same for house sales too, If your house is not up to a certain EPC rating, you won't be able to sell. Don't quote me o.

Civil engineers in Uk.
I have question, what the advantages of completing a MSc in civil engineering in uk, with a good grade?

Will it be easier to get graduate jobs, or it doesn’t matter at all.

Who can also share experiences of church networking and networking with other Nigerians to get good jobs in uk related to one’s discipline. How effective is it?
Thank you

I think the next one should be how to build and save up for mortgage deposit.

I have heard of the “ajo/esusu” style and also cash gift

How does the "ajo/esusu" style works. Wouldn't the repayment/contribution show in the bank statement and potentially affect affordability?

Simply wait for 3 or more months after receiving the funds in your account before you make a full mortgage application as lenders usually ask for bank statements of the last 3 months preceding your application.

Anyone have details on the Tier 2 health and care visa for those already living in the UK? Does it really include Health Care Assistants?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by omopapa: 8:51pm On Mar 10, 2022
For example: 10 group of friends contributing £1,000 monthly. One person pack the total contribution and use it for down payment of their mortgage.

They continue the circle until it goes round

If you do not hold a foreign passport, getting a US visa is very easy. You just need to understand the "common" strategy that applies for UK resident applicants.
Wetin be the strategy na? No dey give us half gist na wink wink
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by omopapa: 10:21pm On Mar 10, 2022
I very much doubt it except it’s those inhabitable houses that will require plenty of refurbishment work

Yes, you can. I currently have 2 mortgages. My source of income and affordability tests were based on my contract jobs.

I used very good mortgage brokers/advisors that sourced the lowest possible interest rates for me though.

Anything is possible if you have a very good mortgage broker that knows his stuff.
Please name them? If you don’t mind.

[quote author=Ralphlauren post=110885731]As lexusgs430 has suggested, travel to the US and do all your shopping. Its cheaper than you think. If you travel off peak, you can get return BA flights from London to New York for around £350-£400.

Prior to the pandemic, I would travel to the US at least twice a year for vacation and stock up on casual/office wear. Talk about using one bird to kill two stones. grin My username says it all. You get the best RL outfits for the best prices in the US. grin

If you do not hold a foreign passport, getting a US visa is very easy. You just need to understand the "common" strategy that applies for UK resident applicants. [/quote]

Designer boss, pls share the common strategy oo, want to step out of UK soon. Can someone qualify for Dropbox in the UK as well
