Assuming the landlord agrees for me to sublet (tough job), does it run contrary to the terms of my tier 2 visa?

For tier 2 I know we can have a second job in the industry for which our CoS was issued.

I'd like your opinions on this please. Will subletting have any impact on my future ILR?

Your tenancy agreement, would implicitly prohibit subletting...........

Why would the LL put his investment at risk......... wink

They just paid for their ILR.

Nope. They still have 5 years to go before ILR. This is BRP with a permanent job (non medical/shortage list). So Visa fee per person was £1,423 before you add IHS for 5 years. Multiply by 4.

Before you received the keys, your LL/estate agent, did some vetting........

The results of that vetting, forms part of an insurance policy/home office requirement/legal framework etc etc

- Let's assume your tenant starts to mess up, how do you intend to evict ?
- Do you have plans to issue receipts, if NO...... But your tenant demands one .......
- Would you be vetting your tenant........
- Would you risk been evicted, when your LL finds out..... Plus the financial consequences that would arise.......
- Make I continue........... grin

Random Musings: What’s the largest amount you’ve heard a family has had to pay for their BRP?

Today I heard £18k and was completely blown! Family of 4. 5 years visa fee + IHS. That’s crazzzyyyyyyy!!! A whole mortgage deposit! Whew! You think your own is bad until you hear what other peeps are going through.

You have to pay if you want to play. No free lunch.

I would like to know this because I'm nursing the idea.

Are there any consequences if it's my house (on mortgage of course) and I sublet one room or use it for airbnb while I occupy the other 2.

Payment is not in dispute. It’s the fact that it’s a very expensive lunch. Like that Salt Bae’s Steak. Especially considering that all ‘Payees’ are contributing to the community and paying taxes.

More reason why it’s important not to mess up your chances by any ‘freebies’ that will land you in trouble. Do quick and leave the rat race.

You are allowed to rent a room in your house tax free under the rent an room scheme. More or less take in a lodger. As long as the income is not more than £7,500 per annum.

It's plenty already, boss.

So it sounds like the main risk is me not being able to handle a crazy person who I sublet to. And also the risk of the landlord finding out, which I don't think is even smart to start without express consent.

Besides these concerns, is there any implication on a potential ILR?

What's funny is you can say this, and all agree you're offering clarification + stating a fact, yet Munamoqel said same a while ago and was called bad belle.

But still on still, if I have made a down-payment and I have the keys, I should be able to rent parts of the house out, provided I don't default for the duration of that arrangement...and beyond.

interesting. So I pay shitload of money to get a house I'd probably spend my productive years paying for, but the income I can make on my hefty investment is capped to 625 a month. Na wa o. What tax rate will apply when it is higher than 625 a month?

A very clear difference exists in clarification vs perceived bad belleism.......... cheesy

We also need to understand the difference between residential vs buy2let mortgage structure.........

You cannot buy a property with residential mortgage, then let property out......... That's a form of defrauding your lender.........

We are saying the same thing, getting 5yrs BRP straight is like paying for ILR.

Slowly, this talk is gaining traction and festering in their minds. I guess they're allowing it to stew, so when they finally make the decision the outrage and backlash wouldn't be so much.

I think what they'll do is to reduce the number of dependents one can bring

OR

Limit post study grants to students who enroll in courses on the SOL and ask schools to make admissions more stringent

Happy weekend!

Please can I get your thoughts on these rides; Vaxhaul - Corsa and Astra, Honda Jazz, Mazda 3, Nissan Note; all auto between 05-08.

Any personal experience, known disadvantages or problems?

Background: I'm currently researching for a good auto car with a budget of 3k. My research reveals that budget will get be something between 2008 and below. I've been advised on brands to avoid like plague due to their wahala.

Just trying to expand my research to avoid gbeje.
