Hi all,

I received a call from someone claiming to be from LIRS, stating that I owe tax for last year. He advised me to log in and resolve the issue. However, I noticed that he appeared to have access to my account. He changed my password and sent a new one to me via WhatsApp.

This is a serious invasion of privacy and raises concerns about potential misconduct or extortion. I find it unacceptable that anyone could access my tax account and reset my password without my consent.

For context, I was able to log in with my usual password just two days ago. I am concerned about how this access was obtained and whether there is an official or legal channel to report this incident.

Anyone got admission in UniDerby and needs shared accommodation can contact me

If the property is an HMO, the landlord by default should put locks on room doors......

If it's a family home, locks not required.......

I want to rent out a room in my home. Is it okay to put a lock?

Hello all,

Is there any disadvantages to having locks to my room doors?

I have failed the 3rd time. I have had many lessons but no one to practice with except my instructor.
I don tire honestly

My house-buying journey has finally come to a successful end! 🎉

It all started last year with countless viewings—honestly, it felt like a nightmare at times. At one point, I even reached out to @Lexusgs430, who gave me some great advice on what to look out for during viewings. I eventually found a house I liked and was set to complete in August.

But as we got closer to completion, the far-right protests made me take a step back and really consider the area. I realized it was predominantly white, and I just didn’t feel comfortable. After already securing a mortgage with a 5% deposit, I made the tough decision to pull out. The seller wasn’t happy and even called me "wicked," but I stood my ground. My peace of mind mattered more.

I’m just 2 years and a few months in the UK, with my family still back home. Now, I’m hoping to start planning on bringing my kids here. Being a single buyer, this journey hasn’t been easy at all, but I was determined to put down a 10% deposit instead.

By the end of August, I started house hunting again. I found this property, and it checked all my boxes. By September, I was ready to move forward and asked my mortgage advisor to apply. Skipton declined me for no clear reason, but thankfully, Barclays approved me.

The process wasn’t smooth—it was a chain sale, and along the way, I even used part of my savings to support my brother when he arrived in September/October. But I managed to negotiate with the seller for some furniture—three beds, a fridge/freezer, a washing machine, and more—which made things a bit easier.

And now, as of Saturday, I have the keys in my hands! 🏡✨

Rent money 💰 is dead money 💰. This journey wasn’t easy, but Alhamdulillah, what once felt impossible became a reality.

May Almighty God make it easy and possible for everyone aspiring for the same. 🙏

Estroller:
Have you found a house you want to buy yet?
Have you put in an offer on the house?
Has your offer been accepted by the vendor or developer?
All the above should happen first before you need a conveyancer/solicitor.
You can also get a survey of the house done before instructing a solicitor.

Thanks so much. I have found a house but I am yet to put in an offer. I will do it right away.

Thanks
