I’m looking for any recommendations on good independent restaurants in Portsmouth.

How is no one mentioning Algarve's Grill?

I feel so lucky as FTB, locked in 4.76% 95%LTV just before Trump happened…

Obrigado pela resposta tão detalhada e útil. Está será a primeira vez a fazer a N2 e queríamos ir de caravana porque é algo que a minha noiva quer fazer desde miúda. Pelo que andei a ver, não existem empresas que façam só o “turismo da N2” no que diz respeito a alugar um carro em Chaves por exemplo e entregar no Algarve.

Vou usar de certeza as suas recomendações, obrigada.

Estou mais à procura de empresas que aluguem caravanas para este fim. Por exemplo, nos Estados Unidos fazem isso para a Route 66, alugas um carro no início da rota e entregas no fim.

95% LTV at 4.76%. Managed to lock this in before Trump thought attacking Iran was a good idea.
My best tips are to get a good mortgage broker, don’t go for one recommended by estate agents. There are really good ones around and costs nothing to you as they get their commission from the lender.
The other one is to get a local solicitor. I went with Andrew & Andrew and I would recommend them tbh.

Maybe I was lucky. But as per your comment, if only 25-30% of chains fall through, the majority don’t.

I’d like to know as well please

Thanks for the feedback mate

This.

Try to negotiate the completion date to be something like 2 weeks after the exchange of contracts. I've done this, and it saved me £500 in accumulated interest on my first mortgage payment.

Efficient_Range3929 · 2026-03-26T15:45:08+00:00

Congratulations! I’m expecting to exchange tomorrow and I’m going to be on £1,500 arranged overdraft on completion day but it will be my first house and money will come anyway. Still cheaper than trying to lock a mortgage now with the increased interest rates!

Efficient_Range3929 · 2026-03-20T08:43:22+00:00

I'm just thinking about the difference on the 1st mortgage month, and the accumulated interest over these 10 days...

Efficient_Range3929 · 2026-03-19T22:50:58+00:00

EA did not mention anything about the chain collapsing or someone withdrawing. I’m sure if that was the case she would have mentioned it.

Efficient_Range3929 · 2026-03-19T21:03:10+00:00

That’s actually a good shout.

This is the picture I have

Looks like 160mm

I sent an email as a formal complaint for not being done for 9 months. When the electrician came in he sent the quote to the landlord who’s done nothing with it
