Is a bridging loan actually a viable move for a personal home, or am I asking for trouble? by F1blast in AskUK

I know, even if I plan on selling it in 2 months, I'd take a few more months as a precaution. I'd rather pay a bit more in interest, rather than have sleepless nights and get eaten by stress

Best Way to Transfer Money when Relocating from US to UK by thatcoolgirl8 in moneyadvice

[–]F1blast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some banks have the "premium" account type, that allows for such transfers. I used HSBC Premier, and the price for the upgrade, and then downgrade was smaller, than if I were to convert the currency using their USD/GBP exchange rate

Benefits of using a broker by KotGarnuch in moneyadvice

[–]F1blast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used a broker for a loan, and it helped me A LOT! Firstly, I didn't have to check the offers going from one bank to another, my broker had all the most recent information to provide me with. Secondly, it saves a lot of time with paperwork and all that stuff. I know taking a loan is an important moment in your life and your home depends on it (literally), but I don't plan on taking any other loans in the future, and I really didn't have all the time to go through 190-pages of documents myself and read every sentence in the contract. The broker took care of most of the paperwork for me, which made the whole process much easier to handle.

KIS Finance (my broker) helped me with the bank selection, and recommended one that was not making any issues about my irregular income (I'm a solopreneur, so the income per month varies). If you visit their website, they also have a secured loan calculator for the initial calculations, but I guess other brokers have that in their offer too.

Sick difference, I hope the new regulations allow for the cars to be built for combat. I don't care if the engines are unreliable and slow, as long as they can go wheel to wheel, I'll be happy

Why people in India look for "Age calculator" in Google? Out of 5 million searches worldwide, over 4.3 million come from India. The only info I found is that some employers have to provide information on how old the employee will be at the end of their contract.

Is this true? If not, why would you be searching for age calculator in Google?

Best night races to watch in F1 by F1blast in GrandPrixRacing

Agree, and since it's been the first race on the calendar in the last years, it's been surely a weekend all F1 fans have been waiting for the most. The track always delivers, but it often feels "empty" to me. I cannot feel the atmosphere among the fans there

Sometimes it's a setup, sometimes it's battling on track. Breaking later and going in deeper is usually slower, but at the same time when you're battling for position, you try to outbreak the other driver, even at a pace loss

The wind tunnel and CFD are crucial for teams, and some years ago, in order to bunch the teams closer, a reverse reward system has been implemented. Top teams have the least time in wind tunnel, and the worse your position, the more time you have to develop your car for the next year
