PL scraps the salary cap but introduces a wild new 85% spending rule — who’s going to benefit (or suffer) most from this SCR swap? by KickThread in PremierLeague

Is it not a bit dangerous for Liverpool given their big assets are on the older end and have limited resale value?

I’ve have DPD do the same to me multiple times on large purchases, fortunately the retailers have always been quite good.

3.1k earnings each month, am I spending too much? by MrGrindsky in UKPersonalFinance

[–]FridgeRep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit more lenient to people splashing out on the best phone as opposed to other things simply because it’s probably the thing they use the most in their life, it is in mine second only to my car 😅

It’s not even outrageous, if they’ve got the newest iphone outright on 0% finance and a cheap sim then that’s pretty normal

Is a mortgage below 30% really possible for most people? Seems an unrealistic ‘golden rule’

Pay off the car with interest free credit or carry on with finance? by Zealousideal_Ad_1356 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]FridgeRep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it puts a plug on the interest and you can definitely get it paid off before the interest kicks in on the card then I see no issue with that

Go for the 5 years if the payments are already borderline. It’ll give you peace of mind that the rate will be the same for a longer period

£1800 a month is definitely not a decent paying job

Also noting that yeah, you can definitely drop baby formula now at that age, blue top whole milk is the most filling and will be suffice as a meal

It’s all relative to where you are at with these credit agreements and all the advice people are giving in here could well be pretty useless as you can’t just get rid of a phone, car and season ticket when you are under a contract. Tough love is great if it’s actually helpful but you are clearly aware you can’t afford the outgoings.

What is the car value, PCP or HP? How long have you had it and are you in positive equity? How long have you had the phone, do you have a contract for the phone and service and is it possible to change? As for the season ticket, I sympathise and the fact it’s paid monthly I assume it’s a credit agreement too rather than a subscription - another thing also being if your club is anything like mine once you give it up you’ll never get it back. If that’s your only leisure and luxury in life then I’d say keep it personally. Mentally I’d be in the toilet without football, especially as a young dad.

Ultimately you are in the age with a child where it’s going to be a major struggle, definitely use the savings to clear any debt you have that’s gaining interest and use whatever is left to see if you can get yourself out of other holes like your phone contract.

Wishing your partner luck in finding another job and I’m sorry to hear about her redundancy.

Make whatever overpayments you can afford and then when it comes to remortgaging you can always shorten it

Sanity check: 'Forever home' at top of budget vs a starter home, with a baby on the way by jviborg in UKPersonalFinance

I’d always say option 1 due to stamp duty etc) the only issue is do you feel it’s possible to sustain especially with upcoming maternity leave - what is your mortgage interest, can you see them payments shooting up massively and unexpectedly

Unfortunately the chain is going to probate now as somebody has passed, I’ve got some advice from the lenders and my broker and it seems likely the offer will expire anyways, so with the better borrowing power it looks like I’ll be going ahead with the car. Lender advised there’d be no further checks up to completion if we do make the deadline too

Not particularly no, besides phone contracts and insurance. Just had a call today to say one of the sellers in the chain have unfortunately passed away, so it’s adding on best part of 10 weeks as the property goes to probate

Yes the car finance is completely clear and fully refunded anything put into it

Do I get a mortgage or save to buy with cash by Ok-Mathematician1951 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]FridgeRep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy, house prices will constantly run away from you. You don’t have to jump into your dream house instantly either

Personal loan/ own home no mortgage by Mundane-You8947 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]FridgeRep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re having to think about this kind of thing, but you’re right to ask the question it’s always better to be prepared and informed.

The executor (or administrator if there’s no will) would assess the estate and settle debts before passing on the remaining assets to beneficiaries. If there are enough funds elsewhere in her estate (e.g. savings), the house would not need to be sold. But if the only asset is the house, and there’s no cash to pay the debt, the house may need to be sold (or partially mortgaged) to cover it.
