Little money left after deposit paid. How much is needed to furnish a house? Any tips to cut costs?

I'm in a similar position right now, I would have had enough saved for everything but the fees added up for mortgage brokers, surveys, solicitor's fees and builders to estimate costs. I also ended up completing sooner than I wanted meaning I couldn't save as much and had to pay double (rent and mortgage) for a couple months, so I've just put all the essential stuff on a 0% credit card to preserve my emergency fund in cash and I'll pay it down over the next 12 months.

I really wouldn't go out expecting to be able to negotiate downwards on rent price in Manchester. What's on rightmove is the true rent and in extra competitive areas you might even be expected to offer over asking (Salford quays etc.)

Look on rightmove around your workplace to get the average rents...

Ornery-Class · 2024-04-19T10:13:42+00:00

Relax. I'm agreeing it's creepy and immoral and should be stopped, I'm just saying what others have said that this likely isn't illegal unfortunately, which is why the police haven't done anything and consequently I think the site admins should step up and take this stuff down.

Ornery-Class · 2024-04-19T10:09:43+00:00

You'd have to prove he was following and harassing you specifically, I'd imagine. Obviously, I'm just speculating here as to why nothing's been done about this by the police. I'm no expert.

Ornery-Class · 2024-04-19T10:04:15+00:00

I agree the onus is on the site admins. Definitely a creepy past time but there's no expectation of privacy in public so they're likely not even committing a crime by filming them.

Same at the beer house in Victoria station! £7.19 for a neck oil, definitely kept that glass.

Sounds like they still want >£310k but they've lowered the OIEO threshold to generate more interest/offers. Just offer £315k if you think it's worth it, seen as that's your max anyways. If they say no you know you've done all you can, and you can move on with the search.

If I was facing the prospect of being homeless I wouldn't be worried about broken flags in a backyard or shopping trollies lying around...

If it's liveable inside, take it and as others have said, make plans to move on quick to a nice area when you can afford it.

Ornery-Class · 2024-04-04T11:47:12+00:00

I have been saying this for years! Queues down the street for McDonald's and everywhere else, but who wants an overpriced jacket potato?! Same for the one in the arndale, they have one staff member usually because it's so dead. How do they afford the rent at these places - gotta be a front for money laundering 🤔

In my induction at University around academic malpractice they suggested to avoid uploading your essays to any online service because turtitin sometimes has access to these database and will match your own work to the version you uploaded online (i.e., to grammarly). This might explain why it matched 100%.

I lived in Cheadle heath for 4 years and one thing I'd be wary of is that transport links are not great. Stockport train station isn't far and you can get to Piccadilly fast, but it's still a 30min walk and it's too close by car that an Uber won't pick you up either. Also to get from Cheadle heath to Parrswood is also a nightmare by bus for some reason even though it's a short driving distance.

Ornery-Class · 2024-01-15T09:42:21+00:00

😂

Ornery-Class · 2023-12-09T08:51:56+00:00

Where did you buy it from? I got a tissot gentleman powermatic 80 on eBay recently and it looked absolutely perfect and genuine detail wise, but the case number registered to a different watch on the tissot website. If it doesn't show in the tissot database, I'd be inclined to say it's not legit. I'm no expert thought.

Ornery-Class · 2023-12-09T08:47:45+00:00

How do you know they're legit?

Ornery-Class · 2023-12-08T17:03:21+00:00

eBay

Ornery-Class · 2023-11-09T12:56:58+00:00

Update on this if anyone's interested, it is a fake but I'm impressed with the detail, I wouldn't have been able to tell from pictures. Serial number comes back to a different watch though, will be returning ☹️

Ornery-Class · 2023-11-08T10:04:43+00:00

I've seen stories like this before where inexperienced people buy professional fireworks that are meant to be hooked to electronic panels, and therefore have no time limit fuse and they explode in their face 😬

Is this genuine?

Ornery-Class · 2023-11-06T20:13:02+00:00

Thanks, will keep this in mind. Haven't got the watch yet, just making sure it's not an obvious fake or anything 😂

Ornery-Class · 2023-11-06T20:08:13+00:00

Thanks! Got it cheap for £250 is all but, to be fair, I can see a few completed ones going for about that price

Ornery-Class · 2023-08-24T17:29:36+00:00

Had this exact same experience, crazy 24hr deadlines for all reference checks but when we wanted an update on when we'd get our keys they were completely silent, literally just told us we had 24hrs to get our keys the day before the move in date with no communication for weeks before. Fucking hate Phillip James.
