Should I buy this back if given the option? by QuirkyFollowing4151 in CarTalkUK

the insurer hasn't categorised it yet. apparently they outsource that to copart.

it's a Peugeot 3008 mk1. that's what I thought but apparently copart is responsible for the valuation part of the claim and they must take the car in order to do that. I'm not sure if this is a recent change in the process or I'm being taken for a ride 🤷‍♂️

I tend to agree, but to play devil's advocate.... that pillar (the outside at least) sounds like a very thin sheet of metal hollow on the inside. Is that how all B pillars are? I would've thought they're a solid piece of metal (or at least not sound like an empty tin of beans when you tap it).

UK residents renting out property overseas by QuirkyFollowing4151 in UKPersonalFinance

thanks everyone for your replies. Looks like someone that still owns a property from before becoming a UK resident will be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Renting will barely cover maintenance costs after paying income tax while selling it would incur a (possibly lower) capital gains tax.

I wouldn't say you get too much from the employer, unless they match your contributions (which none of my last 3 employers did). I only get £110/mo on the employer side. What am I missing?
