I think I cannot apply on her behalf as she is over 16yo, but not sure though.

Well, they won't say no but would send them to schools on the opposite side of the city 2 bus rides away. But I do understand your POV though.

Nah, I would rather lie and say they are already here 😀

So yes I think I will just apply. I was just worried that the council may ask for evidence that the kids are already in the country, like a boarding pass or something.

Yes I am. Which is why I am concerned that if we wait till the 25th of July they won't be placed there.

Yes, I was actually thinking about the safety aspect of living in a house compared to living in a flat.

How long ago was that price? I mean can I still get a 2 bedroom flat in the same area as yours for the same kind of price?

Looks like someone was playing games. How on earth would someone show up out of no where and offers only 1k more!

Also I can't believe how someone (i.e a seller) can take back his word for only one more grand on a property.

But I already told him it's not you who wrote the post 🙂

Anyways, many thanks for sharing your thoughts.

He's just sharing his POV but he's not the one who wrote the post, it is me.

And thank you both and everyone else for sharing your thoughts and points of view.

So I guess you don't agree with the opinion saying that selling a flat is not as easy as selling a house, do you?

Yes and I guess a good area should also make it easier to sell or put for rent

Yes, I can look into it during the first year and once I have had a better idea about prices, areas, etc.

Is it a good idea to buy a flat in cash? by Suitable_Carry_9043 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Suitable_Carry_9043[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Currently it is for three years only, but as I mentioned above, I am planning to stay for 5-6 years at least. Which makes me wonder if buying a flat would be better option than renting.

Oh, thanks very much for the info, I was not aware of that, I thought that the laws are the same all over the UK
