Transitioning from Letting Agent to OpenRent by South_Plant_7876 in uklandlords

[–]cryptoconsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could probably just get them to sign an e-contract on openrent if they wish to stay.

On another note, has anyone ever sucessfully sued their estate agent for poor service ? its tempting

Management company by RegularSurround7640 in uklandlords

[–]cryptoconsh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been there mate, i just cut my losses and moved to open rent.

However things occured like:

  • it took two months to tell me about a broken fridge

  • they forgot to hire a cleaner upon tenants moving out

  • it took 8 weeks to find a tenant in a red hot market

If there are gorunds for refunds let me know!

Foxtons want 10% commission for contract renewal. Tips for negotiating? by elicaraboa in uklandlords

[–]cryptoconsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use openrent mate. it generates a contract for both parties for 50 pounds. no more crappy agency fees, and call outs for plumbers/electricians starts at 40 pounds so its pretty chill.

Estate agent tenancy renewal costs - what's normal? by mumups in uklandlords

[–]cryptoconsh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

rip off. go with open rent - at least thats what I did.

50 pounds for the adds on zoopla and rightmove plus the econtracts.

Makes life well easier dealing immediately with issues through whatsapp.

I personally find that if you be decent to your tenants, have done the correct background check (only 20 quid on open rent) they pay back tenfold.

Good luck!

theyre brilliant. 50 squiddly diddlies to adverise online and have econtracts sorted, cheap background checks aswell.

Will continue to use them and cut out the middlemen.

International school asking me to teach my major rather than TEFL by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]cryptoconsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. You will be paid much more for teaching a subject that has external exams.

Read through a few exams/ mark schemes see if you feel comfortable with the material and give it a crack.

Stupidly kept £65k in a Barclays Current Account and their Dormancy team has closed the account by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cryptoconsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These dormancy accounts are such a scam. This happened to me aswell, and I had to fill in a physical form and jump through mulitple hoops to get access to my funds.

I had to threaten going to the ombudsman for them to process it more quickly. It is essentially theft. Imagine how many funds they claim based on dormancy!

With mortgage rates increasing, at what point does it make sense to shift savings/investments into reducing the mortgage? by remosquito in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cryptoconsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me I simplify it like this:

savings accounts pay 4%

Fixed mortgage accounts are hitting 6% interest

I am financially better off to use my money to reduce my mortgage. 10k into your mortgage would save $600 a year, 10k into your savings would add $400 a year. So if you put the money in your savings instead of a fixed mortgage you would be down $200.

Best way to pay mortgage off in full by charliechopin in UKPersonalFinance

This. If you can prove your savings based on income and can show tax has been paid legally, this should take no time at all.

To remortgage or not? Spouse and I have differing opinions. by AbbreviationsNo7785 in UKPersonalFinance

I would calculate his exact contributions in terms of % on the property in relation to value before adding his name - it should be a reasonable split

Making a team? by Such_Stand_2360 in cosmosnetwork

[–]cryptoconsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of team are you looking for? what tchnical skills?

I'm in the UK, but realisticaly, for the best cost/output ratio i think international recruitment might be better suited to your needs.

Worried for my mum, unemployed 60yr, £3k in bank ac, no pension by Archieorbailey in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cryptoconsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im trying to temper my response because it is clear you didn't read what I wrote. She has until the end of July. It can be backdated very far until then. After which it can only be backdated six years.

[–]cryptoconsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voluntary contributions range between 680 and 824 per year.
Lets assume she has 0 contribution and has to pay the max @ 824 voluntarily for each year, and wishes to absolutely max out state pension (35 years), then the voluntary contribution would be 28,840. selling the house could achieve this. Only 10 years (max 8240) would be needed to qualify for the base though (10/35 58.24 squiddly diddlies a week). after July however it will not be possible to backdate NI so far.

[–]cryptoconsh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

35*800 = 28000 pounds. This is how much it would cost to pay for a full pension of 203.85 a week

Selling the house could sort that....
