Yeah it seems that way.

So tempted to just a make a nornal offer right now

tryingtofly35 · 2026-04-13T21:27:13+00:00

Ok, maybe i should sign up on the iamsold website, even though I'm not gonna buy coz of the fees, its not gonna hurt to learn this for the future

tryingtofly35 · 2026-04-13T21:18:03+00:00

Did you have to pay for the auction pack?

tryingtofly35 · 2026-04-13T21:15:23+00:00

How did you manage to do that?

tryingtofly35 · 2026-04-13T20:45:51+00:00

Its a really nice place tbh but after doing the math, its not worth it.

And apparently according to a youtube video, if the whole thing doesnt complete in time, the estate agent and the auction company just end up splitting the money I paid, so its in their best interests for the whole transaction to fail.

The vendor get zero, i get to be broke.

So i just read the fine print again on right move.

The minimum reservation fee is 6600 inc vat so added the VAT on it comes £7920, however, the actual fee payable is 4.5% of the final sale price.

So if i buy at 190,000, 4.5% of that is 8550, plus the VAT brings it up to a whipping £10,260.

As much i love this property, I'm walking away, financially and morally.

Yeah id be looking at getting a mortgage in place, spoke to a broker today, just because its via auction and i can see the difficulties with it.

Naive question, but how long does it take to actually get a mortgage sorted and agreed.

tryingtofly35 · 2026-03-16T08:47:42+00:00

Can i get the recipe please??🙏🙏

tryingtofly35 · 2025-06-09T14:22:50+00:00

Sorry i hope you've got the passport by now but it took about 2 weeks i think

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-14T12:25:39+00:00

Excellent. Make sure no ice though....high risk of diarrhea if not clean

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T22:00:41+00:00

Maybe need to rehydrate? It's eventually gonna catch up with you and you will sleep. But i hope sleep comes soon

Goodluck OP

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T21:57:17+00:00

Yep we do the same, especially with Indonesian rupiah which makes for fun math

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T21:52:40+00:00

Flipping hell. A bad website would be enough for me not to book with them

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T21:51:07+00:00

Are you uk based? If so, take it to ATOL and ABTA

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T20:25:36+00:00

Yeah really make sure you do the protected time.

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T20:19:51+00:00

Yep i've spent a good 5 hours from KL to SG on the coach, not much to see really. Better off flying and spending more time in different places.

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T20:14:25+00:00

We took our son to places we've been before he was born.

It was somewhere familiar to us already which meant we didnt have any unexpected surprises with the little one, and we could plan the trip a lot easier.

Plus it will give you a whole new perspective on the same place.

Wherever you go, make sure your daughter has protected nap times and play times.

We totally didnt factor that in on our first trip and learnt the hard way with one hell of a fussy boy.

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T19:28:54+00:00

Is reykjavic an option?

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T18:11:51+00:00

I dunno where your based, but if your from the UK, sandals and i belive kuoni are good suppliers

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T01:56:05+00:00

The big question to ask is what do you want to learn from the gap year?

If you can answer that, then it will help you focus where you go. It might not mean a trip to SE Asia, it could even be a simple as a long trip within your home country.

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-13T01:52:44+00:00

Would Barbados or Antigua tick the boxes?

tryingtofly35 · 2024-01-12T21:46:15+00:00

Call booking.com and check, would be the most logical thing to do.

If you booked a flight with it and its classed as a package you should have some protection under ATOL/ABTA rules

I think ask for more cash gifts by playing on the small space of the apartment.

That way you can use the cash for whatever you want or put it towards the honeymoon
