How do you tweak it to support younger people…. Getting on the ladder is a real nightmare prospect for my kids…

Cool…. I have to have blue rewards at £5 a month and have £800 in the current account (currently £0!)

Will get it set up

Really helpful - thank you very much

I do have a Barclays current account…. Came with the mortgage I have with them!

Save up to £30k and then lump off the mortgage

Which would be less than the delta between the mortgage interest and the incremental savings interest I’d assume?




Ah…. Makes sense, I’d need an interim account before placing into a savings...

Ah…. I see you can’t simply top up? I thought the only limitation was withdrawal?

Great…. Had never really considered it…. That is what I shall do then!

So, if I’m on a 3.49% deal any overpayments should really go into something like this correct?

This is the sad fact…. People will have extended mortgages to a place they felt they could afford at the time….

Any contract warns that rates can go up or down…. If you’re renewing within the...

I’ve been a one man sales machine for them since…. The quality is great…. We didn’t need a ridiculous amount of units as we have a nice sized pantry

All that was less than £3k, knowing what you...

What can tell you? I like a big pool…!

Swimming up and down in the Leicester suburbs in my triple Olympic pool is just how I roll!

Ps…. You may have missed my lol/ sarcasm emoji!

Thank you…. I quite enjoyed it (well most of it)…. and have an interest in, but possibly not a flair for, design…. Layering textures and keeping things natural…. Although not as practical I prefer...

Sorry - I can’t relate to any of that…. My pool is ~1200m2. 😆

Sounds like you get nice value for money in Spain…

I’m really really careful with how I spent a lot of money our house…. I got a...

Heh…. I’ve had palpitations reading this thread too…. But, we all need somewhere to live!

Am I happy about parting with more money to pay my mortgage which has just come up for renewal? No

Am...

You’re not having building work other than the two doors then?

A new bathroom - you can get done for ~£3-4k as the cost is labour…. Bathroom materials are still relatively cheap

My kitchen fit...

With the price or raw materials? And the cost of borrowing to fund it?

Unless you have the cash ready to go, I think people will be thinking twice about big works

I could be wrong!

I’m rooting for you Ryan…. I think Passenger might be too!!

Good for Bojo…. Everyone feels wealthier and that breeds goodwill to the current administration

A tough one in reality…. Doesn’t seem particularly fair when searches aren’t coming back…

It would be reasonable to extend for anyone who applied for searches before Jan 1 21 up to mid year...

Ta…. Need to get an architect, planning permission and a builder lined up first!



Because they didn’t bring a 7.5 ton they wanted to charge me for going back for the garden and garage stuff…....

Well…. We’re in

Went as well as it could have done yesterday

Removal men attempted to rip me off, but other than that it was relatively pain free!

And we are now in an area that has...

That’s fantastic…. We couldn’t quite get over the line before Christmas and were advised not to exchange and complete on different days because of COVID / Brexit…

All set for the 14th Jan…....

That’s me buggered then…. I’m. Moving fron the sticks back to the City!

Moving against the flow…. Delighted with what we’ve got though and can’t wait to move!

Yeah - really not far - about a mile and half up the road - we are about 10 mins stroll from Allandale Road and 15 mins from Queens Rd/ Clarendon Park...

good luck with your potential move! and...

Yep - the big multiplex - was not an Odeon - it was a view cinema i think

It is South Knighton/ Stoneygate - if you know where the race course is, turn left towards town at the roundabout and head...

Ask an estate agent - if yours is in much better shape that can easily add 10-15% - all depends on how much better it is of course!




Well - two asking price offers knocked back and then this...
