How easy is it to liquidate though?

Depends.

Buying a property to reside in is obviously the best option, all other things being equal. However, generally one will want to stay in a purchased property at least as long as it will take for the property to appreciate enough in value to cancel out the cost of buying transactions, the owed interest and so forth. For instance, the lower the deposit one pays, the more likely it is that one might be in negative equity in the early years of a mortgage.

Ideally, most people will want to at least break even, i.e. get back all the costs associated with the property purchase and their deposit if they have to sell in a hurry. How long it will take to achieve breakeven depends on the property value, location and if there were any other costs such as renovations, etc. Many estate agents use 5 years as a rough guide. There may be a mortgage tie-in period during which you cant sell, unless you have to pay a penalty. Given the new immigration realities (when these are finally crystallised and made known by the government/Home Office), people will of course reasonably assess their chances to get a 10-year ILR as opposed to the planned-for 5 year one (their current employer and its willingness to sponsor, the jobs market, their roles, their current visa lengths, how easy sponsorship is to get for their role, etc.) and act accordingly.

I’m keeping well. Many thanks.

LOL @ defected from Labour to LibDems.

I will not be surprised.

Going through the threads here, I wonder. Some people (who were only able to β€˜finally’ japa from nigeria because of β€˜BorisWave’) became hugely critical of the Tories. Calling the Tories anti-immigration and racist etc… I wonder if they still feel the same with 2-tier Kier at the wheels.

Is it not same Torries led by kemi that’s proposing 15 years for ilr? πŸ˜‚ abeg fear God na

Do you recall 2-tier Kier’s β€˜Youth Mobility’ visa scheme? Where youngsters from EUROPE will come to the UK?

I think those will fill the healthcare vacancies.
I was also thinking about the new UK-India deal. Care homes set up in India, and then transferring their staff to the UK to work for 2 years - No NI paid.

For me, the key take away is that relocation/Japa should be seen as a means to an end and never an end in itself. I'll say Nigerians (especially those without settled status) in the UK should be interested in politics back home, who rules, who wins elections etc because there's indeed no place like home. I'll say Nigerians in the UK should save save and save/invest for the rainy day, keep developing yourselves and earning transferrable skills/degrees, live a modest life and approach mortgages with caution. No place like home.
.

I agree with all you said asides that approach mortgage with caution. Regardless of what happens, I can always sell/rent my house if I have to go back home or activate Japa 2.0. In the mean time I would be staying in a property that elevates my quality of life while paying less in mortgage than I would have in rent. Despite what comes up, I am happy we got on the property ladder 12 months ago , value has gone up by 35k. Each to his own sha. Make everybody do wetin work for am.

Good day everyone,

I want to depart Nigeria on the 26th because I will be using a connecting flight by Qatar airways which arrives Gatwick on the 27th but my entry date is 27th to the UK.

I want to know if I would have any issues boarding on that 26th?
