Immigrating to the UK

[Sinbad]

A discount from R10/kWh seems a bit like the Takealot "sale".

At least prices come down when costs do, unlike in SA

It’s one of the joys of living in a country where power company monopolies are illegal.

Can’t wait to get there in about two weeks time. Hopefully still good weather for July.

The heatwave hasn’t hit yet. You’ll know you’re a true Brit once you start wishing for winter to hurry up.

I arrived during a heatwave last year around 40 degrees.

Winter can GTFO.

Took the kid to the beach today and we built some rather impressive castles.

A true Brit relishes every second of summer.

If it wanted to slum it for sand I’d go to Margate.

Or even Portsmouth.

Or even Portsmouth.

The only slum in Portsmouth is the whole of Southampton

Portsmouth is the sort of place you go when you wake up late and realise all the good places will probably be full.

Yoh judgy people. Slumming it on shitty beaches.

Quick question:

Is it possible for someone who isn’t staying in the UK to build up a credit score / history in some way?

I don’t have a UK bank account. But my wife does. I’m wanting to build up a credit score.m/ rating.

 

[gregmcc]

I don't think so. It's normally linked to your physical address.

Is it possible to list a family’s place as my physical address (if they give us permission etc) ?

Or do I really need to be in the county?

Tricky because your identity is pretty much linked to your postal address.
As soon as you have an address, register on the voters roll, open a savings loqbox, get a cellphone contract, register on the three credit ratings apps (clearscore, credit karma and experian) to monitor your progress, see suggestions etc.

Does the address have to be somewhere I am renting or can I use a family address?
