Hi, I've decided to leave my H and need a lot of practical help from you ladies as I have no r/l friends. My bro (lives right across on the other side of the globe) is the only one who knows so far. Despite being in my mid-30s I have always been dependant on H to handle all money and practical matters of home, so feel very scared venturing out on my own, as I feel very ignorant.
- I've just now opened my own bank account with FD
- Looking for a house in n/w London to rent initially. What do I need to cover when speaking to letting agent?
- I am seeing 'tenure: long term contract' how long is long terms. I would prefer to take one out for 6 months initially. esp seeing the rents now, I would prefer to buy when we settle things.
- How do utilities work with rentals, do they come with utilities or will I need to set them up myself?
- When moving out, what can I take with me from general house things, is there anything I shouldn't touch. (I expect to rent a furnished apt).
- Any good solicitors in north west London? If I can get H to be amicable and agree fair settlement, would you still recommend I use a sol? we have a few investment properties if that makes a difference.
