Youtube hearted comments of Terry Jago (@terryj50).

I bought after 3 years of living in the uk. I had to have 10% deposit around 35k had to pay 1500 for lawyer had to pay 999 for the morg and did a 2 year morg so had to pay 999 then did a 5 year morg. My house was 345k I don’t find the weather too bad here but I came from Singapore where it was hot all the time. So nice to have hot and cold. Don’t find it too expensive compared to Singapore. We go to Japan every 1 to 2 years as that’s where we’re from. I would say if you are going to move to the uk make sure you are a skilled worker, work in banking, finance, law, dr. Anything else not worth it. I don’t think the uk is that bad but I have lived in countries that I had a much worse life. I earn a good salary here too. There is a lot of crime in the uk but you don’t see it that much unless you are into drugs or something. I read about it but never seen it and I work in London. Go on the train to London and don’t see any issues. Other than the news. I think many British people blame everyone for their issues and that’s why they are doing bad. Japan has little to no benefits, people work. In Japan people starve to death if they don’t work. In the uk people on benefits are large. In Japan if you can’t pay your rent your homeless in the uk there are housing benefits for eu people and British people and asylum seekers. If your on a visa yep it could be a struggle but these days you cannot be on minimum wage on a visa. I think you need to earn 37k now to get a visa.

@ I am on well over 80k as I said I would not move to the uk unless your in law, computing, finance and accounting. The cost of living is ok in the uk as I came from Singapore. Where it’s far more expensive. The only thing I find expensive in the uk is train fares

Yes you cannot take in 1.2 million people a year and expect to build these homes. When will people wake up. Infrastructure, homes, replacement of hospitals cannot happen with migration on there levels.
