Re: High Interest Savings Account Opened in UK

Nonsense. We have kept our current account with the Nationwide and we could certainly also have kept our savings accounts (we emptied them to buy a house and foolishly closed them).
We notified the...

Re: High Interest Savings Account Opened in UK

The OP hasn’t left the UK yet so they’re still able to open UK accounts as a UK resident.

Re: Experience/advice moving back to UK

Hi Durham Lad

Re: Experience/advice moving back to UK

Don’t know if it’s of interest to anyone but once you have a UK current account, even if you’re living abroad you can open savings accounts with NS&I. They’ve just released new 3-year savings bonds...

Re: Miss the UK. Need advice on moving back.

As you probably already know, Israeli citizens don’t even need a tourist visa to visit the UK. And you can stay up to 180 days.
So there’s nothing to stop you going there, other than possibly lack...

You sound very well organised DMU and I can think of no useful additions to your list. So it just remains to wish you all the best with the move. Like Tweedpipe, I’m curious which region you’re...

Re: feeling the stress getting ready to move back to the UK ( Scotland)

Long-term furnished rentals do exist but, as you’ve already seen, they tend to be few and far between.
So you’ll probably need an Airbnb for about 3 months until your furniture arrives and...

Re: CGS/CRDS when only one spouse with Sécu
