3 minute Speed Dating –Can it Work?

People use speed dating for a variety of reasons, whether it is to make new friends or find people you have things in common with, possible romance, or a night of passion you are after, the decision to go on a speed dating event can bring all kinds of new experiences.

Unless you have been on a speed date before you might be thinking it’s impossible to know if you like someone with only 3 minutes to talk, and it’s a good point to make. 3 minutes goes by very fast so it’s advised you have set questions ready in preparation so no time is wasted by awkward silences as you rack your brain trying to think of what to ask.

Ask thousands of people worldwide and they’ll tell you that speed dating can, and does, work. There are hundreds of stories about how they met their true love, made loads of new friends, and found themselves at the centre of a social group that transformed their life. Even if you don’t meet someone special think of all the fun and great nights out you will have – if you’re not speed dating then what are you doing? The alternatives are watching TV alone, cleaning the house and taking the dog for a walk!

The advantages of choosing speed dating over other types of dates is that it is all organized for you, all you have to do is pay the registration fee or booking fee for the particular event you want to attend and turn up on the night. Also it’s safe if you are a woman on her own and, unlike meeting a date by yourself, you are in a safe environment where you can be at ease. Although everyone might be a stranger the events are watched over by the organisers and you never have to be alone during the evening.

Generally we notice people who we find physically attractive, this can be difficult if you go on a blind date or contact someone via the personal columns in the newspapers or online as you haven’t seen what that person looks like until you go on the actual date! Speed dating in Nottingham gives you the chance to meet lots of potential dates and you know within the first few minutes whether you like the look of someone or not, so 3 minutes is sufficient time! If you have a busy lifestyle then there is no time wasted on evenings spent with someone you have just met but realized within the first 10 minutes was going nowhere, or making small talk with someone you are not attracted to in the least.

A speed dating evening is a little like an interview, think of it as a way to weed out anyone you dislike or have no connection with. This leaves you with a few possibilities and you can then take it from there. As the time you have together is so short then it’s best to come prepared, this means have selected questions ready to ask. They don’t have to be too formal or personal either, make them lighthearted but if you really want to know if the person opposite just wants sex or is interested in a lasting relationship then ask away! People at these events are much more direct than general, remember though that they will have questions to ask you too so consider what these may be and have your answers ready.

Speed dating events can be organized in various locations and mostly they are private, the last thing you want is to be overlooked by a busy bar where anyone can watch as you move from table to table and ‘interview’ your partner, that’s really going to put you off. You don’t want people gawking so check the event before you book.

After each introduction, members mark on their scorecard whether or not they would be keen to have a real date with the other person. How the game ends depends on how the event has been organized, typically the organizers check the scorecards and match up which partners are commonly attracted to each other. Some organizers only give the women the men’s phone number whilst others give either sex the interested party’s number to be followed up on for a date.

Generally events are fun and people relax as the evening goes on, once the dating part is over you can spend time in the bar getting to know people better if that’s what you wish. If you don’t meet anyone you are interested in at your chosen event then there’s no need to panic – there are plenty more in your local area. The more speed dating nottingham events you attend the more confident you will become and confidence leads to attention.

How Does Rent to Buy Work?

The Rent to Buy in Nottingham system is very simple. Once you have found a property you love, you get to make all the important decision about how to pay it off.

Rather than having to pay a big deposit and take out a mortgage straight away, you pay a small Option Fee (your getting started money) to move in, and then pay installments each month on top of your rent. We use the initial Option Fee, the installments, plus a Special Bonus contribution towards your actual purchase mortgage deposit at the end of the scheme. This is how it works…

Register your details with Rent to buy in Nottingham using the form on the right.
Once we have spoken with you and confirmed some details, we’ll find properties that match your criteria for you to inspect.
When you find a property that you like, then you confirm you would like to enter into a Purchase Option Agreement. We agree with you what time period you would like to take the option over (usually 3-5 years) and confirm the Option Fee (getting started) amount, usually 3-5% of purchase price. Together we set the monthly rental and installment payments, that will add up towards your final deposit.
The relevant option paperwork is drawn up by Solicitors along with an Assured Tenancy Agreement for the duration of the option.
You move in and are free to enhance and add value to property during the period as any traditional homeowner would.
At the end of this period you purchase the property at the previously agreed price and any equity the property has gained is all yours!
As a Tenant Buyer you are not obligated to purchase the home at the end of your option/rental period.
The Seller is required to sell the Property to the Tenant Buyer, should the Tenant Buyer choose to exercise the right to buy during the option period

How long does it take?

Once all the paperwork is signed we try to arrange a time-scale that suits you.  Typically we aim for 4 – 6 weeks, enough time to give notice to your current landlord, arrange things for your move have the utilities connected and be relaxed and organized as you move into your new home.

How much money do I need to start?

You will need some getting started money – you have to pay an option fee up front, normally 3-5% of the agreed purchase price.  This fee comes off the final purchase price at the end of the term, or at any point you exercise your option to buy. You will also need 1 month’s rent payment, including the installment amount and will need to stay 1 month in advance for the term. The ongoing installments and any additional payments you may choose to make will reduce the final purchase price or form part of your deposit when you choose to exercise your Rent to Buy in Nottingham Option in future years.

What happens at the end of the term?

At the end of the option period you have a choice.

You can decide to exercise your option to purchase the property
If you choose to do this, you purchase the property at the price you agreed at the beginning, your Option Fee and monthly Installment Payments will form part or all of your final deposit, you will also retain any additional equity the property has accumulated during the option period, should you choose to purchase
Remember you always have the right, but not the obligation to purchase so you’re always in control

I would consider against moving to Hucknall. North Nottinghamshire places tend to be the roughest in the county.

There are places just outside Hucknall that are okay, Papplewick and Linby spring to mind.

Inevitably it’s your own choice and it’s where you start up home, Hucknall is an area with nice crime, but hopefully you can avoid this.

Are there any rough area in hucknall, Nottingham?

There are no jobs! No-one is volentarily leaving there jobs because of the recession, and if people are being sacked, no one is being employed to replace them because business is slow.

Maybe you could sell a bit of weed to your friends (if you do it)? I download and sell dvd’s of the latest films to my friends and neighbours (for two pounds each which makes me about eighty quid a week). I know criminal activity isnt the best thing in the world, but at least it’ll give you a bit extra cash.

Me and my partner plan to go and live in New Zealand for 2 years and rent our house out. Can anyone recommend a good letting agency in Nottingham/Derby area? Please don’t reply if you work for a letting agency!

What kind of charges do the make?
Do they do a deal where they can guarantee you tenants so we don’t end up having to leave the house empty with no rent coming in?

Thanks

Here in Sleaford(Lincs) there is a company called Northwood(used to be Bairstow Eves) who actually rent your home from you direct and then find tenants themselves.They Guarantee the rent(lower than market value)even if you have no tenant in.Sounds like a good deal to me if the rent they offer is satisfactory to yourselves.We called them in for our home and thought it was an excellent scheme.They may have an office in your area and do the same thing there.

Basford is an interesting ethnic area of Nottingham, but not pretty. It depends what you want, for instance – Wollaton, West Bridgford, Beeston and Bramcote are middle class. There are a lot of “City living apartments – the best of which are in the very swish Lace Market area.
