There is a currently issue with my landlord. We have been renting this property since 2018 and paying a relatively decent priced rent for a 3 bedroom house in our area, in England.
Recently the landlord increased the rent by £400. Initially, he increased it by £600 but after a chat with him he decided to only increase it by £400.
Have in mind this property hasn’t had any reforms or any upgrades since we moved in.

EDIT: He did a section 13 for the £600 increase but then we had a meeting talking about it and agreed on £400.

The increase is due to him wanting to sell the house so I enquired about the price of the house which he told us it would be £325k which seems excessive for the area and the state of the property.
The house is in need of upgrading. I enquired how much I could get from the bank and I definitely can’t afford the price of the house (just qualified had a nurse with 3 kids).
I informed the landlord I couldn’t afford the property and he told me that there would be a further increase in rent in January.
I just needed advice, I’m looking for a cheaper house to buy now because I feel the landlord has been “sketchy”. When I asked for a new contract reflecting the price increase he was like who I had been talking to because this issue is between both of us.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I need advice on this in the last 7ish months I have had an engine warning light 3 times the first time it was clear then came back within a week it showed a P0420 then I took it to an independent mechanic to get it sorted for a second time and it came back 3 months later (I didn’t drive for most of the time).

It came back last week and I took it to the mechanics today and was told that I needed a new catalytic converter and the rest of the exhaust and I have been quoted £667.50.

I don’t know if this price is fair or not I’m not sure what to think. I got this car about 10 months ago it’s a Peugeot 208 with less than 60k miles.
Any advice and suggestions are appreciated.

I needed some advice, so I just finished my 3rd year of MPharm I will be taking a year out from my studies and I applied for this job. So I’m committed to working with them long term but I have a pre-booked holiday for 3 weeks in July (1st-22nd) how do I bring this up without making myself a “worse” candidate.

Also is there any advice on the interview? I don’t really know what to expect. Also will they ask me why I’m taking a year out?
