RS, I’m pleased you’re going to be able to buy something. I guess you need to look at what will make you happiest. The ideal house with a bit less money may be worth it, would you wish you could move if you bought somewhere cheaper?

Red Squirrel 23 Mar 6:38pm, 23 Mar 2024 23,570 posts	0 Red Squirrel Sorry to hear that leaguefreak. I sold my parents bungalow last year as executor. There wasn’t any interest at all for about a month then a couple viewed it and I took a lower offer (10K reduction). People think about things sometimes, get their house in order and then hopefully will look at yours.

The ideal house with a bit less money may be worth it, would you wish you could move if you bought somewhere cheaper? Yes, you’re right - I’ve always wanted to be on terra firma with a garden and at least one spare room for guest/s. I haven’t got big earning potential, but I am used to living frugally when I need to. There’ll be lots of free things on my doorstep and that’s the point of living there. Thanks Meglet

Red Squirrel 3 Apr 2:57pm, 3 Apr 2024 23,629 posts	0 Red Squirrel I viewed a cottage today, but knew it was unlikely to be a goer. I return to Bristol on Saturday, so will continue to keep an eye on Rightmove. At least I know what I’d like and how far I’d compromise. I’m fixed on one area mainly, but would also look at a couple of other areas if something came up.

JamieKai chameleon 5 Apr 8:35pm, 5 Apr 2024 18,532 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon Took a trip to Nationwide today to book a consultation about what they might be able to lend me to get on the slippery ladder. Surprised that they no longer do this in branch. Still feels like a distant dream despite having a healthy deposit - single, average wage, but need a place for me and my housemate that will be accessible enough for him. And at my age, I need wherever I move to be good enough to be my forever home. It's a rough market for those not already on the ladder.
