Jamie,

Have you got your house on the market? If not I reckon you should do, and don't sign any missives with Miller until you have got a firm offer on your current home. There are upteen threads about people signing up for new builds and finding they can't complete as they can't sell theirs.

Also consider second hand new builds (if that makes sense) aren't that easy to sell. Especially if the builders are still on site with lots of offers and incentives. Consider if the builder can't sell these houses and they end up selling to a local housing association.

Great advice. I am assuming you are highly educated.

Yes I am extremely highly educated and more intelligent than you can even imagine.

Thats why I feel compelled to point out that my comment that you highlighted wasn't advice, it was a statement pointing out the bl**ding obvious.

Missives, shmissives, don't get bogged down with such trivia - his fiancee's a lawyer - what could possibly go wrong.

Just off for a bit of self-immoluation, Jamie, please let us know how you get on.

Thanks for all the wonderfully helpful reples.

Of course I could lose my fu cking job. It is highly unlikely given that my team are 2 years into a guaranteed 12 year contract.

Wow a 12 year guarantee!! Let's hope the guarantor doesn't die in a fire.

Hmmm do you also have a guarantee not to pi$$ off everyone you work with and so get the sack?

I don't know much about housing, I come on here to learn.

However, if you are planning a family, please remember that having children can have a very negative impact on a woman's promotion prospects. Even female lawyers will find that very plausible and reasonable excuses are given for lack of promotion. That is, if she manages to keep her job and is not completely overwhelmed by child care costs. Plus all the other costs associated iwth children.

Also if your neighbour's house has just been sold for £5k more than you paid for yours, please remember that you can pay more than that in moving costs, stamp duty, getting the house set up, surveys... Also house prices are dropping quite rapidly in some places, locally some houses have been on rightmove less than a month before dropping £5k in asking price. How quickly could you sell your house?

I don't really have an axe to grind, but I hope that the above is of use to you in making your decision.

There's always someone who comes on here, whose glass is always half empty, and see only potential pitfalls.

Besides that flat is in Scotland where they could be affected by the financial services slump or the drop in the oil price.

Oh, hang on.................
