    Hope numpty buyer falls in line. Was looking for your email address to email you but couldn't find :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • We've moved 😊

    I cannot tell you how happy we are.

    Truly the right decision.

    Numpty buyer has a £450k mortgage - I think that's fair given the levels of total ineptitude we have experienced.

    Happy days indeed.

    Hope the hounds and cats are settling well too :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
