How depressing - House hunting

Fair play to you for not wanting second best. But you can't have it both ways. Id say stretch yourself as much as possible to get that dream place. You both earn good wages so i think as said before you can buy somewhere pretty big and still live a good life.
You should always strive to have the best. Do you want to bring your kids up in a dump?
Make some sacrifices and knuckle down for a year or two and you'll be fine. Tomorrow may be too late though so get started today.
Good luck
no wonder people are in trouble when the redundancy man comes knocking...
I applaud the op for being sensible and realizing that overstretching can lead to the poor house.
..if only a lot of other people had...there again greed is a selfish actIt is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

For those of us who took the plunge on a crappy property, we deserve all the equity that we have accumulated. I call this skill, as we identified that land is in short supply in the UK, and knew that, long-term, property would be a great investment opportunity regardless of condition.
