    Good luck!

    So comforting to see someone using the save to buy product successfully.

    Thanks! It's been seamless so far, very pleased it's all worked out so smoothly. I've ordered carpets and bought contents insurance this weekend, and my blinds for the bedroom turned up!

    35 year mortgage..You are welcome to it..I thought 25 years was bad enough for being a wage slave.
    It 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.
