On the housing ladder and i cant be more depressed

nicos42

Peer pressure, society pressure is the thing to do.... i just bought my first home a mid terrace character property in sunny Farnborough walking distance to train station and with a big drive. Yet i feel like i m crumbling with depression. I m 44! First time buyer. I paid 270 k for a piece of rubish! Electrical wires dangerously layed and i paid an electrical surveyoir and he did not pointed out.
Electric meter in a cupboard that i ll smash my head in every time i walk in with very awful cableing, windows musting with dirt and mould. A big gas pipe hidden in a kitchen cupboard. And i signed my life to this. Estate agent mad sure i had no chance to investigate. So i might as well jump of a bridge in the thames.i bought the house for 270 maximum will get for it will be 281 and with roof work and other work it will cost me 20 k to put right and i paid 800 for a surveyoir for what?! And 300 for electrical surveyoyouf who didnt say how bad electrical work is.
I m so down is unbelievable:((

And i was renting a beautiful place half price of mortgage

BUT it's your home and you can do what you want with it, and you have security (as long as you pay the mortgage) which you don't have with private rented AND hopefully it'll rise in value over time AND once you've got it habitable you can take in a lodger (if you have a spare room) to help with the mortgage ...

In years to come you'll look back and laugh wryly.

Is this a real post?
Or just another lame attempt by the lazy and bitter HPC.com crowd to accelerate an event that is never going to happen, they will try anything :rotfl:

Why would anyone want to rent over owing if they had a genuine choice. There is not one of my tenants I would ever want to drink with or socialise in any way.
They are looked down by all in society as non achievers and only the most very desperate women would ever go near them. The freedom of owning along with being able to hold your head up high in society, not to mention the huge pot of cash you will have at the end of it.

Renties often have shocking B.O. too, I have noticed. When I rented I smelt, but as soon as I bought, immediately the stench of Billy Ogden dissipated.

Fail: 1/10 (and the one was only for sympathy for being such a sissy).

You appear to be contradicting yourself.

I realise olde houses are high maintenance and will budget for it. But damp is major and when is sorted it doesn't need to be a future issue. I know soon after I buy I m replacing electrics, boiler etc but I expect that. But I don't want to pay for new flooring due to poor maintained of vendor

Good old fake news :rotfl:

These HPC guys tour all the blogs, comments boards and property websites spewing out this garbage, yet you just try and challenge them on their own sad cult website and see what happens.

They are too cowardly to show their faces in public and allow people to challenge them

Assuming Farnborough, GU14 then I'm just around the corner from you.

Invite me round for a cup of tea and a jaffa cake. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think, but committing to a £270k mortgage can feel like a big step.

Garbage . All that it means is you'll pay for your own care home , whilst all the relatives who never visited you , hope you pop off whilst there is still some money in the pot.

Not everyone will need to go to a care home, and even if they do, wouldn't you rather have choice and pay for a nice comfortable more luxurious care home, rather than 'roughing it'?
