When sharing the expenses 50/50, isn't 50/50.

Is your area so outstandingly fabulously desirable that it's better to live with your Dad and two lodgers in an arrangement you dislike, than to have your own place somewhere you can afford to buy using your third of the money from selling the house?

Heh, truthfully the only reason I Stay here is because my mum lives 2 minutes up the road by car.
I would love to move out and get a place up north personally, it's something to consider for sure
I'm going to try the remortgage route next April and if that doesn't work, then I'll ask my dad to sell.

I would move house. Who wants to be living with their dad and lodgers!! Move out, get own place with own lodgers.

How long are you planning to live in a bedsit, putting your life on hold until your father dies? High price to pay for a *possible* inheritance.

I have heard of kids sponging off their parents, but never parents sponging off their kids. My dad was tight as a****oles and was a nightmare when an appliance broke down. He acted as though buying a new washing machine was a luxury item, my poor mum........the sad thing was he had plenty of money but was just a miser. I left home pretty sharpish and never regretted it. I do not know how you can stick it - get out now!

Do you do your tax return as a partnership or as individual people ?


A decent quality washer should be in the region of £300 max (Hotpoint Aquarius is £280 at currys)so £150 each and by the time you offset that against tax you are not far off the figure you say your father is willing to pay.


if you want to spend £800 on an overpriced that's your choice

Yeah, totally agree. Even 8KG LG Titan is £349 at Currys and Sammy 9Kg Ecobubbles can be had for circa £400. Absolutely no reason to be spending £800 for a washing machine.

No I completely agree about buying a normal priced machine, at the time I was buying items for this house as a home, rather than a business, I wanted the best, to make it feel more homely, but at the end of the day it's just not worth it.

I'm probably going to buy the Samsung Ecobubble one at £419 from appliancesdirect, as it has the 9kg drum and 5 year warranty.
