'Immediate'. Had you put an offer in on a house when you started this thread you could have moved by now and have your own space...tiger135 said:i am not interested in whether its a good time to buy i just need to move out in one shape or form.
i will buy in the next year or two for sure.
my problem is immediate, to move out in a matter of weeks.YNWA
Target: Mortgage free by 58.0 -
i could have but like i said i havent seen anywhere id like to commit to and buy in the last few months. i know something will come up but it could be 6 months, a year, i dont know.
in the mean time i want a temporary stop gap to buy some time without being longer in my parents house.

Clearly living with your parents is stopping you from moving forward with your life. Find somewhere to rent as that'll get you out of the immediate predicament and give you the mental capacity to make decisions needed to buy a property.5

Are you being persistent enough with letting agencies, ie contacting them daily for any new lets in BEFORE they are advertised?tiger135 said:i am looking, yet another one by chancellors advertised but when enquired about it its already been let. im sure they leave the listings online to generate calls.0 -
I rarely browse these forums these days but I'm in disbelief that this individual is still lurking around trying to put people off buying houses 😂MobileSaver said:Sarah1Mitty2 said:
Not sure that is very likely to be honest, plenty of people with mortgage debt end up being carers for parents, so I don`t see the relevance of rushing into a purchase just now, at one of the worst times to buy in probably 20 Years?YoungBlueEyes said:Honestly OP you've dithered for so long now that it's all too much, you've built it up too far in your head so that no option seems safe enough. No option is safe, you just have to pick the one you're most comfortable with and crack on with your life. You'll still be living with parents when you're 50 at this rate and ended up as their carer. Then what will you do? I bet you'll have an even bigger bunch of money in the bank but house prices might have gone through the roof and you'll be no nearer getting one. Time to sh*t or get off the pot.You're hilarious!
In 2014 you said on these forums "buying in 2011 was probably the worst mistake you are ever going to make", house prices are up 58% since then...In 2018 you again said "worst possible market to be throwing money at property", prices are up 22% since then...In 2020 you said "It is the worst time in a long time to be buying property", prices are up 12% since then...The facts speak for themselves, you have been completely and utterly wrong every single time you have claimed it is the "worst time to buy".
Seriously, what gives?
Crashy/Sarah - have you ever been to see a therapist to get help with this bizarre obsession of yours? If not - why not?
You're like a bluebottle at a BBQ! Go away!3 -
You might find the item on the BBC news today interesting, it was on at lunchtime but will probably be repeated later or be found online, re rent as a percentage of income, and the extra pressures of trying to find a rental before it's snapped up.tiger135 said:i am looking, yet another one by chancellors advertised but when enquired about it its already been let. im sure they leave the listings online to generate calls.1 -
BBC News - Rent: 'We've got £1,750 a month and can't find anywhere'1

this is the problem, im in a good buying position but i dont want to wait so much longer.
so in theory renting would work, but i look at renting and find massive demand, short supply and high prices. being single makes it worse.
i am competing with higher earners and couples. my deposit/savings means nothing in the rental market.
only other possibities i can see are spareroom and airbnb but they also have compromises; various air bnbs are booked up for weekends so you cant find a long stay.

May I ask - have you arranged / done any viewings as a potential buyer?1
