Worried First Time Buyer - In Too Deep?

sassybooboos

dont want to put a downer on your house buy but it sounds like you really can't afford to buy it and live.

speaking from experience i am just about to complete on my sale due to the fact i stretched myself too far and have now had to sell my dream home because i would have lost it in another 3 months as just can't afford it.

the amount of stress this has caused me has made me ill and nearly cost me my marriage.

i really would reconsider if you think you won't be able to afford much else than mortgage etc and have to sit in rather than have a social life.

a house isn't no good to you if your so skint you can't enjoy life

I sort of disagree in a way, when we bought both our houses, especially this one we are in now, we spent every penny we had to buy it, then for two years we had no money because we were doing it up and I mean no money, we scrimped and scraped because thats what we wanted to do. Now we have a lovely family home that most people our age on our income wouldn't have.
When we bought ours (five and a half years ago) there was talk of a possible HPC, but it didn't worry me, I knew we would be here a long time.
However I wouldn't do it now, prices are too inflated and the chance of a big drop too great. Timing, its all timing.... and hindsight of course
