I could buy this with my savings - it would use them all, but I can't see my OH wanting half of it!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

.........now, if I was still the old, silly with money keren29, I would be half tempted to buy one of these with some of my money and rent it out.....there are about half a dozen going under the hammer......

Bedroom
Double bedroom with window formation to front.

what the bloody hell does that mean? Has someone drawn a window on a bedroom wall or something to make it feel more 'homely'?

Wow that's lovely Gemmz! I love modern flats...

They are so nice inside too, there's another complex about two minutes further down the road and a friend of mine has one there. She's my age and already has a mortgage, and a baby. I really feel like I've spent too long faffing around

Seriously though, I'm still ummming and ahhhhing over buying a house right now. The house we rent is ok, a bit small and tatty but it suits me. And ok, we pay a grand a month off of the landlady's mortgage but aren't too worried about security, she's just tied herself into a 3 yr discounted btl and has no plans to sell, she doesn't care what we do in terms of decorating etc, and we pretty much leave each other alone. I get on really well with her and it's a good arrangement.

on the other hand, the house is a bit small for us, it's only 3 bed and we could do with 4. I love that this place is a town house on 3 floors, the ground floor being just office and utility room with the garage so that's our seperate work/mse area. The problem is I'm not sure the moneysaver in me is very good at renting. The carpets in this place are old and shabby and daily I walk around thinking if this place were mine I'd rip this out, knock this down, build this and that. I'd love to rip out the flooring and lay hardwood which is what I'd do, but obviously not in a rental. But a lot of this is want not need.

I do know we can afford the house easily. We are lucky that we have a great income and if we stopped flippin flitting over to the states every 5 minutes we could pay it off well before the mortgage would end. But then, getting a mortgage won't be cheap, the early days of the business ruined my credit record and ok, it's all paid off but I look like a dodgy bet on paper with what was 65k of defaults.

So, I'm torn. I could stay here and carry on saving hopefully one day buy a house cash with no need for a mortgage but paying rent in the meantime. or I could jump in now, take the hit on the interest rate until we look more prime and overpay every month instead of saving knocking the term down as we go.

I really don't know what to do and usually when that happens I do nothing until it all becomes a little clearer.

Would your landlady sell on to you Toto?
