    When they update the kits though and a new catalogue comes out you can keep the stuff though, or sell it off cheap

    I've just emailed my friend who lives in Glasgow to ask how rough Port Glasgow is - those flats are too cheap to be true - maybe I'll become a long distance landlady!!


    Sar.........I'd love to have had faffing result in a child :(


    I don't want to offend anyone living in the area but NO!!!! Don't do it. tis rough, there are nice parts but I'm guessing that at that price they aren't in it.

    I've just done some reading skint-spice and it seems it is an area which has its fair share of problems. It seems a shame as the countryside looks lovely across the river. The Robert St ones are part of a big initiative and the area has really been cleaned up/improved. It seems lots of the tenements have been bulldozed but 13k still seems cheap!!

    I guess though it would be getting someone to live there first!

    Lol. At least you have an adult life though, I live like a small child :rolleyes: Who knows when I can have my own place.
    Still debating whether to invest in converting the loft to a flat

    But you're young, you can get working visas to Oz (unlike us oldies) no mortgage to burden you you can choose to live in exciting places, start a new career - being a young mum in new build flat like your mate might well not be all it's cracked up to be.....

    it wouldn't be so cheap if you bought it and immediately got landed with a huge bill for a tenth share on the roof or something though and they look a bit delapidated!
