scary, this looks like a nice house but how does a couple on £50k combined income ever get to buy a house in these areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My gas is well and truly flabbered!
edit: 2nd house, yip, nice curtainage!
It's the price we pay to live down south. Don't get me started on london prices, we're bargain basement compared to living in a decent area. And, by decent I mean, needing to go out to be mugged rather than waiting in for them to turn up.:A

If you get one then may I come round and visit?

In Stafford you can get a nice 3 bed terrace with rear parking and gas central heating for 115k.
Still waaaaaaaaaaaay over our budget though... :rolleyes:Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

Um.......
so snags, fancy giving us a few million? I have a little deposit, ok so there's the small matter of us both being self employed in the rock solid music industry. Oh and the ever so tiny matter of a credit file that looks like the opening scene of saving private ryan. But I'm great at monopoly :rotfl:
Self employed isn't a problem, as long as you have 3 years certified accounts showing sufficient net profits to support a mortgage of that size.
As for the credit file.......what's a few late payments between friends, eh?? :rotfl:"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -

But very achievable in the long term - last year you were paying in rent and debt repayments the same as that level of mortgage. So if the CAB pans out and Ste keeps being promoted it's a real possibility.0 -
I don't mind the teasing, although I would have preferred the biscuits!
