Is this buyers remorse?

Feeling a lot better now that things are slowly coming together and it looks more like a home. Next time we move I'll be fully prepared to be an emotional wreck!
Does the fact that you will be paying for your own repairs and washing machine/boiler etc. replacements concern you, or the fact that your monthly rent to the bank goes up if interest rates rise?0 -
No idea what crashy time is saying, but why he feels qualified to comment on a discussion titled "Buyer's remorse" is beyond me.
LKRDN, it may be a couple of months before you feel at home, maybe longer, but you won't look back to the days of renting and losing masses of money!0 -

Until interest rates rise and you lose masses more money as the buyers dry up ( even more than they have already) 0 -

Of course it concerns me. I'd be stupid to think otherwise. The difference is I'm happy to take on that responsibility as opposed to having to ask (beg) a landlord to fulfil their responsibilities.0 -

They'll own something worth £200,000. to £1,000,000 + :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Totally normal, OP! I bought my current place nearly three years ago. I LOVED it on Rightmove, LOVED it when I saw it, LOVED it when I came back to see it, and new it was going to be my nearly-forever home.
On the day before completion (property was empty) the vendor let me have the keys to clean the place. I walked over to my new house, got in and burst into tears. I loved it, but I suddenly realised that everything was going to change! Living in a marginally different part of town, slightly higher mortgage, different walk to the station, no longer living in my beloved flat of eight years... Basically, I'd made a commitment that I couldn't get out of! Not that I wanted to, but it signified a huge change in my life and moving house is one of the most stressful things you'll do.
Once you're in and settled it'll feel different, and it'll feel normal again, but don't underestimate the stress and reaction you might have to change - it's a big thing!
And ENJOY your new home!' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0 -
