I bought at 18 for 71.5k in Stanmore with brother - 2 bed end of terrace sold that moved to 3 bed semi Dunstable now going to sell this house and buy another house and possibly a flat off plan.

I wish we'd bought the 3bed house that we looked at instead of the 2 bed as looking at the prices they've gone up to would have made a shit load more

cheers

What does everyone think of the current house market situation, anyone think it will go down, stabilise or even crash like in 89/90?

Surely it can't go up forever otherwise 85% of England won't be able to get a place or even afford rent. But then there are those you think it will continue to rise. Bit of a gamble really as the best price rise people have already taken advantage (1997-now) of but if it goes down then you're left with negative equity and stuck in a shit hole for life.

It's Czech Mate

ello mate yep gonna stay in Dunstable was gonna move out of the area but been offered a new unit across the yard where I am now for a lot cheaper when I gave my notice in at the current one. So gonna stay localish, was looking at a place in Frenches ave but they want too much money for what it is.

saw a nice place in Houghten regis last night but that was STC this morning to a friend of a friend was overpriced for the area too

we're gonna get our place on the market in 2/3 weeks hopefully so will have to see what comes up.

Your right long time no see but then again you haven't got a RST anymore (i've seen the new owner more than once for various bits though )you'll have to pop in next time your passing the house and I'll introduce you to Kane.

Didn't buy my first place until I was 31, sold that and moved into my second property feb 05, I have earned 80k in 4 years, should have bought my first house 10 years ago when I was 25, instead I was wasting money on cars and popping disco biscuits like they had gone outta fashion, can't cry over spilt milk as they say

Bought my first house 8 months ago when i was 21. Best thing i ever did, potentially made over 20k on 8 months.

Bought in 2002 (was 22 at the time) with my brother. Sold that after a year with a huge profit and paid off debts. Bought another cheapie and done that up, sale is going through at the mo, hopefully it will be done soon.

Why does the buying/selling process take so long???
