if the house didnt fall through then it would have been 24 for me and the g/f
but we are in the process of another house but are still waiting for the contracts to be drawn so hopefully 25

24 (just over 2-1/2 years ago) for a 2 bed hoose.
Just sold that with a Ł60K over what we paid for it in 2004.

26 and just bought a 4 bed croft, steading with stables, 2.5 acres of land for...........a good few pennies.

You say house prices are mad with you lot, come to Aberdeen where it's the highest price increase in the whole of the UK (annouced this week)

I was 19 when I bought my first house. Best move I ever made, despite all the critisism I got at the time. Who´s laughing now huh?!

I think I was either 17 or 18, best thing i ever done, now i own a few houses and if I sold them now the amount of money Iv'e made them in just over 10 years is quite frankly scarily high. A lot of people are saying house prices are going to crash, that won't happen in the next 5 years so first time buyers are going to be suffering and more people are going to be renting.
