looks tidy mate, can't believe how theyve gone up in price lately, we bought ours exactly 5 year ago for 118k and thought we'd get it valued last month-now 275k 
.
hard to start on property ladder these days-our first house was a 3 bed detached for 57k in 1996-on that estate there now fetching 180k! god knows what type of house my kids will be able to afford in years to come-wages dont seem to be increasing at same rate as houses.

Dan that house is weel tidy for your first house mate!!!!! It has even got a garage too 
Got a good find there mate.
TrickyDicky aint that the truth on house prices
Dunno how they expect people to get on the ladder, and to do it you have to get up to your neck in debt. Also what makes me sick is when you see 4 bed house in Florida going for £130k with a pool etc

Quickest - If it is empty - 6 weeks, but you have got to have a decent solicitor, so many of them are fcukin useless.
Longest - big chain etc. um, well a long time
We made an offer in July, moved in end of January
But we did have one buyer pull out, didn't tell us about something he was selling to be able to afford ours

Fudgeass,
Get a good conveyancing solicitor.
do you have to pay the stamp duty? thats gonna smart at £1240
plus then theres the solicitors fees, land searches etc
I was lucky, i paid £53k for my 2 bed semi nearly 2 years ago, no stamp duty

interesting topic 
Fair play for getting on the ladder It was only last night that I was thinking to myself, that I want to start getting on the ladder too
Its not easy tho is it
Long commitment and not sure if I want to spen the next 20/30 years in the UK 
Is a morgage worked out on your annual earnings??
again, best of luck with it all... Wouldnt get half that size house for that price down here
