Bought my first place today!
Just had a call to say my offer has been accepted on my first place, a nice big Flat in Bournemouth!
Well pleased with myself, nearly spunked the money on a S2 but so glad I didn't!
I'm only 22 and now a home owner, god i'm proud of myself!

Good man - nothing like your own place although I'm sure my cat thinks he owns mine.................little bastard (love him really )
You need a nice RS now - mines still at m&d's as told them if I had to take my car (no garage here) then I wasn't moving !!! The car stayed

Cheers Tony, appreciate that! Sounds like money well spent, and best of luck with the baby, i'd like a little boy but gotta find the right bird!
House will do for now, thankfully it's fully decorated and doesn't need alot of work!

Got my first house when i was 21
3 bedroom link detached.
Cost 60k in 1992, 20k deposit + 40k mortgage.
Now got a 4 bed detached house with a double garage and a 100k mortgage.
Best thing i done when i was younger, saving that money rather than blowing it all on cars
Would not have the house i have not got now.
Now i blow money on cars, and they are cheaper to insure because im now older
Good luck mate best thing you could have done
