Buy a House

I know what I’m allowed to borrow. Have been to see a few houses, and am just about ready to start the process. I think I may have found the house I’m going to buy!
Some people would probably say it’s a bad time to buy? But for every month sooner I have a mortgage is a month I’m not paying rent.

I went to see a mortgage advisor, and it’s all good news!
I always thought you had to have been in a job for a year before they’d even consider you for a mortgage, but all they wanted from me was a letter from a school saying I had been sucessful at interview.
And….. more that five times my salary is on offer. 120,000 pounds!!! Can buy something very nice in Nottingham for that price.

I think I need about 7-8 thousand saved as a deposit. I’m doing alright so far, maybe 3,500 saved. Hopefully will be able to have saved enough for a deposit by next summer (this is a long term goal!!)
I don’t think I’ll live around here though – my car got broken into last week :(

If I worked out how much money I’ve spent on renting flats in the last 9 years, it would shock me. I bet its over 10 thousand pounds – maybe heading towards 20 thousand. It’s the only sensible option really.
