we've just bought a mother fucking house! fucking get in. just exchanged on a new place today. goodbye finsbury park and hello walthamstow. i will miss downtown mogadishu.
i've duked it out with the scumbag estate agents, absolute cunts of mortgage providers and a dodgy vendor and can now say the deal is done and i'll be moving to a new place in Jan.
Good luck out there folks. it's a mine field and you have to be persistant, wary and entirely synical about everyone involved in the whole process until you get confirmation that contracts have been exchanged. There are just too many kinks in the chain that can fail and fuck you as a buyer.
by the way reading other comments in the thread i ported a 10 year mortgage to buy this so don't be put off by locking in for long fixed mortgages if you are after certainty around monthly payments but worried about being 'locked in'. cheers
