Owning your own home

I saw that today but realised it’s a bit too stalky moving right next door to you. Even looked at the ugly house that’s just up to top end of your road...

it’s a bit too stalky moving right next door to you

Surely that wouldn't really be a problem with the joint living arrangements greenhell hints at? :)

I heard there is already a jack and jill bathroom connecting the houses

don't worry - i'd treat you with the same naked contempt and indifference i do all our neighbours.
but srsly - it's a nice fuckin' road. it gives good park.

Possibly some of the oddest written particulars I've ever seen on the listings from this agent.

About £100 for a BS3621 mortice and a night latch.

The only loo is downstairs, though the kitchen...!

yeah it's a bit weird.

lotta houses round here have this... feature. imagine it makes giving it "a good ten minutes" a pretty unique challenge when you're making your beans on toast.

ours is upstairs. where it belongs.

got our offer in principle from my bank

They cant give us monthly payment rates or interest rates until we put an offer on a house, seemed to make sense to me.

Mortgage advisor is saying if we have an idea of the amount we will be borrowing they can get those so it speeds up the process when you do put the offer in.

Both say the other is chatting shit, which is it?

If you know your amount borrowed, ltv and term then it should be possible to figure out from their website & maths all the info you want?

as I have mentioned this before, victorians shat in their backyards

My grandparents used to have a privy behind the shed, and their house was built just after the First World War. Had a fucking laurel growing through it, I hated having to use it as a kid.

If you know your deposit and set a budget, your mortgage advisor should be able to tell you if you are likely to pass affordability checks. As long as your budget is lower than the number the bank gave you for the mortgage in principal that should be fine.

With the above info then you can do it yourself, but the broker can definitely do it for you. They can give you a range of options from different lenders with an accurate indication of what you will be paying each month.

You just don't like resting on laurels.

Offer £574k and get one of these.

I think I spent a lot of time after my gcse’s in that park.

Lovely street but the house is too small - and as Dov says, that bathroom situation is a no no.

Ours is on the market today:

Need to get the agent to update the description as they’ve rushed it through without me checking it. Doesn’t explain the basement parking and zip line into Brockwell Lido from the bedroom. An absolute bargain for the area.

Pls someone buy my flat.

Digger off here gets the credit for doing the kitchen and the floor.

Amazing views! If it’s really 600 sqft not 463 I would get the agent to correct the listing for that as well as the typos.

The bedroom view is the best one - Lido, bmx track, fields, church spires, Covid testing centre...

Looks nice. The description is a bit weird, makes it sound unsuitable to just buy to live in it.

Never thought this would get to the stage where I had to ask, "The responses that are outstanding, and you tell me 'We are awaiting replies' to, you have actually requested them, haven't you?".

After 6 days of no response...."More money please for new searches. because now the ones we did are OOD."
Just shoot me.

I thought "I like your cooker" and then I thought "of course I do, I bought the same one".
I like the metal dish shelves above it. What are they?

I’m going to miss that oven.

Could you photo me the oven control settings please (the left three)- mine have worn off through use.

Shelves are ikea!

Such a great flat, good luck with the sale!! Is there anyone even left in HH?
