You are more than welcome mate! Same, my parents do own their home, but bought it back in 1984 in rural Northern Ireland where it was A) massively cheaper and B) just expected so they weren't familiar with someone being anxious about getting into it. ms_com is the same as you, council estate background with no home ownership in her immediate family.
Nobody is born with the knowledge, so unless you're lucky enough to have family to guide you through it, this place is a fantastic resource like you say. People at similar stages of their lives and frames of reference for first, second, third time buyers, whatever you need. Any help I was able to give, was again only because I likely got it from this place to start with.
Good luck!

Ah that's great, best of luck with the sale.

Great news dude.
We had a Warner over by Lloyd Park, was great. Now we are just near Baker's Arms so fairly close to where you are looking at a Warner, I would guess?
-
Good luck! You may recall I had just bought when we met in Oxford. This thread certainly helped me avoid a number of pitfalls.

3 months late but nice one dude! We sold a Warner via Stow and they really helped us rinse every last penny from our buyers. Would use again.

Just instructed Stow Brothers to put our flat on the market, and put in a bid in for a Warner near us. I am utterly excited and terrified.
I know this isn't really what we do On Here but I wanted to say thanks to everyone who's helped me out on this thread - @jakemcree, @duncs, @stevo_com, @Tenderloin, @Howard, and loads more. I don't really come from a background of people who own homes, we're more council types, and there's so much to learn about homeowning that it can be utterly intimidating. Having a thread full of people who've been through this before, who are willing to share their knowledge, has made me feel so much less like a deer in the headlights than I otherwise would. I genuinely don't think I'd have ever owned my place if it weren't for this thread. LFGSS is a life-enhancing resource full of amazing people.
