Owning your own home

Any forum recommended builders in East (E17, E10, e4, E5)? Need to get some quotes for a mixture of roof repairs and plumbing (great combo, I know) 😅

Had an offer accepted on a house. Somewhat in shock. Now looking forward to all the ways it can fall through.

Good luck. And well done. The first stress is passed!

Thanks! Will need to buy an MTB as it is up by the forest.

Yassssss

which part of catford?

The Woodford part

Has anyone used home buyers insurance and can recommend a provider? Thinking of taking a policy out as now in a chain.

Oh hai neighbour (??)

The love for catford on here is strong

Little bit further up than you, but not too far. If all goes through, some trail runs?

Oh hai neighbour (??)

never knew there were so many catford residents on here

👍👍👍

Best of luck!

I would think so - where exactly are you? The place we have offered on is next to Woodford Wells sports grounds.

Easy to drop the kids off at Bancrofts then

Careful - I don’t want to join the golf club (but yeah).

All four of my cousins went to Bancrofts.

I don’t think any of them make more than £40k a year.

Csb.

😂 this is the kind of #insight locrating is missing.

Now do Forest school, as I assume jnr loin is on the waiting list there.

People who go to private school don't all go in to the private sector though right? Making under 40k could still mean you're working hard as a nurse or teacher whilst being criminally underpaid..

One is a teacher so fair point. The others are in the private sector.

They’re all pretty happy individuals though so 🤷🏼‍♂️

I work in recruiting teachers so that's why I bit 😅, we need more teachers, maybe we'd get some who stay in the profession a bit longer if they could afford to live near where they work.

It'd be nice for me too to be fair (typing from Lincoln 🤣).

Teaching is my long term plan.

being your student would be a nightmare !

sign me up

congrats, so did you buy that Evoque ? pretty much mandatory around there
