^^^ I'm not at all keen. but rents are also going up fast.
is it really any better to sit tight and wait for the market to cool? a few years ago there was hope for that, but in the event the London market never really cooled. now it seems like everyone who has a little deposit squirreled away is saying "fuck it, we may as well jump in".
my sister (a different one) is paying back her mortgage double-quick, pays a little over my rent, on a lovely 1930s 3-bed semi. would involve moving to middlesbrough though...
