Housies; The Future; fear

[kingandy]

Bah.

Apparently the woman who owns the house next to samharber's is demanding an exhorbitant price (twice what Sam and Nook, also in the same street, paid - and it's been on the market for a good while now) and will not budge. She is a fool. The fallout from this is that myself and Ms bacony will require somewhere to rest our heads come July. Anyone know any good letting agencies in Notlob? The plan is to move there and rent temporarily while I (a) build up capital and (b) find somewhere to buy... hard to arrange house viewings when you live the far side of Manchester.

In case anyone's interested, the crazy woman is asking £57K. I suspect I could get a mortgage for that on my salary - just about - but I think I'd want something a bit larger for that much. I know, housies are expensive these days, but it seems daft considering what other houses in that street went for.

It is still tempting though, if only somebody would sort out the administration... and give me a big pile of cash.

Only 85k for a 1 bed flat, why that's cheap at half the price! Still firmly in the £120K and upwards bracket near me :(

This one is in Bedford rather than London - still only 45mins into London on train and 35 mins into work by car :)

And yet still considerably more than I could afford on my meagre salary :(

Will there be a flat warming? Can I invite myself to it?

If I get the one I want then there will be a considerably raucous flat warming pre fixing up and a more refined affair once it is pretty.

And anyone can come :)
