House update

Finally got in touch with the woman who owns the house next door to [livejournal.com profile] samharber's. Silly bint has gone and had it valued, of all things, and so is putting it on the estate-agent market at £75K. She is now desperate to sell it, and so did not put it on at the full valued price of £78K, but it's considerably more than I was hoping and probably more than I can afford. (Repayments of about £450pcm, apparently, which is more than we're paying at the moment and for a smaller house).

... Actually have done more maths. If I managed to haggle her down to £70K it could be £400pcm from Scottish Widows. Which is what we are paying now. And though it is smaller than where we are now, I would be buying part of a house each month rather than lining a landlady's pocket. And friends are directly next door. Rgh. Now markedly more tempted. But, annoyingly, can't take [livejournal.com profile] bacony to see it before next week, and the woman's going off on hols for a fortnight leaving it estate agent with explicit instructions to sell as soon as possible. Perhaps I will ring estate agent and ask for viewing with them.

Sigh, decisions decisions.
