I posted up a thread a bit back about a house swmbo and I had made an offer on, that was removed from the market due to a disagreement with the repossessor and the seller acting on their behalf, we found out a couple of weeks ago that the house had gone back on the market with a different seller but through the same estate agents so we resubmitted our offer (a little higher to appear keen)! In a poor market and the wrong time to buy, we had very little competition...

this morning we received a call saying our offer was accepted and for a large 3 bedroomed end terraced house with 2 reception rooms, massive kitchen, big bathroom and a breakfast room off the kitchen and 3 double bedrooms (basically the size of 2 standard 2 bed terraces) and also land of our own at the back for about 6 cars, all for £67,500!!

we're thinking deposit of £7500 leaving us with a small mortgage!!

i'm a very happy young man

Well done Danny.

always a nice feeling to be a homeowner.

In my view ..buying is always better than renting ,even in these hard times.

Sounds like you bagged yourself a bit of a bargain .

[markey mark]

sweet news danny  

[Danny]

thank you people!!

my thoughts from just a moment ago (having just watched the news about slumps in sales) is that when we've decorated it to a nice standard, we'll get a fresh valuation in a few months or a year and just see how much of a bargain it really was!

AND most importantly, swmbo said once we know our finances are stable, i can get another 3.0 elite as my weekend car!! (as long as she can have her mk2 golf back!)

[Jimbob]

Nice!

[platty]

If you  are looking to stay there long term (2+ years) that should work out really nicely for you. If you renovate/decorate at your leisure, by the time the market has recovered you should be sitting on a tidy investment!

Congrats  

[Danny]

we hope to be there for as long as physically possible

of all the properties we viewed, and some were very nice and reasonably priced, the majority lacked the character or "wow" factor, and didnt have any potential of doing things with, they were just liveable houses although nice

this one gives us a spare room downstairs, and 2 spare rooms upstairs, one of which is about 19'x13'!!, and not to mention the land at the back (as well as the back yard)

Well done Danny Make sure you change the locks no matter how many keys you're given, I know of a few folks that have had unwanted visitors

[Martin_1962]

Very sound advice  
You never know if the previous owners still have keys  
The house i live in now....i rented it out for about 2 yrs a while ago....I still changed the locks when i moved back in
