tunnie buys a flat
« on: 18 May 2010, 18:05:00 »

Its well known i sponge off mother & father tunnie by living at home, but thats about to change. Just had my offer accepted on a flat in Acton, London (W3) Manged to get it for 15k under asking price too  :)

Its next to Acton Town rail, so when cross rail is completed should help properly prices!

Its in a 1930's building, with some art deco features, also has very good sized rooms and brick walls so no noise from others, unlike modern builds, its a corner flat with some stunning views over whole of London, can see Wembley arch right around to London Eye  :) 

The best bit? Its freehold! I am one in 22 flats with a share off the free hold. (around 60 in the whole block) so i am on the board for how maintenance  fee is spent

Well Done Tunnie  :y
Glad it's all going through smoothly, and £15k under asking price is pretty good!

 ;D my dilemna would be £200k flat, or slightly used Rools Royce Phantom?
I've had an offer on the Transit, so it's possible that may be sold...but there's going to be a good supply of vans hopefully soon, so as we've discussed...it should all go to plan.

I paid 21k less than that for this house and is 4 bed detatched.
With car parking for 8 cars as well at a squeeze, 6 easily.
Don't get that on new estates often.

I know, it criminal how much London prices are, but thats 200k is cheap, Chiswick its 300k for 1 bed flat!

I did think about buying locally as get much more for your money, but two things stuck in my mind 1) fuel costs 2) social life.

With this flat my commute costs will be £0, i can walk to bus stop and catch free Sky shuttle.

Also all my mates are down in London  :)

Rather than spending £300-400 on fuel per month, thats is basically wasted, its going into a higher mortgage
