Like I said mate it's all about getting on the ladder, once it's all done out and nice inside it's going to sell for allot more than you paid for it and spent re-doing it. So come a couple of years you and your lass will be able to get something else if you wanted too, if not it's going to be a cosey home for you to settle down in :)

[Karl]

Looks alright man!
whats the estate/road like you live on?

[Robb]

fiancee? since when?

good work anyway landy, congrats...

[Amiee]

Best feeling ever getting your own house!!!

Just be warned its not 100% till you get the keys :)


Looks like a good 1st home!

[lyndon]

[jaybiss]

[stevenet15]

[dsh85]

ill have to pop round to discuss the arrangements for my room

[landy]

got engaged christmas day.

[richiepikka]

thats a good price... a 2 bedroom flat were i live is around £200.000 no joke

[landy]

the place were we are gettin it is all up and comin apparently, they have spend a shed load off cash to make it better, so probly best time to buy a house there

[Mark51]

well done, where is it?

[landy]

minsthorpe

[Kelly]

ffs cant even get a house in old goole (where most the rough people live) for that anymore and thats worse than just average goole!

[claret-vtr]

Nice one pal. Me and my girlfriend bought a house together 2 years ago fo 68K but just had it valued at 90K we bought at a good time and spent a bit of money new bathroom and kitchen etc. Just been told our electrics are dodgy. So be warned houses can be a blag do everything properly and by the book the last owners of our house were real cowboys (not the type that ride horses and wear hats) lol.

Anyway well done pal and good luck with the house.

[xxxvickxxx]

good luck with it all :y: wish me any my fella could find a house that cheap round here

[Hannah]

Congrats on both things dude!

I can't believe the price differences from down here to up north!

You can't buy anything for £78k down here. A 2 bed flat is £215k+!! :fcuk:

[Chris]

£78K... blady hell.

Me and the missus are looking for a 3 bedroom house at the mo and we'll be spending around the £200K mark within the next 12 months on one!

We bought out 2 Bedroom spacious house just over 2 years ago for £135K, it's now worth £165K.

Congratulations Mate!!!!! The feeling you get when the keys get put in your hand the morning of moving in is just brilliant!!

Chris :)

[VTR_Nick]

Thats helova cheap mate, don't here (plymouth, devon) that house would be double the price

[CampDavid]

Only half the price of my new place!

Bitch

[Adamski]

Its mad how much cheaper it is up north! Nice one mate, sometimes its good to get into up and coming 'regeneration' areas cus give it a few years it will hopefully help the price of yours.

I made £19,500 on my house in less than 2 years nearly 3 years ago when i sold it after splitting with the missus. Kind of wish id have kept it on now as im going to struggle to get back on the ladder on my own. But it is expensive business having your own gaff! You will notice the difference on your expendible outgoings lol

[Danr]

Congrats matey :)

[Yates]

fucking hell, you go away for a few months and look what happens to you!

oh well congrats mate

[Barry123]

[Mark51]

[mattknight1984]

[Barry123]

[gotamintvtr]

congratz mate. me and my mate were talking and looking today and cheap houses that need work. when i say cheap i mean around 160k for a 3 bed in not good condition.

as we both do the same job wich is working nights we have nothing to do in the day and hes been in the building trade before so we can do alot of it ourselves

[landy]

[Payney]

Well done for getting the house, have to say your prices are much cheaper than here, looking at minimum 110k for a house here... of what you've got anyway. :p
