That would have been so very unlucky. As it is, my flat is worth 10000 less than it was worth 3 years ago (the one above it which is identical sold for that in 2008) But at least is worth significantly more than I bought it for.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199859409385042568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-72752151113794904482011-06-09T08:28:17.095-07:002011-06-09T08:28:17.095-07:00Aren't there just!

Without a super-salary (not happening for me), buying alone is currently really unaffordable. Especially in the South as you say. A couple of years ago I seriously considered buying a property. It would have been a case of buying something which was not in a good state, stretching myself to the max on the mortgage, and buying a 2-bed so I could always let out one room and rely on the income from that. And that with a sensible deposit! I decided against it in the end, and carried on renting. It would have been incredibly stressful to stretch myself that much on a mortgage, and there were any number of things which could go wrong with the places I was looking at /could have afforded. Unfortunately I'm not a DIY genius, and while happy to learn, I would not have been confident in fixing my own plumbing!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01656390046187780127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-35422504082063902422011-05-18T00:05:42.293-07:002011-05-18T00:05:42.293-07:00Glad you are enjoying it.
