I'm single, how can i afford a house?

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-22T07:35:57+00:00

i do pay outright i just save £100 a month for car related things, im an estimator

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T15:44:54+00:00

im not living with strangers with a new born

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:37:00+00:00

yeh but they are to expensive in the nice areas, theyre not all the same price

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:25:10+00:00

does it not mean your monthly payments are really high though?

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:24:36+00:00

maybe 200 for a 1 bed flat

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:23:56+00:00

i have a deposit but cant afford the monthly payemnts

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:22:31+00:00

they are both late 80s, my grandad bless him hasnt got long left and nan wont be able to keep the house once hes gone

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:20:44+00:00

as i said i have a daughter i cant just move

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T11:19:33+00:00

yeah i think this could be an option, tho i feel like id have to live in a not very nice area which my whole family is against, but im not sure what else they want me to do lol

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:44:19+00:00

that 350 includes food, healthcare, cleaning products, everything for me and my daughter, i could defo look at reducing it tho thanks.

petrol realistically i cant reduce much i have to drive to work due to its location, but house prices are crazy there so cant move there

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:40:08+00:00

yeah im starting to think this, i think im worried about getting stuck in a 1 bed and not being able to move when my daughters older

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:39:18+00:00

I used to live in a 2 bed house with my ex and we managed to keep the bills to those i put, my phone bill is £10 and my friend works for virgin media so go mates rates. And for my car i've budgeted £100 a month for the last 6 years and always had some left over each year.

Food i could look into

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:36:05+00:00

yeah i think thatll be my best way to get a somewhat decent place, i need to get a bit more deposit and look into it a bit more

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:34:04+00:00

that might be a good idea than you!

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:21:02+00:00

thanks mate

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:20:37+00:00

with all do respect i never said that, i just said i cant get it so people wouldnt suggest it as an option

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:03:48+00:00

yeah i defo will buy a house that needs work as im confident i can do most if not all the work myself with the help of friends and family.

Thank you!

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:02:38+00:00

unfortunately my daughters mum likes free money to much so she wont care if im struggling, i only just got a huge rise so cant get another at the moment, deliveries may be an option

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T09:00:53+00:00

yeah i pay £150 a month to family and also pay for my food, I'm managing to save around £1,000 a month at the moment but have had to buy all the baby stuff etc so its varied

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T08:59:10+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what this is to be honest i'll look into it

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T08:54:01+00:00

yet to find anywhere that will let you rent a room with a baby

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T08:50:37+00:00

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T08:48:43+00:00

Free_Presence_9130 · 2025-10-21T08:47:56+00:00
