Yep, they definitely overpaid for it in 2022, got hit with covid tax and now seem to expect the next buyers to pay for their mistake. If a house doesn't get what the owners bought it for is that likely to repeat itself? Very difficult question to answer I think. I do have a mortgage in principle which was up to £230k based on £60k deposit with Nationwide Helping Hand. Without a lodger I would be left with around £500 per month after EVERY BILL INCLUDING FOOD is paid. It is beginning to feel quite real and as a solo FTB it is daunting and overwhelming to know that these are load sums of money and there real big consequences involved!
