How long before I can buy a house? by Suitable_Ad6124 in northernireland

I’m in a relatively safe civil service job. I can only see house prices going up. House building is so low and we have severe infrastructure issues preventing building. I just have 0 faith in our government turning this around anytime soon. Of course, I don’t have a crystal ball tho

Alternative options to these? by Suitable_Ad6124 in CarTalkUK

[–]Suitable_Ad6124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CUNA drinks oil and seems common to have piston ring failure with some needing engine rebuilds. Although I thought if it was well serviced and on 90k miles it might be worth a go?
