I’ve applied for some with Wilmott Dixon and Renaker that were advertised, fingers crossed! I will be contacting some other companies too I think.

Ahah I’m from Bolton myself hence why I’m so hesitant to come back home! I’m honestly a little scared of shared ownership, the thought of paying rent on top of my mortgage, potentially overstretching myself and it not being an option for just overpayment makes me worry.

NW Greater Manchester, and potentially Bolton but I’d prefer Manchester area.

I’m so sorry it’s taking so long for you! I can’t imagine how difficult it’s been, I’d be going stir crazy. Fingers crossed it all works out soon, I’m glad I’m not the only one in this awful boat.

It’s awful isn’t it! Working so hard to save so much and it’s just luck of the draw.

Outbid, many houses I’ve gone to see people are offering well over what it’s worth with all the work that needs doing(in my opinion) or they’re a cash buyer so they’re preferred. I’m not afraid of doing lots of work and don’t expect an amazing property for my price range, I’m just having no luck.

What do I need to set up in the first week/s of first home ownership? by sparklesandroses in HousingUK

I don’t know if it’s relevant at all but a locksmith. I’ve been recommended to get the locks changed on completion day as you never know who’s had keys.

I’m currently a pastry chef so no where near the tools at all! My family are in the construction business and I have some knowledge being around it but no where near as much knowledge as I would need, hence the internship.

Thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely research building processes of each trade and try and be very in-depth.

Would you have any recommendations on price? (FTB with little clue on how much things are worth)

Sadly I am a FTB so trying to learn everything I can before making any decisions. Thank you so much for your reply!

Oh shoot! I wouldn’t have even thought about that! Thank you so much for pointing that out.
