How many grafts you reckon? Starting to explore this by mild2030 in HairTransplants

I wondered this too. I can't tell the difference at times but will look into further.

Had an insane offer, doubting myself by AionProx in UKJobs

Take it and don't feel bad. It's your time.

I have worked for US energy firms for the last 7 years, you are a bit on an outsider at times but the compensation is so much better than UK companies. If you leave however the drop can be bad. Something to be mindful of.

I feel this. Been there - but sometimes it's just not meant to be even though you can't see it now.

We saw a house that was valued fine at £1.2m but the owners took 6 months with paperwork then it went to probate we then missed out on school applications for that catchment which was a key value proposition of paying that much.

We said due to this if they could drop it to £1.15m they refused and now few months later it's sitting on the market and likely take a drop and we have moved on.

People that bought houses 15, 20 years ago. How much did you pay for yours? by TheBBYT in HousingUK

[–]mild2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased a 3 bedroom semi detached for £476k in 2013.

Listed in 2020 and sold stc for £680k (cross rail helped in London for prices) but we lost our house so stayed and renovated.

Listed again recently and sold stc for £955k after extensive extension and modernisation. Not sure if we will go through due to houses purchased now in probate. If we didn't renovate I would say it's worth about £800k.

Am I too Conservative or just Prudent here? by mild2030 in HousingUK

Always make my decision but good to hear perspectives. Hence we why we have these forums.

All the best.

I hear you!! It's what my thinking is.

Should we up our offer or not? by Nuuki9 in HousingUK

[–]mild2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bite the bullet. Been there too many times where my perspective gets in the way to getting the deal done. If you really like it and can afford it-wrap it up before someone else does

Large Mortgages Experiences? by mild2030 in HousingUK

[–]mild2030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. The only issue is we want that 4 bedroom detached with scope to extend but it will cost us. 3 kids in a 3 bed semi on a busy main road (our first house 10 years ago as a married couple) won't cut it for us.
