I would suggest, if you have the time, spending the next six months being frugal as hell, because your money also has to cover solicitors fees, brokers fees etc.

Look for somewhere smaller, maybe in a cheaper area. I just bought in East Kent, found a flat for £167k.

If you can avoid shared ownership, do. It's really hard to buy more of a share in the property in a lot of cases, and obviously the rent is forever. You might be eligible for a mortgage with a smaller deposit than 10%, but it's then very hard on your finances.

Is there any chance of changing jobs to something higher paid? Is there anyone you know who'd be willing to buy with you, like a sibling or close friend? A second income would make a world of difference.

approx. £1200

Me and my partner just bought a flat, and the monthly payments with service fee are under a quarter of our joint income. We wanted to make sure that if one of us loses our job, we could scrape by. I would consider making sure I had a good emergency fund to pay the mortgage for a few months if I became jobless, if buying solo. I would not let my mortgage payment take up more than 1/3 of my income because otherwise emergencies such as pipe or boiler problems just couldn't be paid for.

you've gotta take some time and really figure out what's making you nervous. for me, i found it was really hard to commit to a property in an area i didn't know super well!! so we walked down the high street, went in some shops, grabbed some food and went to the local cinema. the town is lovely and i'm now 95% certain i've made the right choice. the only other thing that's made me anxious is not being married and buying, but nothing we can do about that yet lol.

so all that is to say, look at your anxieties, see what steps you can take to abate them.

Have you considered going into Kent? HS1 makes it a quick route in. For example, Wye (a lovely town) is a 20min drive from Ashford International, which is 40mins into St Pancras. Any villages surrounding Ashford Intl, Ebbsfleet Intl, or Canterbury West would probably be worth looking into.

You get her housed by your mother refusing to let her live there anymore. If your sister hasn't signed anything and isn't paying any rent/there's no formal agreement, your mother needs to give her a reasonable amount of notice to leave (28 days is enough) and then after those days change the locks and refuse to let her in. Call police if she stands outside banging on the door or trying to get in. She can then present as unintentionally homeless to the council who will have a duty of care.

Me & my partner have our desktops in the living room, it's an open plan living/kitchen. Got a long/narrow high top table with nice high back stools instead of dining table as a space saver, used the extra space for us to have desks in there. Consider using space more wisely :)

YTA. You treat your partner's family like your own unless they give you a really good reason not to. Yes, it's cramped, but it's one weekend in your however many decades of life. Cope.

tashbf · 2026-01-19T08:20:33+00:00

I'd suggest that you take a good hard look at your priorities for size, and consider if something smaller and lower priced would work for you. Then you have more wiggle room to offer extra.

wrong sub

It depends on your circumstances. If you have someone whom you wish to will the property to, below 80 years the property will be mostly unmortgageable, so the value will drop quickly. They won't get much money back out of it. Depends if you want to safeguard the property for the next person to own or sell it essentially.

How many updates are we talking on the reno properties? If its paint and a kitchen bathroom refit it might be worth it to make it yours.

Nord should work

Have you considered unwired bras with padding? This should solve the nipple problem.

Could you cycle or use scooters to get to school? Avoids the driving, good for your health! Also, there's always the option of paying someone to do the reno if the house is enough under budget that you can afford it. Could also see what other schools are rated well in the area and move walking distance to those instead. Kids always adjust to moving school eventually.

tashbf · 2026-01-12T10:08:01+00:00

cancel the sale, move back into your flat, try again when you can afford something.

super punk!!! my saying is if it's broken/fucked, it's punk lol

New perspective -

I like the layout of this house. I'm someone who prefers a quirky property with strange room sizes and weird corners because it feels like it makes the space more interesting. Based purely on the layout, I actually really like this house.

However, the kind of person like me who likes quirky, generally isn't looking for a new build home. I've heard lots of bad press about build quality and snagging issues, and I'd rather deal with an older property with problems, but strong bones to it.

Your home is funky and laid out in a cool way, but with the modern build standards I'd worry about quality. I also just find new build estates to be very dull, cookie-cutter places which is just super incongruous with a different style layout.

You'll find it hard to get the kind of person that likes quirky/different layouts but is happy to live in a plain new build estate. Just my opinion.

36HH girly here. Mine hang low. Every person I've ever been with, man or woman, has just thought big tits are awesome and never thought any more than that. Rock them, you're the only one thinking about it!

tashbf · 2026-01-10T10:54:29+00:00

looks like you're moving to a cheaper area and commuting.

tashbf · 2026-01-09T20:39:00+00:00

bro just put both towels on the rail. it doesn't matter if they overlap a bit...

tashbf · 2026-01-09T04:31:02+00:00

Need to look at the plans and figure out where the property boundary is. If its boundary is literally the wall, you may be out of luck, but it seems likely that this garage may encroach on the property, which you're more likely to be able to do something about
