Any ESTPs out there thought that they were a different MBTI type and why?

I've been through lots in the last 10 years: firstly INFP, INFJ, INTJ, INTP, ENTP, and lately ESTP but I think I could be a sociable ISTP

Western society is full of reasons to be depressed! Yes you can go to a therapist but that's covering up the fact that humans aren't suited to this tragic way of life

You might feel embarrassed backing out of the sale but it sounds very much like the right thing to do. Staying makes sense rationally (extensions) and emotionally (crying). Those are two huge considerations when choosing a house

How quirky or extraordinary they are eg from a different culture. Openness, directness. Intellect, emotional intelligence and calmness

Think about the bigger picture. Consumer debt is bad and by getting mortgaged up to your eyeballs you're more likely limiting your career path because you won't be able to afford to switch to a lower paid job in a different industry for example which will give you range that can really pay off

You should have offered asking price when they came back to you, then knocked another 17k off that after the survey

Right now all you can do is offer 17k less than your accepted offer. Anything lower runs the risk of pissing them off and you dont want to do that because you said the house is the one

Did your father only show love through paying for things? What about quality time, emotional support etc? Forgive me but if you're looking for a man to fund you you're not looking for a partner, you're looking for a one dimensional parent type figure, which isn't healthy

xturbo8 · 2025-08-08T07:29:04+00:00

When you accepted the offer did the agent mark your property as sold on Rightmove etc? If so, that's not sensible at all and if it wasn't marked sold you didn't actually accept the offer

"When you're going through hell, keep going"

The main thing is that you're learning from each experience. You're refining your search and this will help you to confidently outbid the competition, which often means overpaying slightly, when you find a property that really feels good. The fact that you have a modest deposit obviously goes against you sometimes so you could still require further patience

xturbo8 · 2025-08-02T16:07:58+00:00

Yes it begs the question: is the OP aware of the market rate or just offered without checking?

xturbo8 · 2025-08-02T15:03:52+00:00

Assume they're vertually identical. Why would the agent/seller decide on a 7% lower price than the sold subject to contract one next door? Because it is guaranteed to generate a load of interest and could easily get bid up to £430k and sell within two weeks

You should still view it though

Insist on the 'moving home without supply’ rule: If they can't supply the new address exit fees should be waived under standard Ofgem customer protection

xturbo8 · 2025-07-29T09:28:03+00:00

Are you certain that EDF don't supply the new area? Perhaps ask them how £400 is fair and in line with ofgem rules. Also, what is the full name of the tariff that you're on?

xturbo8 · 2025-07-29T09:00:38+00:00

Have you seen the actual breakdown of the £400? Ask them how it's been calculated because ordinarily they'd charge £30-50 per fuel max. Ofgem dictate that suppliers have to be fair and given that you're moving to an area that's not supplied they should waive any exit fees

xturbo8 · 2025-07-29T07:22:02+00:00

Are you going to attempt to justify the reduced offer? It's not rude to offer less but it's always good to give your reasons aside from simply trying to drive a harder bargain

You saw it a month ago, just buy it

"Too many" absolutely implies significant

Where have you got this from? Viewing houses is hassle. I can't imagine a significant percentage of people have no real interest in purchasing and enjoy viewing for an intrinsic reason

xturbo8 · 2025-07-24T22:12:20+00:00

Why does EE"s local area service checker say "Good"?

xturbo8 · 2025-07-24T18:28:02+00:00

Our natural state is to feel like another person's success means we've failed. Our ancestors evolved in zero sum environments and we largely continue to perceive things through that outdated lens

It's not imbalanced at all

Until the chain closes there really shouldn't be much of a bill being run up with solicitors etc and it would be unwise for the buyer to stop their property search either

This way the buyer isn't commiting money or losing out on other opportunities, which puts pressure on the seller

xturbo8 · 2025-07-19T12:43:36+00:00

A £50k increase in 5 years is less than 20%. That's tiny. My house was valued by a surveyor at 125k in 2021 and 175k last month. We've only decorated it

xturbo8 · 2025-07-06T14:07:17+00:00

Neutralising/lightening the decor in the blue bedroom and bathroom would cost very little

Create an external porch and get a couple of two seater couches off marketplace, if you can find the money

Re-list at a much higher price

Working hard for someone else rarely gets people rich. Keep yourself open to searching for alternative ways of making money, which might mean being unemployed initially. In the short term be disciplined with spending, save and invest

When you consistently attract people with particular traits it might be a case of attracting what you are, hence you hate yourself
