Dont know why im worrying yet lol have plenty more years at home.Im looking into a house outside of my town at the moment though,but not to buy but to do up and develop.My dad has done some as he owns a company which carries out building work and manufactures UPVC windows and conservatories.Im hoping this will be a good way of getting ontot the ladder whilst still living at home

One way is to buy and rent a room i spose.I have read about the new mortgages especially for this.

go to a back street place, self certify yourself, pay stupid interest rates and yr laughing

yeah i know mate .damn shame as i would like to stay in my town but the prices are stupid.

usually 3xmain (biggest) wage and 1.5x spouses wage.

Although ive seen offers of up to 5x on single lender mortgages
