Wirral mate (wallasey), only way of pushing price down is through smaller agents or in the paper, which is what i'm going to do. Can't be doing with extra costs and credit checks

Yeah but what you have to look at is...Rent essentially is dead money...your better off buying something slightly cheaper and paying money off a mortgage..that way you could still make money if you decided to sell...
Rent you get nothing back

yeah but as said, landlord said if we do stay long long term we can buy it minus the cost of all rent paid to-date
