ANGELA & BRIAN



HOUSES - TO SHARE - TO RENT - TO BUY ? THAT IS THE QUESTION !

 

BUYING A HOUSE ~ The biggest decision

Young Couples have to make ~ when they marry !

In ESSEX the cheapest three bedroom house

Costs you more than  £200,000  ($270,000) !

 

Because of inflation ~ its best to buy 

Rather than rent ~ Its called *Getting on the

Housing Ladder!*  There are several hurdles.

Cost - Location - Deposit and Mortgage !

 

We have looked at several Houses ~ Some GOOD

Some BAD ~ Some UGLY ~ but ALL expensive !

Angela*s Parents have a Friend ~ who is

Moving to Sheltered Accommodation !

 

She has given us First Refusal on

Her House !  This could be our solution !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

 

We should point out the advantages of *Buying Direct*  from Mrs Roberts are:

1. There are no Estate Agents involved.  2. The transaction can be done amicably between our Solicitors to ensure the transaction is legal.  3. There are NO CHAINS involved ~ other Buyers & Sellers !        4. Because Mrs Roberts is moving to *FURNISHED SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION*she has agreed to include Carpets & Curtains & Lounge & Dining Room Furniture in the Price ~ To be agreed. 5. She is moving at the beginning of March so that will give us plenty of time to get the house ready to move into after we are married ~ AMEN !

    Good luck in getting on the Housing Ladder, it can be precarious at times but most of us manage to climb towards the top.

      Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Yes indeed buying our first house and getting it all tickety-boo is a very big step for us. The house in question is in good order ~ garden needs a bit of attention ! Will be ideal for a *house cat* and eventually our Family ! We still have to sort out the finances but it is within budget with a little help from our Parents ! Thanks for your comment ! I have added a codicil about the advantages of BUYING DIRECT ~ NO cahins etc etc.

      Blessings & Peace to You and Yours

      A God-send then, maybe - that house!
      Now look, I want to hear no more of my 'oldness', seeing as this song dates from 1872! Was you around in 1066 too?! heehee. It's a lovely, bit croony, song really.

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thnaks for yiour comment UNCLE STEVE ! The GOOD BOOK says: *All things fit into a a pattern for GOOD to those who Love God and are guided by His Purposes.* Yes indeed The offer of this House is indeed a Blessing from the Lord. Mrs Roberts is a devout Catuolic and had prayed that a Christian Young Couple would purchase Her House. She is a widow but with no Children ! We have added a CODICIL which outlines the advantges fo buying direct ~ AMEN ! Yes OLD INDEED *Home Home on the Range* was one of the first songs I (B) learned to play & sing on the Guitar. Did you ever meet Gene Autry ?

        Belssings and Joy to you and your Posh Pet
        Love in the Spirit Angela & Brian ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

        Here in MH because of the train links to London and its inclusion in several 'Best Town' surveys the increase in prices hasn't faltered making it so difficult to get on the first rung.

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Oops Uncle Mike ~ weve added our reply as a comment ~ Please check Poem ~ Thnaks A & B !

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ The same is very true of Essex ! Excellent climate # near the COAST & LONDON. I have extolled the virtue of *Buying Direct* no chains or gazzumping etc. The good news is that initial discssions indicate it will be within our BUDGET but of course we will have a ยฃ200k morgage based on our joint incomes ! Watch this space. We have added a codicil on the advantages of *Bying Direct* !

          Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
          Love Angela & Brian ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

            Really chuffed for you - hope it all works out as I am sure it will.

          • Fay Slimm.

            A piece of really good news for you both and do hope your new life will be great in the house you are buying direct. Well done indeed to cut out all fees etc............ getting it ready will be exciting. too.

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              GOOD EVENING FAY ~ Thanks for your good wishes. We are now negotiating with Mrs Roberts through our Soliciter ~ it all looks to be going smoothly. We will have about a month to get it all shipshape ready for us to move in after our honeymoon in Sevilla in April ~ We are both very excited !

              Love - Joy & Peace
