Hey ho. Wouldn’t know what to do with a man anyway…….been on my own so long now. LOL

Yes. Waste of time

eh?

yes, good idea.

LOL…..always been too honest for my own good. Have morals too so as much as the idea of marrying rich appeals on paper, I couldn’t live with myself….that is why I’m poor….

How do I find one of these brokers? Yes, the one I spoke to recently told me I was young at 55! Nice to hear someone say that these days! I joined a ‘first time buyer’ advice group on FB and feel ancient!!!!!!

That is an excellent point. I viewed a house yesterday and said to the estate agent that the viewing should include an introduction to the neighbours. She laughed, but I was deadly serious.

I’m having to look further afield as I can’t afford to buy where I live at the moment. It’s all very scary when you are on your own and have lived in the same house for 14 years. I lost my dad two years ago and he was my advisor – so I’m feeling pretty lost at the moment.

I’m so glad I found this group, and really do appreciate any advice you can give me.

I’m on my own. Been out of work for 6 years and now going back into it. I have been volunteering for 5 charities over the past 6 years, not sitting on my arse.
Hate the house I’m renting as it is so cold and the landlord refuses to do anything. I’ve been here 14 years and want to move – so initially I was looking to rent elsewhere. Rent is very expensive and I realised that I would still have to pay for rent until I die, so trying to work out which would give me more peace of mind. Where would I get the rent from once I retire? I’ve never been materialistic and always been a saver – have lived most of my life on very little money – so now I have some, I want to make sure I put it to good use. All advice greatly appreciated.

thank you. I’ve read all his info on first time buyers.

Thank you so much. I have spoken to a broker who has told me all her advice is free until I actually choose her? She really knew her stuff too , but what do I know?

I would eventually like to retire to the coast and won’t be able to afford rent there – so was thinking it would be better to have bought something by then, so I can sell and move? I’m a total novice with mortgages as rented all of my life.
