Q:Hi all!
Well after months of searching, sorting, survays, offering, rejecting and accepting me and my fiance got the keys to our very fist house and grabbed with very empty hand the first run of the property ladder.
We had the offer accepted on the 18th October and managed to complete within 2 weeks. Great stuff!!
I have just bought a new set of locks for all the doors and we only have one week to do most of the bits we want to do before i'm back at work ri
Q:I am a trainee solicitor who does a fair bit of conveyancing, i am now buying a house and cant believe the amount of stress involved at the beginning! I am now much more sympathetic to my clients.

Q:Hi all,
My partner and i are hoping to buy our first house in the new year, and have saved enough for a small deposit. I contacted a telephone-only mortgage broker reccommended on this site, giving them a few basic details (salary, no outgoings, good credit ratings) and the broker told us we could expect to get a mortgage of up to ￡170K.

Q:Okay guys the buying and selling lark is all new to me, we live in our first house since 89 so have acrued some equity. We now need to move to a bigger house, a 3 bedroom semi from a 2 up 2 down mid terraced.
