Q:Hi,
This is my second thread of how to buy run down house as I received only few replies to the first one.
To explain my situation I have some savings and looking to buy old run down property so I can fully refurbish it. I am builder so it won't be a problem at all.

Q:We are in the middle of selling our house (its a 2 bedroom and we need a 3 bedroom) and we are thinking of renting for approx. a Year to see if prices go down before getting back on the property ladder.As we would have approx 50k from the sale of our house , and the fact that our next house would hopefully cost 100-110k we would only need a fairly small mortgage we think it wouldnt be too hard to get another mortgage.Does anybody think its a sensible thing to do as it means about 6 or 7 k in
Q:Hi everyone, im new to these forums and look forward to learning a lot from you guys.
Hope someone can help me with my predicament.

We would like to
Q:Hello all,
I have just purchased my first house with via the first time buyers initiative. I am now on the property ladder (well just about).
My question is how quickly should I aim to move up? The next step would be 100% ownership. Friends have said it is easier to buy a better second home than your first.

Has anybody had any recent experience of downsizing by exchanging with someone climbing the property ladder? Does anybody know the rules on exchanging. i.e. impact on mortgage etc. Many thanks. Alan.
