Still Searching for First Home
Back in August 2009, I posted about how I was going to be moving out of the family home. This all fell through, thanks to the vendors deciding they weren’t going to continue with the sale.
I am once again on the look out for a property of my own. I’m finding it quite difficult at the moment, having not much money currently saved towards a deposit. A few people have mentioned to me about renting somewhere for a while.
In my mind, the problem with renting is illustrated with the image to the left. By renting a property you are essentially paying off somebody else’s mortgage. I understand that there are situations where people are not able to get a mortgage – generally due to bad credit scores or even (as in my situation) not enough money to put together a 10% deposit.
I’m currently saving money wherever possible along with looking online and in estate agents windows in order to book viewings in as many properties as possible.
My reason for this post is mainly to discuss my ideas on property and being a home owner. I hope to be able to discuss my journey on this blog and keep everybody informed with what is happening.

A Kick in the Butt Gets You Out Of Your Rut
