we are still paying off our mortgage. however, the value of our house now - no way could we ever buy it if we were looking now and it still needs loads of work to it - old kitchen, old bathroom, needing painting everywhere. We got it cheap at the time because it hadn't been decoated since the 70's and needed new windows all through. It's purely because of our age - we bought years ago in our late 20's when prices were literally £200k lower than now. So we were just lucky.
If we were looking to buy now, on our salaries we'd be lucky to afford a 1 bed studio flat. I dread to think what our children will face
hon, don't put yourself into too much debt buying. If a bargain doer upper comes along fine but life is too short.
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
