First Time Buyer

A First Time Buyer in London, been looking since 2017. Trying to remain relentlessly optimistic. Interested to hear from and share information with others.

@TfLTravelAlerts it’s about 30 degrees on the platform waiting for the Bakerloo line at Oxford Circus and you are just saying services held with no announcement or explanation. Am I going to make it into work in the next 30 minutes?

Buy to let’s beginning to preempt a squeeze? Lots of chain free properties coming onto the market. Wish some of them were in better condition and with a sensible leasehold/freehold arrangement #firsttimebuyer

Two more interest rate rises likely this year, top economists predict - Estate Agent Today https://t.co/O8HfSUVpU6 #mrnews

@TfL are you ever going to get trains running on time from Rectory Road, they are consistently terrible, delayed, or cancelled with no notice - it makes getting anywhere, like for instance to work on time quite difficult

[First Time Buyer @Firstimebuyer]

@HomeOwnersAll is such a great resource for #firstimebuyers - read up #knowbeforeyoubuy. Think about how many times you look at a pair of trainers before you buy them. The average house price in London is about 14500 pairs of trainers https://t.co/JxTbPoQDoh

What actually is the difference between Leasehold and Freehold? https://t.co/JGzcRkt8ye

[First Time Buyer @Firstimebuyer]

@HenryPryor Wholeheartedly agree

#snowday - did you know you can tell how well insulated a roof is by how much snow there is on it 🤓 #firsttimebuyer #london #property #uk

Been reflecting on being #gazumped,surely there is a need for #regulation or at least a statutory procedure by which offers are placed & accepted. Not knowing whether or not the offer you are bidding against is even real seems farcical & leads to massive inflation in prices

[First Time Buyer @Firstimebuyer]

Lining up my Saturday for more house viewings, will need to buy a new pair of trainers soon #firsttimebuyer #firsttimebuyerwoes #london #uk #property

Interested to see how the stamp duty threshold for properties 500k and under in #London works out, will it inadvertently become a price cap? #firsttimebuyers #london #property #propertyuk #uk #mortgage #stampduty

As #London keeps growing so are the #houseprices. We took a look at what new infrastructures means to the future home buyers. https://t.co/XzmrUV1A7o #ukproperty #firsttimebuyer https://t.co/eQiJjLZikS

Interested to hear from other #firstimebuyers about the hurdles they are encountering trying to buy #property in #London and get #afootontheladder

[First Time Buyer @Firstimebuyer]

Learned my lesson with guide prices, be very careful as the lowest price appears to be there to get people through the doors and bidding - may not be realistic for you and actually increase the price artificially if you do place a bid #FirstTimeBuyers #firsttimebuyerwoes #london

#gazumped, just learned what this actually means - wish I hadn't! Also learned today what #gazundering and #gazanging mean too. #firsttimebuyers #firsttimebuyerwoes #london #property #uk
