I am at the long boring bit of buying a flat

Not at all. I just think p needs to realise that there's more to home ownership than apparently lower housing costs.

It's the fact you can decorate it how you like, nobody can demand to be let in at 24hrs notice, the fact you end up with an asset rather than flushing money down the drain.

and have a kitchen that is designed in a reasonable way.

anyway it's a initial investment it's not a place for the rest of our lives.

We got all the stuff for it already furniture and appliance wise. just need to buy a new fridge freezer.
