as in the money is sorted

but I will probably move to Essex. I don't care if it's Grays, Basildon etc.

What's cheap but not that bad? I really don't care if the area is bad or not but when people say areas are bad they don't go into much detail.

I have looked North but the transport costs are a killer. need to keep the train under £300 imo

Grays is pretty ****. I wouldn't fancy it at all.

I don't really care about the local town as I probably won't spend much time there anyway.

Like Palmers green, I may live there but not much in the area to do apart from popping to Morrisons.

Just make sure you have enough room for a 58" TV, it really makes quite the difference :cloud9:

You can probably get a train into town from Darlington for less than £300 a day, and can probably get a decently-sized gaff round there too. I know it's Oop Norf, but people who live in Yorkshire never stop banging on about how brilliant it is there.

Plus you can pop in to see Jorge for a Cafe Mocca Latte with nutmeg and almond topping

when I mean North I meant Hertfordshire.

it's not just to to buy a place its rent is ridicules now and I can probably pay a mortgage nearly 50% of what I am paying in rent right now.

need to stick to London for work purposes for now.

I have only ever bought one property so I am perhaps not hugely qualified to advise here, however I would suggest the above statement could be seen as possibly naive.

Wee bit of research perhaps.

Though not like Monty when he was contemplating Turnpike Lane because he just came across like a big mummy's boy heemasex.

We had a teeny 48" until Saturday, well played the glw who stepped up to the plate and said what about that one? £750 is rather bloody reasonable as well! It's not OLED or QLED but frankly the picture is awesome without paying another £2k

I lived near there for a while you get used to it.

scrutinised by a lawyer and don't let your lawyers exclude that scrutiny from their terms. If you discover onerous but well hidden charges you want some redress.

Be especially careful of anything built in the last 20 years and completely avoid anyone talking of informal lease extensions on nearly exhausted leases i.e. "don't worry that the lease on the property* is only 40 years because the freeholder has agreed to an informal extension to 125." - It's a scam.

*the ghastly dickensian grotesque from the estate agent will pronounce it "prippertay".

Nice railway station though.
