Moving Out

[Supermalt]

 

nah allow that room

 

actually, tell a lie. imagine chilling preeing your girl shower 

 

While you were eating dinner at the dining table next to it?

 

 

didnt even see that fam

 

[dub]

Allow it, bathroom needs to be a separate room regardless, doesn't even look like there's any ventilation

[The Infamous]

can't be having wooden floors next to the shower

super crammed

[Niall Ferguson]

That en suite room looks good for a room in a houseshare.

 

Thankfully I live in my own flat, so don't have to deal with this fraff.

Finally got a completion date of this Friday!!!

 

Bought a 2 double bedroom flat for £75,000. £30,000 of savings and a £45,000 mortgage.

 

Mortgage only works out at £308 a month for 5 years then £342 for 11 years. 16 years in total.

 

Do not know where to begin with furniture purchases, changing energy providers etc etc. as this is my first time leaving the family home.

 

Any pointers would be great.

Mate there is no panacea for this. Search Google, heavy. I mean, IKEA is the most obvious starting point.

 

Energy providers: Will PM you a website.

 

Oh, and, congratulations. Is this up north?

Thanks.

 

Yeh Manchester. A place called Whitefield. If you aren't familiar with with it, its around 6 miles north of the city centre.

 

I was thinking of ikea, its not too bad in terms of expense, plus putting the flat packs up gives me something to do.

For furniture - go on Gumtree.

You have to scroll through a lot of shit but there's loads of house clearances on there.

Picked up a sofa 1 year old worth £2k for 500.

TV units that were £80 in Ikea for £20 etc

I guess Yoshie implies a valid point too...if you want low cost, 2nd hand stuff then of course...Gumtree, eBay.

 

With your own flat though bro...buy nice shit.

You can get some nice stuff on there, but like I said for every nice item there's 10 pieces of shit furniture on there.

[Yoshie]

Another thing I missed out on is using Quidco.

You can get a lot of cashback when signing up to energy/insurance providers etc.

[JOHN DOE]

Congrats mongy

308 pcm for a mortgage

Mad.

Government needs to pump up the economy much more in other areas than London.

Would cop a student house up north to rent out but I couldn't move there

This seems like a good idea, but the b2r market is saturated and probably wouldn't be viable unless you paid an agent to run it, which lowers your margin even more significantly.

[ag.]

them prices are standard up north

the only downside is living up north

[Fresh]

I love London to my soul but 75k? Makes me really question If its all worth it.

[Yoshie]

Prices up north are mad, looked at what I could get near my old uni in Sheffield in the same budget and I'm seeing 4 bed houses detached.

It's painful, not a bad city to live in either.

[YFSD]

Energy use uswitch to get comparisons

Use quidco for everything. For sky I got free broadband for a year, free £100 and free £100 M&S voucher

I moved out about 2 months ago so any questions feel free to pm
