A question about : Big Badger House (aka Noisy Lodger) HE'S GONE!

Played loud music to cover his sex noises - evicted.

NiceSoFarLodger (Lodger2)

Good strong relationship - got his rent reduced... moved out to get his own flat for his son to visit.

A question about : Own Home Scheme Pros and Cons

Hi all,

We recently signed up to the Own home scheme for first time buyers
https://www.ownhome.co.uk/faq.htm

Our interview date is looming and we are in a good position to buy.
All I want to know is Own home a good scheme, I really can't see any
disadvantages to using the scheme. Are there any cons or is this a
fantastic offer?

Also why hasn't Martin mentioned it on the site?

any advice/opinions greatly appreciated.

A question about : making an offer

does anyone have any thoughts on what level % below the asking price is acceptable ? I am sure there are many of you who have offered well below the asking price and got some properties at a snip, I am considering making an offer of 250k and the asking price is 275k any thoughts?

A question about : Want to be different

Ok guys it's time to get a few things off your chest !

I currently work as a mortgage advisor and will very shortly be starting life as an estate agent as well. No I know that in general both of these roles have quite a negative public image and I want to do my best to change it.

So if you can spare the time I would like to know what you think mortgae people and estate agents do wrong at the moment and what the need to do better. I do mean this as a serious post because I really do want to do things a bit differently.

A question about : The 'We're saving for a deposit' thread

Hi all

Thought I'd start one of these as it seems a lot on this board are in this position and I couldn't find such a thread. Sorry if there is one - please point me in the direction of it someone!

Not sure of the best way to do this, but thought it would be good to have a thread where we can state our goals, log our savings and encourage one another.

So, I'll start -
