Property Magnate
I normally have some kind of project on the go….usually on a whim. For example:
"Think I will buy a house this week" - 1 week later I made an offer on a place.
"That car is cheap" - 2 days later I was the owner of a 1998 MR2 (2 months later, I was the owner of a bent 1998 MR2!!)
"We could do that [Long Way Round]" - 16 months later - RTW
Various other whims - Hitchhiking to Ireland, driving to Andorra, buying a RS800, children (Shome mishtake, shurely? Ed)
So, with the credit card stoozing going well (£20k+ pot), the whim for this period was to become a property magnate. After a lot of talking and not a lot of action, I mentioned to my neighbours if their house sale was going well?
"No, the buyer dropped out yesterday"
"Ahh….I'll buy it"
This is my 'sold' sign:
I am buying next door - they are emigrating to Australia and i am planning to 'buy to let'.
Currently scaring myself at the cost of buying a house: £900 for a mortgage, £1700 stamp, £1000 searches and fees!!
