Lively market

Certainly seems to be more houses coming up for consideration.

But it's not that there's loads more ones I like.

Totally gone off maisonettes. Why pay so much for what amounts to half a house?

They look good in the photos, but not so much when you realise half of it ain't yours.

Let's hope a few more banks do an HSBC and come up with a decent first time buyer mortgage.

I.E. At least 85% allowed to be borrowed. No fees. And no ridiculous interest rate.

I'm not holding my breath.
