Redundancy Off. House Hunt Back On.

Another bullet dodged. The cull has been survived. So the house hunt is back on. My original September deadline is going to missed by a long way as I've had no viewings for months, no second viewings ever, no offers made.

My problems remain twofold - I don't like any houses that fall within my price range, and I don't like any mortgages on offer for the 15% deposit I've managed to scrape together.

Really looking forward to the next few months then. Hope to be moved in time for Christmas. Ho, ho bloody ho.

Nothing Like The Threat Of Redundancy To Stall Your House Hunt

Hence the lack of entries in this blog. The house hunt is in stasis until I find out one way or another whether I can guarantee a regular income, and satisfy those pound hungry money lenders. I suspect they don't appreciate a man with no guarantee of work coming in and asking to borrow a couple of hundred grand with a vastly inflated interest rate attached to it. I'm still saving properties I like the look of from the emails I'm getting sent, but that's more in hope than expectation. We shall see!
