Renting!!! WTF!!!

[mk2 stu]

Why is renting a bloody flat so fecking difficult! i've spent the best part of two weeks hunting for the right one, seein if its available, checking council rates and bills, i juswanna get a place so me and the missus can get proper freaky without waking up my parents is that too much to ask!!!!!!!!!!

So Stu .... did you find one then?

The thing I cant understand is renting is more expensive that a mortgage.

Banks wont give mortgages to young people because of the cost of repayments, But any one can go and rent a flat. Now if you can afford to pay rent on a private property then why cant you afford a mortgage

Try looking for a house to share with your mates then - no one wants to know!!! It's sooo frustrating!

I'm not suprised you can't find a house to share with your mates - it's got bad news written all over it! I know some people who did this and it lasted two years - luckily one of them was better off than the others so managed to buy them out but it can be disasterous

 

I never even considered renting - so expensive for nothing in return - well obiously a roof over your head but nothing that you can call yours.

My mum and my Sister both rent and it infuriates me that neither of them can appreciate how much better off they would be with a mortgage.

I bought my house when I was twenty - and I am better off financially now than I was before I had one!

 

Its all swings and roundabouts with property though - but you'll have plenty of time for 'getting proper freaky' after you've done your bills and housework and put the bins out - oh the responsibilities

true, we've all lived in crappy houses though, now we're earning good money and want a nice house!!
