aardvark.dj: Three and a half thousand reasons

Wednesday 27 August 2003

OK, here's the deal.

The house Sharon and I want to buy is �130,000 (it was �135k but they accepted our offer of �130k).

Our house is on the market at �90,000.

I can afford to increase my mortgage by �40,000. So it's all good.

Except that the highest offer we've had on our house is just �86,000. We're �4,000 short (not to mention stamp duty and fees).

The people whose house we're looking to buy have offered to knock a further �500 off but that still leaves us out by �3,500.

Bugger!
