Rent vs buy?

If a financial advisor isn't going to help, the opinions on here from people who don't know your situation wouldn't be much use either.

I'm done now, good luck with what ever you decide, hope things sort themselves out for you.

It does matter where because if it didn’t you’d just say. Given your location, I don’t buy your claim you can’t buy a suitable property and have money left over.

But anyway, all you want to hear is that it’s stupid buying and you should instead just fritter away your £120k, so crack on.

Thanks

What can i do guys? Please?

Our house is close to completion now. Wife has found a place that she is buying. I cannot find anywhere!

Had a letter from my solicitor today saying that my wife has complained saying i refuse to sign completion.

Solicitor said i have to sign. I cannot delay the sale! Thing is, i have nowhere to go! Wife doesnt give a monkies. Yes, i will have 120k but i have not been able to find anything yet. Plus, my back is really bad (hospital appointment next week). What if i cant work? I am bricking it but wife says tough.

I am at the end of my tether. Not sure how much more i can take.

Got a meeting next week with a housing association about renting. What if i cant work? I am so worried.

If i buy and then cant work, what do i do? Help!

Where in South Wales do you live?

Looks like you'll have to rent somewhere so the sale of your house can go thru. Sometimes it's hard to let go of stuff but until you do you can't move forward. Once you're in a new place and the dust has settled you'll probably find you're a lot happier

I find it pretty unbelievable that you can't find a suitable 2 bedroom house to buy for £120,000 in South Wales.

He won’t say where because then it’ll be blindingly obvious that there are properties he can buy within his budget, with some left over. He’s either trolling or wants more than’s necessary/wants a location he can’t afford (when there is a suitable location he can afford, it’s just less than perfect)/etc.

Of course. You know everything! :rolleyes:

I dont want to use up all my money. If i have to give up work due to my health issues what would i live on? Spend 120k on a house and have nowt left!

darreny · 15 Jan 2018 at 11:13

You're answering your own question.

koolpc · 15 Jan 2018 at 13:25

Moses said:
Don’t spend the full £120k. You’d get benefits help and would still have money left. You’re lying about there being nowhere you can afford to buy... if that was true you’d just link us to the area so we could see for ourselves.

If you go off work now then your benefits would be limited because you have so much cash, increasing the burn rate massively.

This has to be a troll thread. Otherwise it’s abdunantly clear why the relationship broke down - this is unbelievable.

You are the troll!

You dont have to post in here so go away!

You've been asking for 2 weeks what to do, go rent a flat in the short term until the housing association places become available. I can't be that hard !
