Mornin' all,
I'm after some advice with regards to getting on to the property ladder within the next couple of years.
A bit of background info:
At the moment I'm working full time and earning a good wage. Living at home so have very low fixed outgoings each month and generally able to save a good stack of my pay after Mr Brown gets his 'share' of it.
I'm quite keen to get on the property ladder as soon as I can really, I'm working on trying to save a good deposit. With regards to the deposit, does anyone have any advice on what's the most effective way to save a deposit quickly?
I'm hoping to try and find something suitable for myself that will also be a solid investment around the beginning of summer next year. I'll be looking for a pad just for myself, undecided whether I'd prefer a period house or a s****y new apartment. Keen to keep my options open on that front, will boil down to what's more cost effective I guess.
Now, my parents didn't really ride the property wave of the last few years, so really they'd not be the best people to talk to so hopefully some wise old soul will have some good advice for me.
Anything with regards to getting on 'the ladder' will be greatly appreciated, however big or small.
Regards
Mike.
