[@Neddie2k]

Thanks guys, your are spot on. One other downside is the risk of loosing your house if you can’t afford to pay your mortgage if you loose your job or get sick and unable to work. To mitigate this, save an emergency fund to cover your bill for 6 months, take out the right insurance to protect you and your assets.

[@eleisha5054]

Good advice, a six-months emergency fund is good. You never know when things can change.

[@folusoowodunni4543]

Good advice. Critical illness cover and mutual trust for d kids are very good insurance. Mutual trust is attached to life insurance.

[@TochiEsther]

Well said. There are also insurance arrangements that can mitigate such circumstances if one can't unable to work due to illnes it some sort of loss of income. We'd definitely going to share those soon

[@TochiEsther]

True my dear, it always good to keep a house in good shape

[@margaretrosemakoni7096]

It's a good thing to buy a house especially if you have children. A house bought in the 1990s in London for around £70,000 and 30 yrs later, it costs about £270,000-300,000. So for the children they'll get quite a lumpsum when they inherit the house. Prayer is important. God can move people without you having a hand in it as such. Stay blessed. Zim/UK.

How is the road infrastructure and growth planned in the area? For example how close is it to the train station and what Motorways.

I think before one can resale their house only when they are done with the mortgage payment right? It's great to Owe your own house in UK and take fu responsibilities. I like the 2 years warranty. For your neighbourhood to have a WhatsApp group and do things in common, una no dey UK again o lol! Lucky you guys

[@TochiEsther]

Thanks dear we're really lucky with our neighborhood. You can sell at any point you don't have to have repaid the whole mortgage. When you sell you'd pay the balance in full from the proceeds of the sale.

[@ChySpace]

@@TochiEsther That's awesome. Though Nigerians would hardly sell their house instead I would rent it out if there's need of me moving to a far location lol

[@DionneEguono]

If the house increases in equity, you can resell and take the profit. The profit from the sale of a residential property is also free of capital gains tax. Or you could remortgage and use the profit as a deposit on a rental property

[@dunique192]

Additionally if you do remortgage you could remortgage on to a buy to let product and let out your property. You can then use the money you get to buy a new home of where the costs make sense and suit your needs.

[@junehitchcock170]

You won’t be able to find that interest rate now. Make sure you get a fixed rate so that you can plan and budget. Don’t over extend yourself in terms of your mortgage as mortgage rates won’t go down as low as Tochi’s again. In 1980s the interest rate went up to 15-18% and many people could not afford to pay their mortgage and they lost their house.

There is no recurrent property tax for home ownership in UK as far as I'm aware. But there is something called Stamp duty. Now that's paid during purchase but there is a price the house must be up to pay that. And if I recall correctly first time buyers may have some considerations. However we didn't pay that.
