Selling up, mate.
Lifetime of renting here I come.

I read, sorry mate.
I meant 'why spirits' - you know they don't get you that pissed.

Hence 'whole bottle'

Won't you be in a similar financial boat once you've paid your debts off though?
I'm assuming your current accommodation expenses are much lower than renting will be.

I'll have to move somewhere cheaper.
Somewhere shit, befitting my dismal salary.

3.5 more years of a fixed repayment, no regard for inflation - it is impossible. I need to be able to pay more for my kid, which is otherwise impossible. If I sell now I should clear perhaps 90-100k if I am lucky, of which I owe maybe 60.

I have to do this.

I warn you...the wages are low, the hours are long, and I make disgusting and reasonable demands of my staff.

Then it is probably for the best.
I know you didn't ever want to have to resort to this, but the current situation is obviously having a detrimental effect on you.
I'm sure it'll be worth it when it's all sorted.

I've tried my best for a year and a half and it's just not sustainable any longer.

Sometimes you have to bite the bullet though.
My sister had to sell her lovely flat after her divorce in order to pay off her useless lump of an ex and go back to renting. She's never been happier, and is now in a massive cottage near Ford castle.

Maybe a shared equity property would be possible.

My brother had one of those, depends on what I'd have left over after paying every cunt off

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 31 May 2013, 14:31, Reply)

yeah but, if you can rent somewhere with 2 bedrooms you can have Len over more often and for longer
I reckon having greater access to her will make you happier in the long term than some bricks and mortar would

NO REAL NAMES PLEASE

i'm not sure it is a real name

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 31 May 2013, 14:28, Reply)

Yeah walking away has a lot of short term plusses
but I will be unlikely ever to own a place again.

On the bright side, you probably haven't got that long left to live anyway.

My brother and I have this conversation fairly regularly

Zoopla Estimate for my gaff: £239,584
Were this to be real, I'd have sixty grand left after clearing all debts.

*feels a little better*
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 31 May 2013, 14:42, Reply)

Haven't property prices in London gone up by about 6% this year?
Zoopla's just based on averages anyway so if your gaff's in good nick, nicely done out etc it may be worth more than that.

It's not.
The odd thing is that the estimated prices for various flats in my block are all over the place.

There will be a sharp increase in value once he moves out
