In the same situation, looking like I need double the deposit to get somewhere half decent while keeping the repayments sensible.

Same. I’m holding off as much as I can and even applying for second jobs. I don’t know how I’m going to pay for this

Are you looking only in Sloane square or something?
If you're.looking for a first property, galleons reach, pontoon docks, custom house, etc all have great properties incl new builds and are all a sensible commute from the city!

Are you new here? 500k in Sloane Square will get me a parking lot. Don’t bknow ridiculous.

New builds have ridiculous service charges and are expensive. It’s not work the price they are charging

I have 75k for a deposit but my salary is like 60k, so I cannot afford more than 220k :(

Would you consider shared ownership? You will qualify. You can find some flats in some nice areas. You could get a two bed and occasionally rent out the second room. I think the tax allowance is £7k a year but you could rent it out for more. This means you can contribute more to your mortgage or build more investments.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
