hello all,
first time on this forum, thanks for having me.
i am for the first time in my life in a position to buy some property.
a collection of circumstances have come together and my partner and i are actively looking.
we have £250,000 as deposit / stamp duty / repair money (have been saving and lucky to have inherited some money).
my partner has a full time job, £85000.
we are both first time buyers.
we live in London so even the above fortunate circumstances don't give us a huge range.
we're looking between the following, trying to decide the best moves:
• invest in London where we work and live (and currently pay £20,000/year in rent)
• invest in bristol where i'm from, to live later on and rent out for now
• invest abroad, cheaper holiday homes (France/Italy around €80,000)
• invest in scotland where she's from, Glasgow has cheaper flats
Any advice on how to take best advantage of the large deposit money and the first time buyer status of us both would be much appreciated!
thank you
