Intell they can uphold freedom of speech everywhere there talking out there ass.

Can we at least not hate the flag?... That's even more cringe

You don't have to hate the flag to not worship it

Huh

Wonder if the discount can be used as the deposit... Since the LTV will be 30/70

Is it better to build a home yourself rather than buying these prefabs

They'll spend at least as much as they're getting knocked off fixing issues with them

They won't be pre fab

The gov actually puts higher standards on affordable housing than private housing... Ironically

it's always better to build your own home

however, it's a very large task

and it breaks a lot of relationships if you're not a very very strong couple with good communications

Context is taken from my wife being an architect and us planning to build our own home and doing a fair amount of research on it

It's probably the only way now in Britain

Thats what I'm gonna do. Then I own the thing.

How easy is it to get land and planning permission to do it? I imagine that and getting connected in to utilities are among the harder things to do?

Planning isn't hard if you know what you're doing

and getting utilities isn't hard again, if you know what you're doing and you're not building in the highlands

if you're somewhere normal like a villiage - shouldn't be to hard

Or buy a run down gourguen / Victoria house in the middle of nowhere.

It's literally our only options here now.

And it will take as long you will hit retirement

getting land - mine and my partners deal is that we live in a villiage that's owned by a senior politician in the cons party - and the land is very aged - we're hoping to take a lease hold of a slice of their 1000 acher property

lease holds are nice because you get stat right to aquire at a fair market value and you can put all your money into the building and banks don't care if you have a long enough term

1000 achers? Your Lords or somthing?

they're lords indeed

Of cource they are.

old old family villiage

but it's ran very nicely

So how did you get that deal?

and actually is very very nice to work with the estate management

renting one of their properties from them>

just having enough cash each month to pay the 1300 rent mainly

hahahha

but everything around this area is around that price

So you never own? What is the point?

Wow, that's over 3x my mortgage payments, but I do live in a cheap area of the country

At the moment I don't, we're planning to build

that's what I'm talking about

I see.
