Rich and I looked at the buying history of our 2.5 bedroom house.
We bought it in 2004 for £91,000. It was the cheapest in the area.
The previous owners bought it in 2002 for £53,000, the owners before them bought it in 1998 for £32,000.
As far as I can tell there have been no major works (no minor ones either come to think of it) except the cellar has been filled in.
We had to get a 100% mortgage and work overtime to pay it. We were planning to have a family but the mortgage company is bleeding us dry!
Good luck to any 1st timers out there - Our house is now worth £110,000.
