If I was starting out, I could never afford a mortgage for my house now.

the house im in ive been offered for a good price and could sell it for at least a third more straight away as long my landlord hasnt come to his senses but when i moved in here think the rate was about mid 50 s for this street apart form i have an extra bedroom and a 18 ft kitchen extension and that was a few year ago so it must be in the 90 s now at least
