    What's your problem with people wishing to charge for services provided?

      So even if you owned the flat you would be paying £3200 to keep the flat going.

      That monthly mortgage payment had better be very low.

        Aye, £250 a month is more than I expected but it's an estimate, new owners can create their own management company and reduce such costs.

          How much is a small house in the same area you like? Say a similar size but freehold and with a small garden, parking and a garage?

            That would be a recommended approach. Far too many management companies out there taking the piss. They're just another bunch of parasites looking for an easy buck.

              Equivalent house in size in same area is £350-400k.

              The house I'd like to own in the area is £600-750k.

              And the dream house is £2 mln.

              Gotto aim high!

                If you had gone contracting 7 years ago, and bought gold with the income that £2m home would be yours mortgage free by now.

                    Does "not present in index" mean you have not crawled my site, or that you have no backlinks? The latter I can understand - but shouldn't I see something to demonstrate you looked at my site?
