*sigh* part 2
Now I am just fed up with the house hunt, and am seriously planning to use my savings on whisky and trips abroad (to buy more whisky).

Flats are expensive - yes, I should have bought in 1992. But why are all the refurbishments so sloppily done? Fast and sloppy to earn more money. The walls are covered with plates of plaster instead of fixing up the walls, often the plates are rather badly cut and fitted with holes and crack. And in general all that the skirting is improperly done. In one flat they had just nailed one moulding on top of another without fitting them. And yes, that left a bent moulding and a crack a centimetre wide. Amazing.

My sympathies. (And tea.) (And some chocolate.) (Virtual chocolate is both economical and healthy!!)

I really don't know much about flats or buying them, except that it's very wise not to buy anything crappy unless one really enjoys fixing things. (And even then one really needs to know exactly what kind of problems one is buying and can deal with.) Better to spend lots of time looking.

Good luck...

Thank you! And healthy choclate - amazing :)

Yeah, I'm not quite certian what I am looking for either. And I can spend days - even weeks contemplating buying a jacket, how much more time would I not spend on buying something as expensive as a flat??
