I'd posted earlier in the month about my husband leaving me.
I am 25, work full time in a job I love, I take home £1200 a month.
I'm trying to sort out a long term plan, which is currently looking at my husband buying me out of our flat and I would then use this as a deposit on a new place.
AIBU to think I can do this myself? My family are keen for me to move back in with them (long term) and my husband has passed comment about me doing that too.
My only concern is financial. We have decided a figure of £10,000 which would buy me out the flat, and I have insisted he pays for the fees the divorce and solicitors would incur.
I have been looking at flats in an area which I would be looking to live in, some are quite cheap at about £60,000, but I will look at up to £80,000 (online mortgage calculator has said at my top range I could get a mortgage for 80k) so with a deposit, that gives me a bit of financial leeway. The only thing which concerns me is my only debt of a super high car payment (which I took out in the belief I was secure in my marriage and we were planning a family). I am planning to hand this back to the finance company after Christmas as I will be half way through my repayments then.
I am trying to be as prepared as possible before going full steam ahead with this and making appointment with mortgage advisers and viewing flats, but am I setting myself up for a fail?
