We are in the process of buying a new house - we were more or less forced to go to asking price a month ago and the chain is now complete and we are about to start spending out on legal fees, survey etc. But - OMG at the papers today! It's all looking v shaky with the whole property market and am now v worried about a potential crash. I am pregnant with our second child and things are going to be tight as it is - our fixed rates come to an end in spring next year. We need a bigger house and this was going to be our "forever house". BUT as mentioned, worried about how we might survive were rates to go too much higher! Have bargained for having to go to 6% but not much more than that! Is anyone else in a similar position? What would you do?
