Another question too ask you all Should we buy a house before getting married? Or get married and then start saving for a house, as we are 23/24 year old, I said too my other half about getting married first then start saving for a house, we are living at my other half mum's house ATM and she has offers for us too stay abit longer What do you all think?
Hi I think that is a decision you have to make together :)
Definitley a decision you need to make together. You will need to decide how much you can save towards a deposit and also what type of house you would like. Me and my partner are getting married in May 2018 and plan to buy a house just before we will be saving 6,000 for the wedding and 12,000 for the deposit on the house.
Thankyou for the advice ladies :)
Hi Alshia. As others have said it is of course a decision you must come to together. But In my honest opinion I would buy a house before having a wedding. Me and my partner have had our house for 3 years and it is now worth £100k more than what we brought it for and are now selling it and moving to a bigger property, and the sale is also funding our wedding! We live just outside of London in a popular computing area so house prices rise quickly, although I appreciate not everywhere grows at the same rate our area does. I can only say things from my point of view, but I have heard so many people say they regret spending money on a wedding when years later they still don't have a house yet. A wedding is one day, a house is for life! Good luck and I am sure whatever you decide will be right for you!
Have a talk about it together and work out your budgets and if it's something you both can afford :)
House first, then you can save for your dream wedding and not scrimp to much!
I would say house first as then you dont have to live with the in laws once you are married but you have to decide this one together.
