My house-buying journey has finally come to a successful end! 🎉

It all started last year with countless viewings—honestly, it felt like a nightmare at times. At one point, I even reached out to @Lexusgs430, who gave me some great advice on what to look out for during viewings. I eventually found a house I liked and was set to complete in August.

But as we got closer to completion, the far-right protests made me take a step back and really consider the area. I realized it was predominantly white, and I just didn’t feel comfortable. After already securing a mortgage with a 5% deposit, I made the tough decision to pull out. The seller wasn’t happy and even called me "wicked," but I stood my ground. My peace of mind mattered more.

I’m just 2 years and a few months in the UK, with my family still back home. Now, I’m hoping to start planning on bringing my kids here. Being a single buyer, this journey hasn’t been easy at all, but I was determined to put down a 10% deposit instead.

By the end of August, I started house hunting again. I found this property, and it checked all my boxes. By September, I was ready to move forward and asked my mortgage advisor to apply. Skipton declined me for no clear reason, but thankfully, Barclays approved me.

The process wasn’t smooth—it was a chain sale, and along the way, I even used part of my savings to support my brother when he arrived in September/October. But I managed to negotiate with the seller for some furniture—three beds, a fridge/freezer, a washing machine, and more—which made things a bit easier.

And now, as of Saturday, I have the keys in my hands! 🏡✨

Rent money 💰 is dead money 💰. This journey wasn’t easy, but Alhamdulillah, what once felt impossible became a reality.

May Almighty God make it easy and possible for everyone aspiring for the same. 🙏

Congratulations....... Glad to see landlords growing, within our community......... It's never pressure, but simply a challenge...... 😂😁

Hello nairalanders I know to a lot of Nigerians who have never left the country this may sound funny. But I'm indeed frustrated with my life in America. I moved to America as a student in 2016 for masters in an engineering degree and after about 7 years I obtained a U.S Greencard. I work a middle income job with the government and I'm here with my Nigerian wife. I have faced a series of health challenges since I got here and some have been resolved and some additionally ones have cropped in with the latest being depression and extreme fatigue. Currently I'm on antidepressants but I'm still depressed and frustrated. My job is not that taxing but I wish I could do more save for the extreme fatigue that the doctors have not been able to resolve. I wish I could hustle harder but my health is not allowing me to. I feel also very sad and lonely living in the U.S as it's only me and my wife and I dont really have any friends. Everyone here always mind their business and its tough building any meaningful relationships. I have toyed with the idea of moving back to Nigeria in my head since America has not been all I hoped it will be for me but my wife does not want to and she quickly reminds me of the employment suitation in Nigeria and how it is me that made her come here in the first place. She kind of prefers it here. We have no kids yet so that is one additional information. I'm just venting and frustrated and I hope maybe some Nairalanders can come to my aid. Additional information. I dont come from a rich family that has money sitting in the bank and its me and my own. We just bought a house on a 30 year mortgage so we pretty stuck with paying the debt for 30 years but I don't know how I'd live here for 30 years. Just looking for someone with experience to share ideas with since I have no one. I feel stuck. Please no insults

Sorry to read about your health challenges and depression......

Have you spoken to a professional therapist (not a pastor or imam)......

Search for activities that would deflect your mind, from your depressive state.. I hope your wife is your second team player.......

30 year mortgage, does not mean you're stuck for 30 years, you can sell the property, overpay your mortgage, cutting on the length, thereby saving on interest payment + you're also building equity and a good store of financial value.......

Hold this mantra, what you cannot help, is not worth thinking about.......

Most of the reviews I read about BG regarding this are not encouraging. In fact, most are of the view of calling a experienced individual to come and do the yearly service and fixing issues.
