gulp!!!it's a fantastic feeling and a scary feeling all at the same time isn't it! well done.
don't listen to media coverage of house prices, one thing is for sure in 10/20 years time your buy will be worth more than it is now and you have to pay to live somewhere anyway!
where is your new place? kent/london?

Rubbish!
I bought a flat in 2000 and it did anything but tie me down.
In fact I went around the world on the equity and I've still got some left to do the same!
...and even then my financial advisor has said I'm a good catch.
Mortgages don't necessarily mean sudden death - it's a wicked way to invest money.
The only rule - don't get emotionally attached to your property if you know you ain't ready to settle down.

After two months of DIY, cleaning, painting, preening etc my place is soon for sale 
I'm quite lucky that the identical apartment on the bottom and middle floors of my building are also now for sale (at stupidly high prices) so i'm gonna come in with a much better apartment with great views that they haven't got and undercut them both 8)

Brave man Buckley.
We used to rent out some properties, it was a funking nightmare - they tried to burn them down, flood them, rip the payphones out etc etc. They weren't dolers either
Never again

Drew, the other two are over valued and the owners haven't got a clue 
I know what mine is worth and what it'll get and i'll put it on the market for a bit above that rather than putting it on £15k above what it should be and then refusing anything less
