After several months of thinking that it's time to finally give my parents the peace and quiet they deserve and get my own place I have gone and done it

I am entitled to enter the government homebuy scheme where they give you a loan to cover the cost of 30% of the house, with the owner finding the remaining 70% and confirmation arrived yesterday morning.
Only several new houses a month are given over to the home buy scheme by building developers and last week I found the perfect few. However went in to have a look around at the sites open day yesterday 4 of the 5 have already been reserved!!! Mass panic ensued as they are in an ideal location (free transport near by to work) and in a good area and building size big enough for me and my shoes

but they needed paperwork which was 30 miles away (thanks dad i'll buy you replacement fuel) and a 5% deposit (thank you HSBC

)
But after begging, pleading and phonecalls to a homebuy independant financial advisor for an assessement to secure the house, I am now the hopefully soon to be proud owner of a 2 bed coach house with 4 garages!!! (3 I unfortuantely have to give to the use of to other people)
Unfortunately solicitors fees car parking fine (sorry mum
